I love rating mascaras because they all promise the same thing, but they definitely don’t perform the same 😅 Some are amazing at lengthening but don’t really give volume, while others make my lashes look super full but can get clumpy if I’m not care...
If you're a student looking for a budget-friendly mascara or a beginner in makeup, this one is for you! It gives your lashes a bit of length and volume without looking like spider legs, and the little silicone wand helps coat even the tiny lashes. ✨

Pinkflash Mascara | 9/10 ✨
it does deliver on the basics you’d expect for a cheap waterproof mascara: it’s supposed to give you volume, a bit of curl, and stay put through sweat/rain without smudging. 🌸
Some people actually like how it holds up and say it stays on all day 💪...
Sace Lady Mascara | 8/10 ✨
This one is DEFINITELY the best for my lashes! 🙇♀️
What I liked about it (and what others mention a lot):
• It does make lashes look longer and a bit fuller without looking crazy clumpy — you can tell it’s doing something. 
• The formula feels...
ZeeSea Mascara | 10/10 ✨
Great for everyday “longer & lifted” lashes without looking too intense. Nice hold and no smudging for the price, but don’t expect high-end drama or super easy removal. 😅

• It really does hold up well throughout the day and does feel wat...
JMCY Mascara | 9/10 ✨
💅 Cult classic with lush volume and fluttery length — great if you want that “full lash” look without clumps.
L'Oreal Extensionist Mascara | 10/10 ✨
For a drugstore mascara at this price, it’s really good 🌟 — especially if you want length and definition that still looks natural. I’d say it’s a solid 9/10 for everyday wear, but if you want mega volume OR dramatic, false-lash intensity, you might ...
Sky High Mascara | 9/10 ✨
If you’re into mascara that feels nourishing and gentle, and prefer a formula that tries to be healthy for lashes (some people DO notice softer, more defined lashes over time), this is a nice everyday option 🌟. It’s not super dramatic like high-end ...
