Weekly Beauty Favorite: The Best Ever Mascara

keys_120816_0012a

I get a LOT of beauty questions about mascara. Which, to me, is very understandable. Who doesn’t want longer, thicker lashes? Coming from a girl who has majorly stubby, short, and sad lashes–I’ve been on the hunt for the best mascara for years and have never been truly satisfied. It was like I was mascara goldilocks and could never quite find the right balance of thickening and lengthening without being too heavy, too clumpy, too wet, or too flaky.

Until now.

The first time I remember Diorshow mascara coming into my life was at my friend Michal’s. (It’s pronounced Michelle. Looks like Michael.) I spotted it in her makeup bag years ago but didn’t think anything of it. (She has way prettier eyelashes than me.) I always thought it was a bit overpriced and expensive, so I continued to buy cheaper mascara and live with boring eyelashes.

I don’t know what came over me, but a month or so ago, I thought to myself, “I should really try Dior mascara.”  I didn’t expect miracles or anything, I just figured I’d give it a try.

So I bought it on a whim–I went with the Diorshow “Iconic Overcurl” formula and Oh. My. Goodness. It’s a magic-worker. The first mascara that actually makes me look like I have LONG eyelashes. See before and after photo below!

First, I curl my lashes, (more about that here) and then apply one coat of mascara to each eye, and repeat, for a total of two coats. It’s thickening, lengthening, and the best part, is that it doesn’t weigh down my lashes like other mascaras, so they actually hold their curl!

So, if you’re like me, and haven’t found the perfect mascara to bring your boring, short and sad eyelashes to life–order this right now! You won’t be sorry!

    Jess I kid you not I literally JUST purchased this mascara at Sephora after one of their artists used it on me! I agree..it’s amazing. Hoping it doesn’t dry out as quickly as the OG Diorshow though!
