BRAND NEW!! Tarte Cosmetics Lights, Camera, Flashes Mascara

You guys know I love a good mascara and I just recently blogged about some of my favorites. Tarte's Lights, Camera LASHES was among one of those favorites. Well, last week on QVC's Friday Night of Beauty, Tarte pre-released their newest mascara, Lights, Camera, FLASHES; a NEW mascara that makes HUGE promises: "lengthens, curls & magnifies lashes for an intensified look - proven to increase lash volume by 752%!"

Yes, they said 752%! Based on my experience, that's quite an overstatement. HOWEVER, it dries and wears like a waterproof mascara (kind of hard and stiff), so it DOES last all day. I'm not sure about the volume difference though. Its a great mascara in the sense that it lengthens, is clump free, and I guess adds some volume. But it is not all it claims. If you just want to try a NEW product, I'd say go for it. If you're looking for it to perform all the promises it CLAIMS....don't bother. 

Overall, it's a good mascara, but the original, Lights, Camera, Lashes performs just as well.

Final Grade: A-/B+

Favorite Mascaras

I am ALWAYS on the hunt for the next best mascara. My lashes on their own are nothing impressive. But, with a great mascara, my eyelashes look full, long, curled and make my eyes look amazing. So which ones do I recommend?

1. Maybelline: Great Lash (pink and green tube) This mascara is an oldie but a goody! This mascara is super affordable (about $7 at all major retailers). It has great color payoff, a nifty brush that really coats each and every lash, and clump fee.

2. Tarte: Lights, Camera, Lashes: I mentioned this product in last my haul post and I am in love with this! It lengthens my lashes, curls them, provides a deep black color, and lasts ALL DAY! ($19 @ Sephora)

3. Maybelline: Lash Stiletto: This mascara comes with a great brush that truly grabs and holds  on to your lashes and adds pretty good length. Can be flaky, but a good product for the most part. (About $7 at all major retailers)

4. Covergirl Lash Blast: Love, love, love this mascara! Comes with a huge brush that adds VOLUME AND LENGTH, and intense color. HOWEVER, unfortunately I have found that my contacts do not respond well to this mascara. They get a strange film on them. Weird, I know. But totally worth trying. Seriously. Love this product! ($8-$9 at all major retailers)

Have you tried any of these? What are your favorite mascaras?
