MASCARA: THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE CLUMPY
Ah mascara's, the one beauty product I will always wear. My baby blonde eyelashes love a good
volumizing & super black mascara. However, not all mascara's are created equal. From the wand to the formula, mascara can be one of the hardest beauty products to purchase. But because I love testing different products, I've tested 5 mascaras over the last few months. The only nonnegotiable criteria was that it came in black, was volumizing & didn't clump. Enjoy!

Maybelline Full N' Soft Waterproof
Product Details: According to Maybelline's website, this mascara claims to build full, healthy looking lashes without the brittle feel. Clump proof. Advanced thickening formula with vitamin E that keeps lashes soft while nourishing them.
Review: Hands down, my absolute favorite mascara. Nothing I have tried even comes close. The want itself is the best, but my lashes stay soft all day. Doesn't clump. Doesn't dry out my lashes. I have yet to find any mascara better than this one. And it's under $8!
Diorshow Blackout
Product Details: "Diorshow Black Out Mascara gives your lashes a little more oomph and a lot more drama. Intensified by ultra-black, kohl pigments, the formula glides on smoothly and draws each lash out to show-stopping lengths. Wear it alone, or layer it over Diorshow to glamour-eyes in an instant!"--Sephora Website
Review: Just Ehhh. I know this is suppose to be the holy grail of mascaras, but it didn't do much for me. Felt it was little too heavy & clumpy. Didn't elongate my lashes & felt like it wore off throughout the day. And for $28, it needed to do whole hell of a lot more. I'd skip purchasing this. To me, its not worth the money.
Revlon Ultra Volume
Product Details: Conditioning, clump free formula that volumizes lashes. Short & long bristles to cover every lash with mascara & eliminate clumps.
Review: Nothing special. Didn't really volumize. Good for a quick swipe when you're running errands or not looking to have super sexy lashes.
Covergirl Clump Crusher
Product Details: "Curved molded brush allows for separation of lashes. Fine toothed brush allows complete coverage of lashes." --Ulta Website
Review: I tried this one because another blogger just raved at how great it is. And she has fabulous lashes. However, this did nothing for me. No volumizing. I found it to clump. I really only used it about 5 times & the forgot I even had it. It was that "awesome". It may be $8, but if you want it to cover all your lashes and give you yummy looking lashes, its not this one. This is more for those with long lashes who don't want thick lashes.
it Superhero
Product Details: "Imagine lashes so long and full, they appear to have stretched wider and longer before your eyes! Now, you can infuse your lashes with superhero powers in just one coat using Superhero Mascara. Proprietary Elastic Stretch Technology wraps each individual lash in a volume-boosting, lengthening and ultra-conditioning black cape of power and color that's clinically shown to give you your strongest, longest, thickest and most defined lashes!
Formulated with powerful peptides and proteins, strengthening biotin, lash-lifting polymers and plumping collagen, this anti-aging mascara will take your lashes to new heights. The innovative formula and Lash-Changing Power Brush work together to coat every lash from base to tips, lifting and separating to create a fuller lash line - no lash is left behind! This super-black mascara is also super-buildable, so lash power is at your fingertips; simply apply more coats to add volume and length." --- Ulta Website
My Review: Hate it. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but it was so clumpy the moment I pulled it out of the tube that I didn't even want to try it. But I did, It did seem like my lashes looked longer, but not wide like it says above. Just like the covergirl, I read a review from another blogger, but now I see why her lashes always look so heavy. Honestly ladies, I don't see how this makes your lashes longer & wider. It made them kind of long & super clumpy.
