Sephora's Atomic Volume Mascara

I have very thin, sparse eyelashes, so naturally I am obsessed with making them look bigger, fuller; better. And after years of research, trial and error, I have come to realize it is all about the wand. This week’s pick: Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, Sephora’s Atomic Volume Mascara Will do Wonders for You!, has a very cleverly designed mascara wand that creates pretty, natural looking lashes like Chanel Iman’s seen here. What makes this mascara wand so magical is that it combines two different types of bristles: Short and stubby on one side to add volume and fullness at the base (roots) of lashes, the other side is comb-like to add length, thickness, and separation. This is a great mascara because you get TWO DIFFERENT MASCARA FEATURES in ONE PRODUCT. I prefer Ultra Black, but it is offered in basic Black as well, and although the formula is not waterproof, it does last all day and doesn’t smudge. Yes, this mascara is….Atomic. Your lashes are beautiful, ohhhhhh ohhhhh tonight…;)

TIP: For best results, after you curl your lashes, apply to the base of the lashes (roots) using a wiggling motion (3-4 times to cover the lash area of one eye). Then sweep the mascara through all the lashes (about 3 times). Let the mascara dry for about 10 minutes, then curl lashes one final time.

Variety is the spice of life. This cliché is like the beauty world’s mantra, and is especially fitting for this week’s pick: Sephora’s The Lash Stash mascara sampler set. I was in Sephora just the other day, when I stumbled upon this product, and was so excited, I actually heard myself say out loud, “Oh my god!�

What I was oh my god-ing about is that reusable samples of these branded mascaras:

Benefit A Little Bit BADgal Lash in Black
Blinc Kiss Me Mascara in Black
LORAC Publicity Stunt Lashes in Black
Smashbox Bionic Mascara in Black
Stila Multi-Effect Mascara in Black
Sephora Brand Lash Plumper in Black
Too Faced Lash Injection in Black

have been non-existent up until now. In the past, you either just had to buy a tube of an unfamiliar brand of mascara and pray you would just absolutely love it, so your twenty something bucks didn’t go to waste, and/or you didn’t have to waste anytime going through the trouble of returning the damn thing.

This sampler set comes with 7 units of mascara in adorably small, sample sizes and is great for anybody, like myself, who likes the individual look of certain mascaras on different occasions, or is looking to test which mascara she likes best of these brands. I call it mascara dating. May the best wand win!

Every girl has that one item of makeup that they can’t leave home without. For me it’s most definitely mascara…without it I feel naked! Mascara has the ability to transform the look of your eyes instantly. A few strokes of that magic little wand and your eyes will look brighter and whiter!

Now that summer is in full swing and the sun is really shinning, give them purdy eyes of  yours a kick with my secret weapon: BLUE MASCARA.  Blue mascara makes the eyes appear larger and whitens the whites of the eyes compared to black or brown.   There are a variety of blue mascara’s in all shades (some come in purple too!) and prices out on the market from good old standby Maybelline Greatlash  (my personal favorite) at $6 a pop to Shu Umera’s Precise Volume at $23.

Go ahead girl, put on some blue mascara and bate them eyelashes! Peep my top picks after the jump…
