Mascara.  My favorite, cannot live without, beauty product.  Here is a rundown of my most loved, and most often repurchased brands and formulas.  All are available at the drugstore, Ulta or Sephora.

L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise – A kind of drugstore dupe for Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.  Gives you thick, fluffy lashes. 

Essence Lash Princess – My favorite beauty discovery in 2018 is this rock solid mascara.  It’s also the cheapest on this list at $4.99.  It’s so good!

Better Than Sex by Too Faced – Terrible name, awesome product.

Super-Sizer by CoverGirl – Easy to apply, solid results.

Voluminous Original by L’Oreal – I’ve used this for years.  I try others and always come back.

Bottom Lash Mascara by Clinique – Do you need a separate mascara for your bottom lashes?  Yes, you do.  The teeny, tiny wand makes all the difference and it doesn’t smudge.

Perversion by Urban Decay – Great for lashy, lashes.

MAC Extended Play and Gigablack Lash – Another go-to mascara for bottom lashes.  Love.

The Falsies by Maybelline – For black and full lashes.

For absolute drop-dead gorgeous color, Clinique’s Chubby Lash in Black Honey is divine.  I’ve been obsessed with the Black Honey line since it launched in the ’90s.  I love the Black Honey eyeliner here.  The lip gloss is the best (classic!) and the Black Honey eye palette is also a favorite.

Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara – For black, fluffy lashes.

Legendary Lashes by Charlotte Tilbury – For the blackest black and full lashes.  Love it!

they’re Real by Benefit – A longtime favorite for longer looking lashes.
