four mini mascara reviews (mascara discovery collection)

Mascara is the ultimate finishing touch. It can add a little extra drama to the lashes, with lots of length and volume. However, not all mascaras are created equally. Some are bold and others are lackluster. Over the last little while, I have been putting some mini versions of popular mascaras to the test as part of the Mascara Discovery Collection. (If you missed that show and tell post, be sure to check it out here.) The set came with eight different mascaras and a voucher for one full sized version. I have been putting them all to the test in order to make my final decision, which will be revealed in a future post. For now, here are the first four mascara reviews, which includes products from Benefit, Yves Saint Laurent, Lancome, and Too Faced.

Benefit and Too Faced. The first two mini reviews are for the BadGal Bang! Volumizing Mascara from Benefit Cosmetics and Better Than Sex Mascara from Too Faced. I have tried a few different mascaras from Benefit in the past and really liked them, especially the They're Real! Mascara. However, the price of high end mascaras caused me to switch to comparable drugstore products instead. This Mascara Discovery Collection made it possible to test out eight different high end mascaras and then choose a full sized version afterward. So far, it is the BadGal Bang! Volumizing Mascara that is number one on my list. It offers length and volume...and the colour is a dark and dramatic black. I love how bold and glamorous this mascara is. Then there is the Better Than Sex Mascara from Too Faced. This is one that I have tried before and enjoyed. It really makes the lashes look fabulous and has a fluffy mascara wand that makes it quick and easy to coat the eyelashes. This is definitely a contender. 

Yves Saint Laurent and Lancome. The next two mini mascaras in this set were the Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara from Yves Saint Laurent and the Hypnose Drama Mascara from Lancome. The Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara is decent and offers a lot of length, but despite the name, it unfortunately does not deliver on volume. It is a good choice is lots of length is your priority, but this particular mascara didn't check all the boxes for me. As for the Hypnose Drama Mascara from Lancome? I did not like this at all. It does add length to the lashes, but it has a very strong perfume scent and that scent caused some irritation. This mascara is not something that I plan to continue using, so it is good that I was able to try out this mini version.

Have you tried any of these high end mascaras? What kind of mascara do you like to use on a regular basis?
