Last Christmas, I got more mascara than I knew what to do with.
Here are my raves (and 'not so muches'):
They're Real by benefit
Pros: This stuff builds VERY quickly and is filled with fibers so your lashes look huge and bold with minimal effort. Definitely my go-to when I don't have time for falsies and need a bold 'going out' look. Also does a great job of lifting lashes.
Cons: It comes off in bits and takes a little more effort to rinse off (I steer clear of waterproof mascara b/c I'm too lazy to use make up remover on a daily basis). Also, after a longg night, some of the bits can sometimes rub off under-eye :/

Longest Lash by Jane Iredale
Pros: The brand adheres to a more natural product. It has a pretty skinny but bristley brush so I've used it for my bottom lashes only (read Cons)
Cons: This product does not layer at all. I could not use this for even my daytime look b/c it's just so light. I've relegated it to bottom lash territory only.

Hypnose Star by Lancome
Pros: Smells like roses and layers very well. This is my go-to day wear mascara of the year. Washes off easily in water.
Cons: None, it's awesome.

Telescopic by L'Oreal
Pros: This is my cheap drugstore go-to product. Love the thin plastic bristles that comb through clumps and gives great bold lash coverage. Layers very well. Washes off easily in water. Lasts forever too.
Cons: Doesn't do anything in the curl territory.

Diorshow Maximizer and Diorshow Mascara
Pros: The Maximizer is a great primer to add thickness to lashes before putting the mascara on. It also supposedly helps hold a curl. Decent performance but not really worth the price.
Cons: I have the "sample size" so the wand length was hard to work with due to the substantial bristle widtch. Also, having to use two products is annoying.

Until next Christmas!!
