It's a make up essential I can't live without, and it's something that I think can transform your make up look in seconds. My eyes don't look the same without it, my collection is quite extensive, and I've picked out my favourite five mascaras to tell you about in today's post!

THE BENEFIT ROLLER LASH MASCARA
_____________________________________________________________________________________
I'll start with the most recent addition to my collection. When Elle released exclusive samples with the February addition of the magazine I went straight to pick it up. After only a couple of uses I was hooked on Benefit's new curling mascara and did a first impressions post on it straight away. For me the mascara brush is my favourite out of all the products I have. It has a curled shape to it and gives a really strong curl to my top lashes that sets in place and stays all day - without the need for lash curlers. There isn't any fall down, and the product doesn't rub onto my eyelids, or under my eyes....because panda eyes are never a good look! It's water resistant, but easy to remove with make up remover. A winner!
Price: £19.50

THE SEVENTEEN MAXIMUM VOLUME BROWN/BLACK MASCARA
_____________________________________________________________________________________
I feel like everyone should own a brown mascara - it just gives an really soft, natural look and for someone who is pale like myself, it just emphasises the eyelashes but doesn't make them stand out too much (for those no make up make up days!). It doesn't clog up on the lashes, but makes them appear fuller. This is my favourite brown mascara.
Price: £4.69

THE SOAP AND GLORY SUPER VOLUME THICK AND FAST MASCARA
_____________________________________________________________________________________
This mascara is all about the wand. It's the longest of all that are in my collection, and covers most of my lashes in one swoop! The bristles on the brush are quite harsh, and transfer a lot of product to the lashes, making them appear thicker at the roots, and volumised through to the tips. This looks excellent if I'm going for heavy eye make up as it really opens up the eye and creates a dramatic look - who doesn't want drama with a smoky eye?!
Price: £10.00
Available from: Boots

THE NO.7 LOVELY LASHES MASCARA
_____________________________________________________________________________________
This does what it says on the tin, and really does give lovely lashes. They are very natural and very soft. The product is quite ''wet'' - strange way to describe a fluid product, but it's the best way I can. It coats the lashes very thin and evenly. It is very buildable, and is good for both an everyday look, as well as a more glamorous look. I have the sample size which is perfect for my handbag!
Price: £10.00

THE CLINIQUE HIGH IMPACT MASCARA
_____________________________________________________________________________________
The bristles on this brush are very tightly packed together, and this does create a high impact. It gives great separation and definition, and I prefer to use it on my bottom lashes to create an even defined appearance. The brush size of this product is very standard, and much larger in comparison to the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara wand, and even though I don't own that product, if that were to be the only difference between the two, I would still continue to apply this product to my bottom lashes. I find the there is minimal, if none at all, transfer onto the under eye skin, and all the lashes are covered.
Price: £17.50
Available from: All Clinique Stockists (including Boots, Clinique online and House of Fraser)
