Sephora's Best Selling Mascaras Compared (Plus Some Others)

HELLO friends!!

It's been a minute since I have posted but here I am once again! I got very busy with school and work and other various surprises haha.

I have too many mascaras, as any good makeup addict does. The flashy packaging, amazing reviews and beyond belief ads always convince us that this new mascara is the next best thing! But what's really the best?

Have you ever noticed how mascara ads will apply mascara to a model wearing false lashes?





So how do we know what the mascara will actually look like? We don't until we buy it and try it, but then it's too late if the mascara doesn't live up to the hype! That's exactly what this post is about.

Before we get started don't forget to subscribe to my blog for email updates when I post!

I've amalgamated a decent collection of mascaras. A lot of which are best sellers at Sephora and a few from Ulta and some drugstore, and generic brand mascaras. I'm going to apply the mascaras with two coats and no curl, and compare all of them side by side in a no BS review.

Here's the lineup of mascaras we will be looking at today:


Also, a big factor when it comes to the quality of a product is the price, so I have factored that in as well. Surprisingly some luxury designer brands ended up being less expensive per milliliter or gram than more middle-road brands.
