I just cracked open this tube of mascara a few days ago and so far, we’re very good friends. The packaging screams high end and the brush’s design is amazing. It’s shaped like an hourglass so it’s easy to layer on as many coats as you like. If you wan a mascara that feels gentle as it goes on then you’ll love this one. My favorite consultant at my local Sephora tells me that this is the mascara she buys over and over again. $31.94 at amazon.com

If you’re going to go for a drugstore mascara, this’s the best you can get. It’s actually been compared to Benefit’s They’re Real mascara because of the similar brush texture. I’ll admit that I prefer a plastic brush because I feel like it goes deeper into my lashes and deposits more mascara. It seems easier to achieve a defined, dramatic look with this sort of brush. I always receive compliments on my lashes when I wear this mascara. $6.45 at amazon.com
