People legitimately think I am wearing falsies — that’s how good this mascara is at its job.

As a Senior Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed, I specialize in a broad range of topics, including beauty, cleaning, fashion, personal care, home, fitness, and my beloved “TikTok made me buy it.” My work has been featured across lifestyle and writing publications during my ten years in the digital media space, including Bustle, HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and The Washington Post.

Behold my lashes in their near nonexistent glory! 

It doesn't help that I am also a chronic laugher, and my eyes tear up a TON. I am Smudge City, USA by the end of most days. 

I have people ask me all the time if I'm wearing falsies because of how absurdly this mascara lengthens my lashes. I'm like, no, I'm too scared to figure out how to do that without crying after that one Halloween I got glue in my eye, but thank you!!!!! 

I walk around all day with my lashes like bonk, bonk, bonk against the lenses. 

And that's after a full day of work, taking care of a feral 6-month-old who just learned he could roll anywhere he pleases, and walking around in some EXTREME humidity several times.

"I’ve been using this mascara for the last, I would say, almost three years now, and it has been an absolute game changer. I’ve never been a fan of smearing/smudging makeup, and this doesn't do either. Tubes are amazing, my eyelashes have never been thicker and longer. It’s able to stay on for more than 24 hours, doesn’t irritate my eyes whatsoever and gives me a nice fleek look to my eyelashes." —Kyle Mathias

"THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST MASCARA ON THE MARKET! It is tubing, so it’s super easy to put on, but it also doesn’t flake and can last for over 24 hours. Helps hold my lash curl." —jessica

As someone who started using mascara in the early 2000s, when we basically had to SCRAPE IT OFF OUR EYEBALLS, I appreciate an easy removal!! I also have a human baby now, so it's nice to be able to take off my makeup quickly at the end of the day and enjoy the two hours of sleep I might get that night. 

I wish I could say the same for the postpartum hair on my head, but thaaat's an issue for another post.

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
