]]> Have we mentioned how much we love a good dupe? If not, let us say it again—we love a good dupe! Forget spending hundreds of dollars on those high-end products when these do the job just as well. 

Hair Care

Summer means a lot more time spent in the pool. Sadly, chlorine can have a nasty effect on your hair as it alters the pH levels which leads to frizz and breakage. A citric-acid-infused treatment like Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector can help, but it comes with a price tag of $30. Instead, L’Oréal Paris EverPure Bond Strengthening Concentrate works just as well for around $10. 

Primer

Yes, we love summer heat; but our makeup, not so much. High temperatures can leave your face looking greasy, which is just not the look we’re going for. The best thing to use is a mattifying primer, but not everyone has $35 to spend on Tarte Clean Slate Blur Balm. Luckily, e.l.f. Cosmetics Matte Putty Primer is just under $9.

Mascara

Humidity and mascara are not friends. The moisture in the air can make mascara smudge, leaving black marks around your eyes. Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara has won awards, but costs $32. For $5, you can keep the smudges at bay with Essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes! Mascara.

]]> There’s nothing that will ruin a perfect makeup look like clumpy mascara. It happens to everyone, you’re trying to make your eyelashes look a little bit longer or thicker, so you think, “Just one more coat of mascara can’t hurt”. But when you add that extra layer, it definitely didn’t help–in fact, it just got a whole lot worse. Your mascara clumped!

Now that it’s clumped, you’re probably freaking out, so you run your mascara wand through again, trying to remove the clump, but then it just clumps even worse. Essentially you just go down a spiral of making it worse when you were just trying to make it better. You might even consider washing it all off and starting over. 

Thankfully, there’s a better way! The problem with clumpy mascara is that we often try to fix it with a wand that has more product, which is why it always gets worse. So, here’s the hack: wash an old mascara wand so that it’s completely free of product and leave it to dry. Once it’s dry, you have a wand to use after you put on your mascara, but this one is only for separating the lashes! Next time you get a clump, put down the real mascara wand and take out this clean one to fix it.

]]> When it comes to mascaras, we are practically specialists. The search for the ultimate curl, length, volume, and thickness is something we have pursued and our experience has not gone to waste. 

It is rare that one tube of the product can offer all that, but we have found one that will have people asking if those lashes are real!

Appropriately named Lash Princess False Lash Effect, this Essence mascara will set you back only $5. For that price, you can buy two! Although it’s on the cheaper side, the product works even better than some high-end formulas. 

The reason that the black and green tube works as we’ll as it does is down to the brush. The spoolie is conically shaped which helps in separating each lash to give that false lash effect without all the glue and hassle. 

But don’t take our word for it. Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara has over 224,000 5-star reviews on Amazon! 

“I usually spend $30 on my mascara from Sephora and it doesn’t nearly have this much volume or definition,” read one review.

“You know living your day-to-day life without this mascara is a struggle,” wrote another reviewer who called it the best mascara in the whole entire world. 

Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara is vegan, unscented, promises not to clump, and lasts all day without flaking. What more could your lashes ask for?

]]> Hours can be spent on debating which is the best mascara. Some claim to lengthen, others offer curl, and, of course, we’re all here for an all-in-one volumizer! But a new element has been added to the equation: which color is best?

For years, black has dominated in the color palette when it comes to lashes. Those who are bold enough may have tried more striking hues like purple and blue, but for most of us, basic black is best. Brown, however, has put its name in the ring and is currently having a moment. 

Brown mascara is changing the game on social media where millions are experimenting with the softer shade. So, which should you choose?

Work with Your Natural Tones

The whole point of mascara is to define your lashes and make your eyes pop. If your natural hair color is dark, stick to black—but if you are more fair, brown could work nicely. A warm brown will also bring out blue and green eyes as the shades are on opposite ends of the color wheel.  

Evaluate the Occasion

No matter how many coats you apply, brown mascara is never going to provide as dramatic an effect as its black counterpart. If you prefer a softer, daytime look, brown will give you that; but if you are hoping to slay with a smoky eye, definitely opt for black. 

Mix and Match

You could always use mascara on the top lashes for a fuller, more-defined look, while applying brown to the bottom for some definition that doesn’t appear too heavy. Who says you can’t have the best of both worlds?
