2 Mascaras Worth the Splurge

2 mascaras worth the splurge


Hey you! Happy Friday! What are your plans? I'm heading to my hometown for a certain nephew's birthday! Of course I'll be packing mascara. Yesterday, I shared 3 Mascaras Under $4, but I know not everyone is a drugstore fanatic like I am. I thought you might enjoy these high-end mascaras that I've been loving. They're seriously so good, and they just might be your next favorite mascara.

LORAC Special Effects--I received this in my Hautelook Summer Essentials Bag (I'll be reviewing that next week) and was instantly in love with it. It has a primer, which is white and thin in consistency. It helps to give length. But the star here is the actual mascara itself. The formula is thick, almost of a hot fudge consistency. Normally, a wet mascara would instantly have me assume it would be clumpy. Not this mascara! It gives length and definition to lashes. My lashes were separated and there were no clumps, no matter how many coats I tried. I've never had a mascara that worked this well on separation and definition. $23

Too Faced Better Than Sex--I know I'm old, and this will make me sound like a prude, but that name. I mean, really? The name is certainly is an attention-grabber, but what about the mascara? First up, the packaging is cute and pink, and it's a little heavy, but not like it's a weight or anything. The wand itself is hourglass-shaped, which adds to the sexy factor, and was inspired by blonde bombshells. Better Than Sex mascara delivers long, curly lashes with lots of volume. I'm obsessed with it. $23

I know this is a shameless #carselfie but look at those lashes!


Would you try either of these?

  7. Impressive results - no clumping and keeps the lashes separate. My favourite at the moment (well has been for a while) is Chanel Inimitable Intense.

  11. Happy bday to your nephew:) And I'm like you. With kids, that Too Faced product will be a big no-no in the house just because of the name:(
    My all-time fave mascara splurge is a Chanel one, which is so pricey I've only bought it once. It's really amazing though...sigh....

  12. Mascara junkie here and I'm pregnant so I should really be buying other things...like all the baby stuff I don't yet understand!
    But I understand mascara and love these suggestions so who knows, maybe I will buy myself a present!!
    My favorite all time mascara is benefit "they're real." I love everything about it! I work in a hot & steamy restaurant and it last through the day, the brush is fantastic, and it gets every single lash. If you've never tried it, I'd highly recommend it!

  13. I'm a cheapskate haha, so I'll probably stick to the drugstore mascaras. I do LOVE Two Faced eye shadows though so I'm not surprised that their mascara is amazing too. :)

  15. I am all about no clumps! I will have to check this out. $23 is really not a lot of money if you get a quality product and it does what it promises to do.

  19. Oh man, that too faced mascara looks AMAZING on you! I think that name is a little much too, I mean sex doesn't have to sell to women for us to like it. If it works, we love it!

  26. My lashes are always playing hide-and-seek with me; with more of the hiding. The car selfie makes me want to steal your lashes!

  27. I'm a drugstore beauty gal personally, but these both seem to be amazing!

  29. You know, I think mascara is the one thing I wouldn't splurge on or go high end just because I've found ones at the drugstore that I've loved for years. That being said, these make your lashes look absolutely amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yes. Those lashes are AMAAAAAZING! :-) lol

    ReplyDelete
  31. These are awesome! Seriously, I was going to send you a message asking about your all-time favorite mascara. I need to restock but want something different.
