Beth's Current Top 5 Mascaras - Soph & Beth Beauty ♡

Mascaras are an essential to every makeup look and can either make or break the look. After testing out many mascaras I have decided to put together a top 5 list which will range from drugstore to high-end. 

(In no particular order) 
All of the mascaras mentioned in this post.

1. An all time favourite for me is the Maybelline "the Colossal Volum' Express" in Waterproof. Priced at £6.99 I haven't been able to find many faults with this product, it provides quite a lot of volume and 0 clumps!! I really like the wand of this product and find that with only a few coats you can notice a real difference. My only fault with this product is that it is very hard to get off, even when using eye makeup remover, so a good recommendation if you need a product that helps you get waterproof eye makeup off is the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. 
If you do decide to purchase this product I recommend getting it from Boots because they very often have deals on with Maybelline.


2. A higher-end mascara which I have loved for a very long time is the Benefit "They're Real". This award winning mascara costs £19.50 and is worth every penny! You can get these in black, brown and blue but as I'm not that adventurous I prefer to stick to the classic black. This has a perfect applicator and I find it really easy to apply. My one downfall with this product is that if you apply too much of the product it can become quite clumpy and make your eyelashes stick together.  


3. Another drugstore mascara that I have been loving for a while is the Rimmel "Extra 3D Lash". This is only £4.99 and I purchased it after seeing it mentioned in one of Sophie Clough's YouTube videos. This mascara is perfect for your lower lashes and for a base layer of mascara, I wouldn't say it provides lots of volume but it definitely helps define your lashes. The wand is a little bit smaller than Benefits "They're Real" but I find this helps because you can be more precise. 


4. Another high-end mascara I recommend is the Urban Decay "Perversion" which costs £17.50. This mascara has beautiful striking packaging as you would expect with any Urban Decay product. The wand of this mascara is thicker than any of the others mentioned in this post but it is quite short so you can be precise with it. However, because the wand is quite thick it holds a lot of product meaning you don't need to do many coats so you get the full use out of the product. 


5.  The final mascara is another drugstore product and its the Technic "Lashitude" mascara. Depending on where you purchase this from depends on how much you pay, the cheapest I found it for online was £1.65. I was kindly sent this mascara a very long time ago to review on my Instagram and since then it has definitely grown on me. As you can expect from the price its not the highest of quality but its perfect for school or a subtle look. The brush is very similar to the Benefit one but you can tell from looking at them side by side that there is a quality difference. 

This is what all of the applicators look like... 



These are just a few of my favourites and I'm sure as time goes on I will find more and ones to replace these so lookout for a future post with an updated list ;)
