Mascara Madness - My Top 10

May 26, 2013 is Nordstrom's Mascara Madness where you can buy any 2 mascaras and get 1 free (mix and match from any cosmetics line).  In honor of the event, I've creating a list of my Top 10 mascaras....




#10 Lancome Hypnose


An old fav that is still one of the best even years later when so many other mascaras have taken over the market including its own offshoots (one appears below).  Great volume, little clump, small bristles reach every lash.











#9 Buxom Lash

A thick teeny tiny bristled brush helps to create a fuller look.  And if you are looking for something natural, it's got no parabens, sulfates, phthalates!














#8 Sephora Outrageous Volume Mascara


When the $24-$30 price range on these mascaras seems a little steep, head for this $15 mascara by Sephora.  Its creates lots of volume and length without hurting the wallet! ...And it performs right there at the top with the rest of these.













#7 Givenchy Noir Couture 4 in 1 Mascara


Gotta try this one just because the brush is so fun and different.  "4 in 1" is promising volume, curl, length, and nourishment...meaning some long term improvement of your naked lashes themselves.  It should say "5 in 1"...because I think definition is the main thing you get from Givenchy.












#6 Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

I am NOT a fan of adding mascara to your bottom lashes unless you really feel like you need it...too much of a raccoon eyes hazard for me.  However this is a great mascara for top lashes when you want just that little bit for a quick trip out of the house. Just to add a little something special to your look without the drama that you get from all my other choices.











#5 Lancome Definicils

I had to include this grandmother of mascaras because I think it was my first love over 15 years ago! If you don't want too much drama but want basic definition, this is still a great staple! I like the drama...so I've moved on, but it deserves the credit!














#4 Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara

This is the newest mascara in the Diorshow family.  And after much hesitance due to the other offshoots being less than expected, I tried it and loved it!  Length, length, length...that's all you need to know!













#3 Lancome Hypnose Star

I tried this on the recommendation of a friend and it really is a Lancome's newest success!  Great for fuller lashes because of the super black shade (lots of pigment) that helps to create major umph!














#2 Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Falsies without real falsies!  See my prior post ("I cheated on my mascara").  A true 2nd runner up!















#1 Diorshow
THE ORIGINAL, THE BEST, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT!  Again...just look at my previous post on why I love it so much.  DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA... 'Nuff said!
