It Cosmetics Blowout Mascara - Good Lash Day (Black)

I love how my lashes look when I apply mascara. I feel like it gives my natural lashes an extra oomph! The new mascara is developed with Drybar to bring the benefits of a blowout to lashes. The specially designed wand was inspired by the technology used to create barrel hair brushes. The wand features microsphere to catch all lashes to create instant lift, volume and separates lashes.

The formula is enriched with biotin and transparent polymers to enhance the super blank pigment to create a bold look. The mascara promises no clumps or flakes. So, I am going to admit how much of a makeup/skincare junkie I am. I own several IT cosmetics brushes and skincare products but, this was the first time I actually _used_ their product. Yup, I am one of those people that run to go buy something when it comes out and never actually uses it until much later. I was blown away how great my lashes looked. I loved using the mascara and it was very easy to use. The wand capture all my lashes and they didn't clump together. However, I did get a few smudges as the formula did take a bit to dry. Overall, I am a huge fan of the mascara and will definitely be buying a second tube.

Yves Saint Laurent The Shock Mascara - Asphalt Black

The voluminous mascara promises dramatic results. It promises with one coat it will give you voluminous lashes. The mascara did go on smoothly at first but after a few uses, I got clumps. The mascara also took a bit longer to dry than other mascaras because I always ended up with smudges. I also noticed that this tube of mascara dried out quicker than my other brands. I don't feel like it was worth it for me.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

The Better Than Sex mascara is a cult favorite. I can easily see why hordes of people love this mascara. The hourglass-shaped wand reaches every inch. The formula is enriched with Acacia Senegal Tree Extract and peptides. The vegan-friendly formula provided length and volume. A few coats of the jet black mascara made my lashes look like I am wearing falsies. I did notice that I got a few smudges on my cheeks and lids. But, overall it's still one of my favorites mascaras.

YSL The Shock Volumizing Mascara

The volumizing mascara promises to coat each lash with a single stroke. It promises not to clump and provide volume for days. I found the mascara to go smoothly and provided a thick fringe. I noticed that it did take a while to dry because I got smudges even after a minute or two after application. Personally, I felt like the mascara was very clumpy. Overall, it wasn't my favorite.

SmartFx Volume Extend Mascara is packed with vitamin B5, sericin, hydrolyzed silk to condition lashes. The mascara promises to provide a clump free full fringe look. I usually use NARS mascara but I decided to try a new one. I saw this mascara on sale and I definitely know why it is on sale. The formula felt a bit dry when applied to my lashes. I also didn't even notice a difference between the mascara on and my natural lashes.

Nars Audacious Mascara - 3871 Black Moon

The all in one mascara promises to separate, lengthen and amplify lashes. The lash catching brush has over 200 bristles that equally spreads out the buildable formula.  The tapered tip can be used for the inner and outer lashes along with the smaller lower lashes. The voluminous formula is lightweight and long wearing. The mascara went on easy and gave me a false eye look.  The formula didn't smudge or cause flakes but if you blink to quickly the formula ended up all over my eyelids. A definite new favorite mascara.
