Mascara. It is the first make-up product you learn to love. You hate it when runs off your face, you hate it when you can't get it off your face. The strange looking wand which seems to magically make voluminous and long lashes appear. Mascara. What would we do without it?
Personally, I love mascara, and once I've found a decent one, I am not one to switch. Recently I have gained a few gems that I can't help but love. That is why I've decided to share my favorite no-running-voluminous-lenghtening-and-just-plain-amazing mascara's. I've catagorized the mascara's in how natural they look, how voluminous, long and seperated it makes my lashes look, how long it stays on my lashes and the price. These are the things I think are important when looking for a new, great mascara.

Price: $$
Conclusion: Amazing mascara which makes my lashes look super long and seperated. If you want a little more drama, this is not the mascara for you though. It is not really that voluminizing and at the end of the day, it looks good, but not as good as it did when you put it on in the morning. The wand bends, which is what gives you the 'feathery,' natural look.
#2 They're Real mascara - Benefit

Voluminizing: ++
Lengthening: ++
Seperation: ++
Staying power: ++
Price: $$$
Conclusion:
As most people are well aware, (Wow, this mascara is popular) the They're Real mascara by Benefit is incredible. It makes my lashes look super long, seperated and voluminized and it does not budge at all! Only downsider is the plastic wand, which I personally don't mind too much. It is also quite pricey. It is around €21,-, which can be a bit above your budget.
TIP: Benefit do some amazing gift sets including a mini size of this mascara, so put it on your wish list!
#1 Lash Sensational mascara - Maybelline
Natural look: ++
Voluminizing: ++
Lengthening: ++
Seperation: ++
Staying power: ++
Price: $$
Conclusion: I can't say anything about this mascara except for the fact that it is in-cre-di-ble. In the second picture, you can see that the wand has an odd shape. This is what makes your lashes so voluminized, long and seperated. It looks as if you naturally have super long, curly lashes and this mascara doesn't break the bank either. Finally, this mascara does not budge at all. This is 100% my favorite.
