Mascara is probably the one beauty product which I simply could not go without so I’ve compiled my all time favourites which includes a mini review of each product. I have naturally very fair lashes, which luckily are quite long, so it’s a necessity in my everyday makeup bag. I tend to be quite picky when it comes to my mascara so when I find one I like I stick to it. In today’s blog post I’m sharing my all-time mascara favourites which I’ve tried and tested – some over the years and some in recent months. I hope it’s helpful to you if you are thinking of trying a new mascara product or looking for that perfect mascara.

This is my number 1 all time favourite mascara by far. I’ve been using Benefit Bad Gal mascara for years and currently have it in full size and travel size for on-the-go. I am moreso a fan of bristle brushes so this is perfect for me. It has a really large bristle brush coats your lashes evenly and adds so much volume. I haven’t actually reviewed this before on the blog as it’s a product which has been around a while so do let me know in the comments below if you would like to read a more detailed review on Benefit Bad Gal mascara. I did however feature it in a very early blog post back in 2013 which shows how long I’ve been a fan.

This is a more recent mascara favourite which I discovered in the Urban Decay Naked on the Run palette. Again it’s a bristle brush so I fell in love instantly. The brush however is quite narrower when compared to Benefit Bad Gal so I’ve found it gives a completely different effect on your lashes. I’ve only got it in the travel size currently but will most definitely be upgrading once I’ve got finished this one.

Again this is a mascara which I haven’t featured on the blog before and not surprisingly again it’s a bristle brush. In contrast to the other mascara wands mentioned the Lance Hypnose mascara wand is slightly curved. This is a more high-end mascara but definitely worth the money as it’s quite long-lasting and doesn’t clump.

The latest Benefit mascara offering was hyped quite a lot and it didn’t leave me disappointed. I’ve only got it in the travel size currently but I absolutely love the packaging of the full size product. What I like most about this mascara is the innovative hook and curl technology in the wand, it’s really quite different to any other mascara in the market. I reviewed Benefit Roller Lash in detail recently on the blog and am quite liking it lately.

A lot of ladies swear by Benefit They’re Real and while I’ll always be more of a Bad Gal kind of girl (lol) I do still quite like this mascara too. When it was first released there was a mad rush to try it and I do like how it really divides the individual lashes. It’s nice for a spidery lash effect which can look quite cool for an evening look.

Finally I’ve included my favourite drug store mascara which is Maybelline Great Lash. Before I started beauty blogging this was probably the mascara that I used the most. It’s quite good for an everyday mascara and I’d recommend it for the younger age group as I quite liked it when I was in university. It does tend to dry out quite quickly however so it’s good that it’s not so expensive. I do still have this in my makeup bag and like to use it every now and again for a different look. The wand is quite smaller when compared to the previous mascaras mentioned but it’s good for getting in and coating every last bit of your lashes.
