L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara

HATE it.

Let me preface this review by saying that mascara is something extremely personal. Despite the glorious reviews surrounding this mascara, it clumped my lashes like no tomorrow but provided a decent amount of volume. I will not be buying this mascara again. It flaked throughout the day giving me raccoon eyes and my lashes were not separated whatsoever. I have long lashes so it does not take an amazing mascara to make my eyes look good, but this mascara is flat out horrible in my opinion. Look elsewhere but some people are absolutely in love with it so who knows.

Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara

I actually liked this one.

I bought this one a while back and used the entire tube. Keep in mind, this is a lengthening mascara so if you're looking for volume, go look somewhere else. I thought it did a really nice job of making my lashes noticeably longer. It separated well and NEVER looked clumpy on me. If you're not into the two step mascaras which always give a good amount of length, I recommend this one. Is it my absolute favorite? No, but it's definitely in the top and I actually really loved it.

Rimmel London Glam Eyes Mascara

Don't like it at all

It is not volumizing like the packaging claims it would be. I feel like I have to spend a good while making sure my lashes don't look clumpy which is ironic because that's why I originally bought it: because the wand looked like it would separate my lashes well. I found my lashes criss crossed (their pretty long) and I did not like this mascara. Perhaps you might want to try it because I always say that just like foundation, mascara is different for each person. I just didn't care for this one. In essence: not enough volume, doesn't separate as well, but does give good length!

L'Oreal Paris Extra-Volume Hydra Collagen Plumping Mascara

Mascara Is Something Personal

Initially, I was hesitant to try this mascara because of the fact that the first page is littered with scores below 5. But then, I decided to try it for kicks because it was only $5 at Target. I absolutely LOVED it. This is thus far my favorite drug store mascara and I only have a few more to try until I've tried them all. I also like Maybelline Lash Stylist. But, I think this just goes to show that if you're looking for a mascara, you need to try it for yourself and not necessarily listen to others' reviews. Everyone has different lashes and so to say that a mascara is universally bad would be unfair. I say give it a whirl. You might just like it.
