Best at the drugstore for under $5

Coming in at under five dollars, this mascara truly performs like a more expensive mascara! It has a drier formula, providing great seperation and length as you build. The wand has rubber bristles which I prefer! The pigmentation is quite black and it holds a curl quite well. My only gripe is on very hot days I find a small bit of smudging on my lower lash line by the end of the day. It isn't severe and it wiped away easily but it is something to note. It does not flake or transfer to the upper lid, though! Definitely recommend this one, it is worth trying!!

Still unsure about this one

My lashes are horribly straight, and don't tend to stay curled when I use a straightener, so I picked this up today with a friend. It says it contains wax, which would help hold the curl, so I had high expectations. Not sure if it's because of the wax, but I found the product to be EXTREMELY thick on the wand, enough that I had to scrape a lot of it off on the side of the bottle. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to hold the curl that the curler gave my lases prior to applying the mascara, and I had to tone down the clumpiness with a clean mascara wand, but after waiting for it to dry and then curling again, they did seem to hold the curl a little better. Not sure if this mascara lives up to what it claims, but for $5, it is worth a shot! Might work better on people who have naturally curlier lashes.
