Sephora Favorites LashStash To Go Review
The box these mascaras come in opens up to give you more details on each mascara.
Also included in the box is this voucher to use to redeem for a full-size mascara out of the five you try. This can only be redeemed in person at a Sephora store.
Bobbi Brown Eye-Opening Mascara in black, .17 oz - Estimated Value $12.14 (buy the full-sized version for $30)
I consider my lashes to be naturally pretty long, so what I look for in a mascara is volume and curl without clumps. This mascara checks those boxes perfectly, and I love the carbon-black color that really makes my eyes pop.
Here is one eye done with a coat of the Bobbi Brown mascara, and one naked eye.
Here is what the mascara looks likes on both eyes (Psst- All of the lip colors I’m wearing in the finished looks are from the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip Kit, and you can check out my review here).
IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara in Super Black, .17 oz - Estimated Value $13.60 (buy the full-sized version for $24)
I don't have much experience with IT cosmetics outside of their moisturizers, so I didn't really expect much from this mascara. I was pleasantly surprised, however, after I applied it. I felt like it really enhanced my natural length while providing good curl, and it was comfortable to wear. No clumping issues with this one, either.
Here is the one eye comparison.
And here is the finished look.
Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara Big Volume All Day Wear in 01 Big Is The New Black, .06 oz - Estimated Value $4.55 (buy the full-sized version for $25)
This is a relatively new release from Lancome, and it is one I haven't tried yet. This really gave me that volume I crave from a mascara, but I did have to be a bit more careful to avoid clumping. Overall, this is a winner. I am not surprised, however, because I love almost all of the mascaras Lancome offers.
Here is the one eye comparison.
And here is the finished look.
Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara in black, .13 oz - Estimated Value $11.07 (buy the full-sized version for $23)
Better Than Sex is one of the most well-known mascaras in the beauty world. It has a cult following, and for a good reason! The hourglass-shaped brush really helps with curl and volume, and this waterproof formula means I can look fab at a pool party without worrying about becoming a raccoon. I would recommend using a strong makeup remover, however, so you're not tugging at your lashes for five minutes—I used this one and had no issues.
Here is the one eye comparison.
And here is the finished look.
Urban Decay Troublemaker Mascara in black, .08 oz - Estimated Value $8.80 (Buy the full-sized version for $24).
I am going to admit my disappointment that this sample mascara didn't come in the awesome rainbow chrome packaging that the full-size does. If I was going to be buying a mascara purely on packaging, this would be the clear winner. The brush on this really gave me that fanned-out look that opens my eyes, but I wish it gave me a little more volume.
Here is the one eye comparison.
And here is the finished look.
Now that you have seen all five mascaras, which one is your favorite? I haven't redeemed my voucher yet, and I am going to wait to see the fan favorite before I do so. Vote below and let me know!
The Verdict: If you wear mascara I don't think you can go wrong with buying this LashStash To Go Kit. I had fun trying the different formulas with their intended brushes (it’s not the same when you're trying a mascara with the generic disposable mascara wand). There were actually a couple of mascaras I would be happy owning the full-size version, so I am excited to see which mascara you guys think I should get! Value-wise, Sephora promises a value of $52 and I calculated an estimated value of $50.16, not including whatever full-size mascara I will get.
