We made it to the weekend! I'm excited for a much-needed 3 day weekend. I'll probably be taking Monday off, but before I sign off, I wanted to pop in! Y'all know my favorite makeup item is mascara. It's easy to use, makes an impact...and...you can get it for CHEAP!
Here are 10 of the best mascaras under $10--let me know which ones you love! I based "the best" via reviews, sales, and personal use on myself and clients. Don't see your fave on here? This is just round one!
L'Oreal Voluminous--A classic loved by many (Kim K is a fan) for full lashes
Covergirl Clump Crusher--It doesn't irritate eyes and is one of those mascaras I can get anyone who hates mascara to wear.
Maybelline Lash Sensational--This is a new addition to my tried-and-true picks, and I've shared it a few times on the blog. It helps to define and lengthen so well!
L'Oreal Telescopic--For when you want extra long lashes
Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara--This just makes the list at $9.99, but it's a nice organic mascara for everyday wear.
NYX Doll Eye--There are two versions of this: long lash and volume, and I really like them both--a rarity in a mascara series. The microfibers take this to another level.
Rimmel Lash Accelerator--Supposedly this makes lashes longer and such after using for 30 days. I don't know about that, BUT it is my trick for thicker-looking lashes. Did you know Rimmel invented mascara?
Essence Lash Princess--There are two versions of this, but this one I love for volume in my lashes. For $4.99 it's worth a try if you haven't. Some people have had clumping issues, but not for me.
Maybelline The Colossal Volum Express--Another great volumizing mascara. Love the waterproof version of this as well.
Jordana Best Lash Extreme---One of the cheapest mascaras that I love. It really delivers on volume. I find mine at Walgreens, Kmart, or online.
This is just volume 1! I have tons more to share!
Which of these do you love?
Extra Elle:
No big plans this weekend--the first Memorial Weekend in over a decade I won't be on a beach. BUT I'm getting my hair done today, which is always a treat.
Lash sensational is my fav too! Great picks :)

I've never tried any of these but I've heard great things about the Colossal mascara! And I love the primer version of the Voluminous mascara so I should try it! Happy Friday! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteI tried the Essence Princess Lash mascara and it was a nightmare at first, but I followed some recommendations of other bloggers, I left it a while to dry and now it is actually really good, I enjoy using it :)

I'm using the Colossal right now & really having good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm SOOO intrigued by the organic one!
I bought a tube of the Maybelline Lash Sensational on sale and I can't wait to try it knowing how much you like it.
ReplyDeleteLove Lash Princess. Voluminous and Lash Sensationals! They are my top drugstore picks!
ReplyDeleteI love lash sensational and colossal as well! Enjoy getting your hairs did! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Rimmel invented mascara! That must be why their ScandalEyes is my favorite mascara! ;) I do also love the L'Oreal Voluminous one too, though!
ReplyDeleteIf there is one thing I could never give up- it's my mascara! I live for the stuff- especially at a great price!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of these mascaras... there is one mascara everyone has been raving about that I want to try and I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head. I wish I lived closer to a beach! Enjoy getting your hair done! I have a couple weeks till my appt. and I am SO ready for it!

Will always be a fan of the L'Oreal Voluminous one. And we finally have Jordana here so I can try the mascara! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI love Lash Sensational :)

I really wanna try the Last Sensational! I've tried physicians formula in the past and I was pretty happy with it, I definitely like the clean ingredients. I just bought L'Oreal Collagen mascara and I've been really loving it, it was also $9 something, so under $10, but it's been performing a lot better than I expected.
ReplyDeleteTelescopic hands freaking down ;) I keep trying others and I don't know why I even bother! It's my very favorite!
ReplyDeleteLash sensational is definitely my favorite! I want to try the physicians formula one!
ReplyDeleteSo many choices! I want to try the NYX Doll Eye mascara :)
ReplyDeleteI love maybelline mascaras! They give amazing results!

I only tried the Maybelline one and I have the Telescopic mascara but haven't tried it yet!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! I've tried several of these and the ones I haven't are going on my wishlist. I love the telescopic kind and the CG clump crusher too. I know I've tried the Colossal one but I don't remember what I thought.

I picked up the Physician's Formula Organic wear a few weeks ago & haven't yet opened it! I hear AMAZING things about it, so can't wait to try it! I personally always prefer to purchase drugstore mascaras, so I love a good round up like this so I know what to pick up next!

I have recently tried a few NYX items and really liked them. The mascara sounds great too now! I had no clue that Rimmel invented mascara either!
ReplyDeleteI love Loreal Voluminous, Lash Sensational, Lash Princess, and the Jordana Best Lash Extreme. I want to try the Telescopic, the new Maybelline in the metallic gold tube, and the new Loreal that looks like the Too Faced BTS. I don't have plans this weekend either but to relax! Work has been crazy busy lately so I plan on snuggling with my pup and doing nothing at all!
ReplyDeleteThe CG Clump Crusher is my never-fail mascara to use on other people, too! The waterproof version of this is great as well. And I have been a longtime fan of the Rimmel Lash Accelerator...it does not get enough love in the YouTube/blogging world! Definitely try the L'Oreal primer if you are into primers. It definitely rivals Lancome's primer (which makes sense, since they are "cousins," lol).
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for some cheaper, really good mascaras as my favourites at the moment are Benefit Roller Lash and They're Real and Lancome Hypnose Drama which are a little more pricey. I love the sound of L'Oreal Voluminous so I think that will be first on my list to try :) x
ReplyDeleteI've used Chanel Le Volume for a long time and I just didn't believe that a budget proof mascara could ever work as well, but I've recently fallen in love with False Lash Effect by Max Factor and it works great as well!
ReplyDeleteI have tried the black Telescopic but never the gold tube! I love L'Oreal Voluminous too, it's a classic for a reason.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I should try Physician's formula and tried L'OREAL voluminous with mixed results. I'll have to try it again!
ReplyDeleteI have only tried a few of these, but they all look great and I love the packaging :) xx

I am not a make up girl but I have been towing with the idea of wearing mascara every now and again. Thanks for this awesome list Elle :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried these but L'Oréal have always been pretty amazing for my stubborn lashes. Hope you have a great memorial weekend

There are so many great drug store mascaras on here. Two of them are HG status for me. The Maybelline Lash Sensational and the Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black!
ReplyDeleteI'm in need of a new drugstore mascara! I've tried most of these, but never NYX Doll eye. Adding it to the shopping list! Thanks Elle!
ReplyDeleteOooh, dupe status achieved! I need to pick this up STAT!

Lash Sensational was horrible for me! It made my lashes fall out! It was enough for me to write a review for them and found many people had the same experience. This was the worst mascara I've ever used. :(
