I recently bought this LashStash Mascara Deluxe Sampler from Sephora.  At 40 bucks, its an awesome deal that I just couldn’t pass up.  I have the hardest time finding mascaras that work for me because I have oily eyelids so most of them smudge except for the waterproof ones but I try to stay away from those.  You’ll see reviews for most of these mascaras as I try them out…although we all know I am a total fan of BadGal lash so I won’t bother doing a review for that one!!

The first mascara I tried today was Laura Mercier’s Full Blown Volume Mascara.  I had high hopes for this one because I have heard great things about the Laura Mercier line, although I have never used it.

I liked the way the mascara went on, not too clumpy but not too natural either.  I wouldn’t say my lashes were near “full blown volume” so that was a let down.  It lasted from 8am until about 11am when I looked in the mirror and had smudges of mascara under my eyes.  I even primed my eyelids this morning!  So this mascara is a big FAIL.  Thumbs down (both of them!)
