High End Mascara: Is It Really Worth The Price?

Hello Everybody! Today I am going to talk to you about my fave beauty product, mascara! If I had to use only one makeup item for the rest of my life, it would be mascara. Can't live without it. I forgot to put it on one day at work and it was like "are you ok?" "are you sick?" "you look different today". Not to mention how naked I felt without it! Ah, mascara...thank you for always being there for me and opening up my peepers.

I have always been a drug store makeup kind of gal because lets face it, I am not rich and it's more convenient! In the past few years having ordered from Sephora, I have received mini mascaras of the high end variety. Recently, I have been loving the Nars Audacious mascara in Black Moon. When I first received it, I did not like it because of the applicator. It is very spiky and hurts your waterline if you're not careful with application. After I got the hang of it, I started loving the effect it had on my lashes. It separates, it volumizes, it gives length, girl it does it all! I have been going back and forth with myself on whether I should splurge on the full size version ($34). Mascara tends to last me a good amount of time so I think its worth the price for this one. I have read reviews saying that it clumps after awhile, but I have nothing negative to say about this mascara at all. Please keep in mind that I am blessed with long lashes so you may not get the same length but I am sure it will give you great results regardless.

While debating on whether I should purchase the full size Nars mascara, I figured I would put on my old mascara Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Flared in Blackest Black. The difference is crazy. The Maybelline mascara doesn't give the same length, separation or volume as the Nars. The Nars black is also a richer black, it looks more like false lashes than the Maybelline does.

For me its a no-brainer, I will be sticking with my new found love Nars Audacious Mascara and saying goodbye to drugstore brands!

Thanks for reading, remember to let your inner beauty shine!
