Favorite Dupe Friday!

The eyes are usually the first thing that someone notices about you and of course you want them to make a statement! Wearing false eyelashes can become a burden and even sometimes damaging to your natural lashes, so mascara is a more popular go-to for many.

To find a mascara that works well and you are obsessed with is the key! You want to find a great mascara that adds volume, enhances the fullness of your lashes as well as thickening them. You do not want to have to overuse the mascara which will result in a spider effect or very bad clumping.

I have two favorite mascaras that I have been using and always recommend to anyone who asks. My first go-to is Better Than Sex which is made by Too Faced and the other is Perversion from Urban Decay! You can find either of them at just about any makeup store, probably more convenient to find at Ulta. The Better Than Sex mascara is priced at $23 and the Perversion mascara is priced at $22.  Both of these mascaras give a really great all day wear, which is important. With applying two or maybe even three coats, you can notice the dramatic difference.

It is important to know that mascara does have an expiration date, which is typically between 2 and 6 months so of course, not everyone is thrilled with spending that kind of money for that short period of time. Luckily, there are two really impressive dupes that you can find at your local drugstore!
In comparison to the Better Than Sex Mascara, Rimmel has a great dupe. Scandaleyes Retro Glam by Rimmel can easily be compared. Target sales it for under $4, which is great when saving almost $20.
Urban Decay’s Perversion can be compared to Maybelline’s Full & Soft mascara! Luckily, Target sells this dupe for $7 as well.

Remember that a great mascara will give that “false lash effect” and have everyone asking if your lashes are natural!

Growing up with an older sister, I wanted to be just like her. Just like every other younger sister in the world.  I wanted to dress like her, talk like her, have my hair just like hers and follow her everywhere that she went. I always wanted to play dress up in her closet and as we got older, she started wearing makeup so of course I wanted to follow right in her footsteps. Wanting to be just like my sister turned into me being obsessed with makeup.

I love to try new products that fall into the cosmetic category and review them by giving the pros and cons of them. I enjoy comparing the different brands and see what works best for my face. A few of my favorite high-end brands are Anastasia Beverly Hills, Smashbox and Tarte and I am a fan of the drugstore brands, Hard Candy and Maybelline!

My main focus is to advise young women with any common makeup tips. In addition to suggesting alternative products that may be easier on the pockets! I hope to entertain and educate individuals on the different brands of makeup and their purposes.

I would love to know all of your favorite brands and products!!
