Our Search for the Perfect Mascara

L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes ($8.95):  I starting using Voluminous Million Lashes a few months ago after hearing a friend rave about it. It separates my lashes while still giving them volume. It glides on smoothly without a lot of extra effort and applications. Perfect for every day use.

Lancome Hypnose Star ($28):  Hypnose star is worth the splurge. I have been a fan of Lancome's Hypnose Mascara for years and the biggest difference between the two is Hypnose Star's dual action brush. It can take a little getting used to, but I found that it's easiest to apply with the flat side of the brush first then use the curved side to finish.  The overall effect is thick, dark, dramatic lashes.

Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara ($6.99): I am currently trying out Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express Mascara.  I like this a lot for everyday! It separates my unruly, wavy lashes & gives them definition.

Yves Saint Laurent Shocking ($30): For night, I am using Yves Saint Laurent Shocking.  It definitely oomphs up my eyelashes, almost like wearing false eyelashes!  It does tend to be a bit goopy, but it's nothing that an eyelash comb can’t fix.
