L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara

The perfect mascara for me!

This is the first macara I've ever tried that does exactly what I want it to. This is also the only mascara I've re-purchased more than two times and loved each time. It goes on wonderfully, seperates my lashes and holds the curl all day long. I never have an issue with flaking, clumping or raccoon eyes. At first I thought the brush was a bit small but it really helps for getting into the inner part of the lashes and on the bottom ones as well. My end result is perfect long, dark lashes. Love it!

Benefit BADgal Lash

Excellent brush, so-so product.

I bought this mascara at about $20 (CDN) because I absolutely love the Benefit line. I hadn't used their mascara before so I took a chance. I love the packaging and I adore the big bristly brush but I wasn't thrilled with the mascara. It took a long time to dry and even then it would get clumpy on the second coat. It also weighed my lashes down and didn't hold the curl. I also found it to be too flaky once it did dry. I ended up sticking to my old brand of mascara in the end but I did save the brush, cleaned it and it works fabulously as an eyebrow comb.
