Today’s question is: “Mascara: Save or Splurge? Why?”
Hi Darlings, so today’s post is going to be another: Mimi & Julia Ask.
Where we are going to ask you a beauty related question and we want to read your answers so make sure to leave a comment.
If you have a question for next week you are free to ask and I’ll make sure include it in another post and to give you credit for it.
Mascara: Save or Splurge? Why?
Mimi: Save, mostly. For 15 years I’ve only used affordable mascaras and I still stand behind that, you don’t need to splurge for a good mascara. My absolute top is the L’Oreal Bambi Eye False Lash Mascara (here the review).
That being said, if you have been around for a few months you’d know I’ve been obsessed with the YSL The Shock Volumizing Waterproof Mascara (here the review) which is insanely pricey. No mascara compares and I think I’ve found the one for me but you don’t need to spend if you don’t want to.
Julia: Save, Maybelline has some amazing ones (the Maybelline Colossal Go Extreme Mascara is my favourite), plus it’s not even convenient to splurge because they dry after a few months.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN: LEAVE US A COMMENT SO WE CAN START A CONVERSATION.

I have always loved Maybelline’s mascara- the one in the green and pink tube. It’s so perfect on the lashes AND budget. SAVE!
Mimi dice
That’s the OG mascara but I actually have never tried it ahahha
TheSuperMomLife dice
I don’t think I’ve ever splurged on mascara. I don’t really see the difference in results.
Mimi dice
Yeah the drugstore has so good options!
Amber dice
I haven’t worn mascara in years. I believe my daughter uses a L’Oreal one that she loves as well!
Mimi dice
L’Oréal mascaras are awesome!
Carissa Batts Godbott dice
Rimmel is my “steal” mascara, its really good in a pinch! But Maybelline will forever always be a good brand to use!
Mimi dice
I love Maybelline mascaras
Erica dice
Totally on the save side! There are so many good affordable mascaras out there. I love the L’Oreal Bambi Eye too, and the Maybelline Total Temptation as well.
Mimi dice
Agree!
Tisha dice
I have Youniques Epic mascara and I also love It Cosmetics Super Hero mascara. They are both kind of a splurge so I’m all about splurges for those lashes.
Mimi dice
I’ve tried Super Hero! It’s such a good one

My favourite mascara of all time is the Lancome Monsieur Big. I do think affordable mascaras can give a similar effect but what I love about it is that it still looks great even when it’s been open for months- sometimes mascaras dry up quick.
Mimi dice
Monsieur Big doesn’t look good on my lashes, like Better Than Sex. They look amazing on other people but not so much on me ?
The Newbury Girl dice
I used to be all about saving when it comes to mascara because Maybelline mascaras have always been sooooo good! But eventually I became more boujee with my fave mascaras lol! But I’m fairly lucky since I can almost always get most mascara to work with my lashes.
BUT My all-time favorites are the Milk Kush Mascara, Diorshow Iconic Overcurl, Lancôme Hypnose Drama, and Benefit badGal Bang! ?
Mimi dice
I like the dior one, don’t like the Lancôme one and never tried the other two! But I remember loving Lancôme Grandiose. Weirdest brush ever but maaaaan it was good?
With love, Caroline dice
Save as well for me! I think there are some very good mascaras that are pretty cheap so I don’t see the point in spending too much for it!
Mimi dice
Agree! Once the ysl runs out (and the backup I have runs out too ?) I’ll go back to affordable
Katja dice
Mostly save. I love Maybelline and Max Factor mascaras. I bought more expensive mascara like Tarte or Estee Lauder a couple of times, but I don’t see much difference. So why spend more? Besides that, many shops give you testers of high-end mascara with a purchase.
Mimi dice
Yeah I completely agree with you! Mini sizes are the best way to try mascaras too
