Today’s post is going to be on my top mascaras that I like to use for everyday or when going out. Mascara is one of my favourite make-up items and it’s one of those products I just feel naked without! Haha
The other day, I was at my desk at work and realised I wasn’t wearing any mascara and honestly, I must’ve been in a serious rush because usually it’s something I never forget!
I resisted the hype on Benefit’s Roller Lash Mascara for a while, then caved haha. ‘They’re Real‘ held my love for Benefit mascara until Roller Lash. It holds a high curl and gives me separated and volumised lashes which is so good for my lashes as they are quite long but very straight and hate holding a curl. This mascara really gives a beautiful but natural everyday eyelash look with a nice length and no clumps. As Benefit says “ditch the curler”, I think for a more fluttery lash, the curlers are necessary but tbh they definitely do hold a curl with a couple coats and no curler!
This has got to be my all time favourite drugstore mascara! I used this throughout the whole of secondary school and it’s one of the biggest mystery’s to me why I didn’t repurchase it when I ran out! But alas, we’re reunited and it’s come back with three different versions! Honestly the classic in the silver packaging was my fave but I couldn’t find that one in Boots so purchased the gold instead! It’s just as good really except the wand is bendy which can be annoying at times. Anyway, the results are amazing, this mascara makes your lashes HUGE and it lasts all day with no flaking! It’s super lengthening and really fans out my lashes. My eyelashes are close to looking fake with this stuff and I’ve been asked many times if I’m wearing falsies! This is definitely a must have in your make up bag!
Firstly, I’d just like to say, I’m absolutely completely in love with every aspect of the packaging, especially the angled wand. I have loved the original Lancôme Hypnose for a while now and I wanted to try another which i’m so glad I did. The Grandiose is so intensely pigmented and leaves great volume and zero smudging! It’s great for lengthening and after 2 or 3 coats the results are incredible. I sometimes pair this with the Roller Lash to intensify the look and separate the lashes further.
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
I can’t seem to get enough of this one! I mentioned this in my July Favourites post and this mascara is truly incredible!
This has been my go to mascara this month – totally clump free, lengthening, volumising – you name it – it has all the features! It’s really quick and easy to apply, the hourglass shaped wand makes it easier to get right into the root of your eyelashes. One coat and you’re done, leaving my lashes so full and defined! On a night out, I would go for two or even three coats and it literally gives such magical results – I could go on and on…haha It is a bit on the pricey side but it’s totally worth it and another one of those must haves in your make up bag!
This mascara does exactly what it’s supposed to do! It’s totally clump free, long lasting, lengthening and volumising. It has a synthetic brush with a longer part on one side so you can really get right into the roots of your lashes and separate them out. It even really helps at separating the bottom lashes for a nice natural, healthy look. If you want long, black, separated lashes then this is totally the right mascara for you!
What I love most is how precise you can be wit the wand and you can go over your lashes as many times as you want without them getting clumpy, just sky-high and beautiful! Another plus for me is that Smashbox don’t participate in animal testing which is so great and more and more brands are now following in their footsteps 🙂
What are your favourite mascaras? I would love to know in the comments 🙂

I have always wanted to try the better than sex one but never wanted to spend the money on it. If its worth it though…I might have to pick it up! Some of my favorites are the Loreal Butterfly one and Voluminous Miss Manga, Urban Decay Perversion mascara, and the better than mascara one I got in my boxycharm.

Ahh the Better than Sex is amazing! My lashes are quite long already and I find that it really helps to separate and volumise! It works for both a natural look and a dramatic look with a few extra coats! It’s insane! Haha
Ahh I like the L’Oréal Butterly too but found that the Telescopic worked better for me 🙂
Miss Manga is great!
Ahh I haven’t actually tried the UD one but have heard great things! Will check it out 🙂
Definitely give Better Than Sex a go if you can! 🙂

You can also use Benefit s Bad Gal to layer it which makes them even more amazing! CoverGirl Clump Crusher is one of the best mascara s I ve used so far, it provides long and voluminous lashes every single time!

Ahh yes! I’m yet to try Bad Gal – will definitely give it a go and let you know how I get on 🙂
I’ve heard so much about the CoverGirl products but just never been able to get my hands on them since I live in London. But hoping to go to NYC early next year and I’ve added Clump Crusher to my shopping list! 😊
Thanks for the suggestions! ☺️
