People ask me all the time if my lashes are real, or what mascara I use. And if I could only wear one make up product for the rest of my life I would choose MASCARA! However, it's SOOO hard to find the perfect mascara. The one that gives us length, volume, and holds the perfect curl. Since I started wearing makeup, I have probably tried over 40 different mascaras!
*As a side note, I feel it's a waste of money to pay for high end mascara. Brands like Revlon, Covergirl, Maybelline, Loreal, and Rimmel, have some amazing products. Although, I just purchased a set of 12 sample high end mascaras for only 20$! Honestly, I haven't been impressed, but if I find a keeper I will surely let you know!

When looking for the perfect mascara you want to take into consideration what type of eyelashes you have. If you have really straight lashes, I would recommend using a waterproof mascara after curling your lashes, because it will hold the curl. For shorter, thinner lashes, fatter brushes seem to work best (covergirl lash blast). Personally I have long, moderately thick, naturally curled lashes. So keep that in mind when I share my favorite.
My Holy Grail Mascara!
Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara
I can't say enough good things about this mascara, It last all day, gives amazing length, and is the perfect black. I have never had a problem with this mascara thickening, or clumping, and recommend this year round. The thin brush makes it easy to get every single lash, for the perfect eye. It also, is great for the bottom lashes. Bottom lashes can clump easier because they are so delicate, but the sharpness of this brush eliminates that problem.
This retails for around $10.99, depending on the drugstore.
My favorite mascara combination would be this mascara, with Maybelline Falsies on tops. The Falsies gives some extra volume, which can be great for a night out.
