Bargain Beauty: Top 4 Drugstore Mascara’s & Mascara Giveaway!

I’ve had a lot of you ask if I could suggest a drugstore mascara.  Well ladies today is your lucky day.   Below is a roundup of my top four favorite drugstore mascara’s.  

L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara
Cost: $5.89

I just recently discovered this myself from the suggestion of a fellow beauty vlogger and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  This mascara reminds me of a carbon as it is really black. I like the traditional wand, as it allows me to coat every lash perfectly.  Furthermore, it doesn’t clump like a lot of budget brands.  It is my long lash favorite, as it leaves me with long, luscious lashes, with awesome separation! 

Maybelline’s Volume Express, The Rocket 
Cost: $5.99

This product skyrocketed to the top of my mascara musts.  The 8x bigger, smoother mascara, adds length instantly, making this the great mascara in my searches. Additionally, it separates the lash which is a big must, when it comes to mascaras for me.   Also, Maybelline’s The Rocket, curls without clumping.  The patented supersonic brush glides on smoothly, in a single stroke leaving your lashes voluminous with no smudging. Lastly, this flawless mascara is suitable for all, as it comes in 3 shades; blackest black, very black, and brownish black!

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Washable Mascara Black
Cost: $8.99

This an impressive one, with a symmetrical brush that extends allowing you to get the corner of your lashes giving you a winged-out effect.  I found that it is amazing for lengthening, separating, and instantly volumizing the lashes.

Rimmel Extra Super Lash
On Sale Cost: $1.49

Rimmel London is not always an easy find at a drugstore.  I tried this based on a recommendation from a friend.  This $3 mascara has some benefits, being the one I wear when I go to work out.  I don’t wear any other makeup while working out.  However I like to have some lashes!  Plus, it's waterproof which comes in handy if I’m breaking a sweat.  The formula curls the lashes, which is why it has made it on my list.

So there you have it beauties, my Top 4 Drugstore Mascara’s. And don't forget to register below to win Maybelline's, Volume Express Mascara. a Rafflecopter giveaway

  15. Super surprised not to see CoverGirl, a definitely drugstore favorite even by pro makeup artists! I also love Benefit Mascara as well but they are not drug store. Believe it or not I have yet to try the Butterfly Mascara! Have you tried CG's Clump Crusher yet?

    1. I have not tried the Clump Crusher. But I plan too. Clump free is a must for me! Benefit has awesome mascara. My all time favorite is by TOO FACED, Better Than Sex. But that is a bit pricey and is not a drugstore brand, but worth the price!

  20. I'm an mascara hoarder. I can't get enough. When I apply my mascara I tend to mix both durg store brand and high end brand for even more coverage and fuller lashes.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I have only used a couple of mascara brands in my life, I have naturally long and full eyelashes so mascara has never really been a good addition for me. I will look at this deeper though for my teen step daughter who loves to wear that makeup most days.

  33. I used to spend so much on makeup and then discovered the make up in the drugstores and bought some because I was desperate. I kicked myself for all the money I wasted, it was just as good as the high priced stuff. I love Maybeline.

  57. I've used the same mascara since I was in high school. It works great - the brush is huge so it separates my lashes while I apply it. Thanks for sharing these, I might look into trying something different just to see how other mascaras perform.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Your first choice has been one of my favorite mascaras for almost 10 years!! I love the volume it adds - while not getting to chunky! Great round up over all!
