The Best Mascara

They say the eyes are the windows to your soul, so what are your eyelashes? They are one of the most important body parts, because a simple sweep of mascara can make you go from unkept to elegant.

Everyone looks for different things in a mascara, because everyone has different eyelashes, and they're mascaras that address all of those different types. In the past 2 months I have tried 20+ mascaras in search of the best overall mascara. I went to make-up counters, bought mascaras, and received mascaras  as free samples. I tried from all price points, Cover-Girl to Dior and everything in between. I am finally ready to crown the winner.

Max Factor False Lash Effect

This is the perfect mascara! It lengthens, separates, and thickens without being lumpy or flaking. It is a drugstore product so it is inexpensive, but here is the sad news, it's not available in the US. Max Factor used to be in the states but several years back they stopped selling in the US, now they predominantly sell in the UK. Don't despair it is available through amazon.com, of course it means you will pay more. I paid $18 for mine including shipping from London, its less expensive than some luxury brands and it works better. 

Now the runner-up is Buxom Lash by Bare Escentuals this is also an amazing mascara and has the same effect as the Max Factor mascara. Buxom is an American brand and you can find it at Sephora costing $19. I still prefer Max Factor because it really does give you the false lash effect. 

Toodles, lovelies!
