Top 5 Mascaras

Hello my lovelies! Sorry for the post being a day late and it not being the one planned (#2014BC Spring OOTD) I promise that that one is on it's way although slightly late again I admit, I have been so busy lately and due to that, mega tired as well! So I'm a bit behind of schedule and no where near as organised as I'd hoped I'd be. 
Anyway I hope you all had a good easter and didn't feel sick after eating lots of chocolate!

Today I am going to be sharing with you my top 5 mascaras at the moment, mascara is one of my favourite products to switch up and find new alternatives so when I find ones I love they tend to be ones I've used for a long time or have really impressed me, I have loved all of these for a while now and each have different qualities that make me reach for them on certain occasions; so I'll dive in (this is not in order of preference).

First (Left to Right) is Bourjois' Ultra Care Volume Glamour mascara, this is the newest of the bunch to my collection and the one with the biggest love hate relationship! Yet it still made it to my top 5 so it's definitely a good'un. It's wand is dense therefore delivers a good amount of mascara in one go, granted this can sometimes be clumpy especially when the tube is new (hence love/hate) yet when it's dried out a little it becomes a brilliant volume building mascara that is perfect for a top coat over another mascara for extra oomph or even when switching day makeup to an evening look.

Up next is good old Estee Lauder's Double Wear Lengthening Mascara, this one has regularly reappeared on here and there's no doubt it's definitely my favourite high end mascara (not that I've tried many). It is amazing on it's own or built up with Maybelline's Colossal (the perfect mascara duo), it's really does give your lashes amazing length and I have had quite a few people ask if I was wearing false lashes with this on, so this is one for those of you who need length but not too much volume, although a few coats can add to that.

Soap and Glory's Thick & Fast just had to be up here with the others, I have loved this since I got a full sized tube free in a magazine, that's right pretty good deal huh?, I was super impressed straight away and that is saying something coming from someone who is quite picky with her mascaras! I gives lots of volume but no clumps and the wand is nice a full so it can grab all of your lashes.

This wouldn't be my top 5 if Maybelline's Colossal didn't appear somewhere! This is just the epitome of the perfect mascara and better yet it is cheap too! I have used this one for years and I can't count the amount of times I've repurchased it. Considering I like to try out lots of different mascaras saying that I've repurchased this one definitely proves the point. I love it, just love it.

Last but not least the infamous Benefit They're Real mascara, I go this one as a freebie in Elle magazine with just about every other bblogger out there and seriously fell in love; it's one that I have to use, then leave, then come back to to realise how much I love it but it really does make your eyelashes look long and full and separates them beautifully. The wand on this one really grabs your lashes from the root and coats them evenly, giving full colour opacity and no clumps at all. I know this one has been reviewed to death so I won't bore you with another rave, however I will state my love for it and when I finish this tube and need a new mascara, (once I've used up my stash) I will definitely repurchase this!

So there you go! My top 5 favourite mascaras, from drugstore to highend, mascara is one of my favourite and the most essential products I use so I love to try out others and find new ones. I've been looking at the Collection Does it All mascara and think I will probably try it out as I have loved the other Collection mascaras in the past. If you have tried it out let me know by email or in the comments below, and drop me some suggestions for others if you have any :)

See you soon for my ever delayed #2014BloggerChallenge post.

Love,
