ranking mascaras i’ve tried

Essence Lash Princess Mascara False Lash

Lash Princess Mascara Essence

anemone rated 0/10 – transfers to my under eyes pretty much immediately :( too bad, wanted to love this because of the price and the fact that it looks GREAT on other people!
Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara Black

Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara Rare Beauty

anemone rated 9.5/10 – not really the most volumizing or lengthening mascara i’ve tried, but excellent nonetheless. not waterproof but barely transfers, even after sleeping (or crying lol)
Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-In-1 Mascara Black

Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-In-1 Mascara Tarte

9.5/10 – another great option. haven’t tried the waterproof version but this one barely transfers. it lengthens and volumizes very well with little clumping.
Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Black

Perversion Mascara Urban Decay

anemone rated 10/10 – excellent, no complaints. holds well and barely transfers despite not being the waterproof version. love the name too, lol.
L'Oreal Voluminous Volume Building Waterproof Mascara Black

Voluminous Volume Building Waterproof Mascara L'Oreal

1/10 – barely made a difference. when i got it, it acted like it was a mascara i had left open for too long that dried out. but at least it didn’t transfer, i guess.
Rimmel London ScandalEyes Retro Glam Waterproof Mascara

ScandalEyes Retro Glam Waterproof Mascara Rimmel London

anemone rated 0/10 – disappointing because i’ve really liked the rimmel products i’ve tried, and i especially love their price points. however, this was just as bad as the essence mascara (maybe even worse since it’s meant to be waterproof…)
