Top 5 Series: Mascaras!

It's Wednesday so its TOP 5 time and this week's topic is mascaras! Like always I have included high end to high street. 
So first up we have ELF's lengthening and volumizing mascara. When I fist got this I was a little disappointed by the small tube but it exceeded my expectations because it lasts such a long time! When it says length and volume, you get length and volume due to the thicker shaped wand. Coming in at only £3.50 it is a perfect mascara for every day wear. 
This was the first NYC mascara I purchased because I loved the wand.It is slightly curved which gives you the most pretty curve to the lashes. I'm not sure whether this one comes in a waterproof version but for a non waterproof mascara it rarely runs, speaking as a girl with one eye that waters a lot, which I am very pleased with. I believe this mascara is around £3. 


Another NYC mascara, these are quickly becoming my favourite range. This one is the HD volume and comes with one of my favourite wands, the plastic-ish bristles. I feel like those type of bristles comb through the lashes to get rid of any clumps and separate the lashes. Volume? very much so! I will be repurchasing this very soon.
 The covergirl range seems to be huge in America and always has good reviews so I had to try it when I was out there last year. I picked up the lashblast volume, length and fusion and volume has got to be my favourite. It has my favourite type of bristles and with a couple of coats my lashes look so thick with lots of volume. Love this, I just wish it was available over here!


My only "high end" mascara on this post. I received this with my Christmas presents as a free sample and I am loving it. I can't wait to buy this in a full size. It gives my lashes serious length and volume with one swoop of the wand. I really don't want to use this every day because I don't want to use it up before I get the chance to purchase the full size. 




Only a few more Top 5 posts to go after this one! Hope you enjoyed it!
