Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Sephora didn’t have my usual mascara so I was recommended this.
It clumps in a really artificial way that I hate. Glad I finished it so I can go back to what I’ve been using.

An HG mascara that is affordable and a staple.
It doesn’t clump the lashes. The wand works well for application. No complaints. Thank you Maybelline.
This is probably the best mascara I've ever had, and it's very cheap. It makes lashes look longer but not in an exaggerated way. The formula is a bit wet, so it can be a bit messy
