It’s a Pain To Remove But this $9 Mascara Rocks

If you aren’t keen on spending $20+ for a mascara at the moment might I introduce you to my $9 discovery? I’ve been using this for about a year now. I can’t recall who but someone on Tiktok had recommended it last Summer and I immediately purchased it and ulta.com! Since that time I’ve repurchased it a few times and even grabbed the brown version.

It’s quickly become a staple mascara for me and I hate to say this, truly I do, but it’s replaced Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes for me. I’m a diehard Lights, Camera, Lashes girl but this stuff is way better!

That being said, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass to remove.

If you’re curious which mascara I’m talking about, it’s Colourpop Level Up Lengthening Mascara. Colourpop has an excellent line up of products as well all know but I don’t think I’d ever consider them for mascara. I dunno why but I get this vibe they’d sucked at mascara. For example, Pat Mcgrath makes damn fine eyeshadows, blushes, etc…but man, Mother sucks at mascara! FetishEYES Mascara is $34 and awful! Sometimes brands are like that. They excellent at one category of product but fail miserably at others. And I think I was under the impression that Colourpop is great at eyeshadow but would probably be really bad at mascara.

They proved me wrong! This stuff is brilliant. Over the years, my lashes aren’t as thicker or as long as they used to be. I get tons of length from this formula and does of volume! I wouldn’t say it curls but I’m just fine with fuller, longer lashes. The downfall would be it can be a pain to remove but on the upside it wears like a champion without smudging, smearing, or flaking through the entire day.

At $9 bucks it’s a total win! If you need an inexpensive mascara pick I’d highly recommend this one. Thank me later!

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I felt the same about Colourpop, I never ever thought to try their mascara. I am an Essence Lash Princess fan and at $5 the price is the best around. So I am sort of curious, but I don’t have really noticeable lashes unless I am wearing mascara, so I need volume and length

      I am too! Love me some Lash Princess! Great deal too! Someone was raving it and I was like ok, let me see how good this is. And I went expecting the worst but was surprised how good it was!
