Welcome to the final installment of Mascara Madness, 5 days of mascara reviews in my quest to find the perfect one. In my scientific pursuit of mascara excellence, I used Lancome Powerbooster Primer under all mascaras tested, used my Sheisido lash curler and applied two coats of each mascara.
Day 5 of Mascara Madness has us taking a look at the new Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara (again, what’s with the loooong names?). I’ve never tried Laura Mercier mascaras but that damn QVC cast its spell on me and when I saw the differrence in the models lashes, I was sold. Granted, it doesn’t take much–for me QVC stands for the Quintessential Vulnerable Customer. I got two tubes for $41–the regular retail is $24/each. Beauties, Imma like this mascara! It’s just so effortless; it glides on easily, makes lashes feel soft and pliable and gives awesome length and volume in one coat! Full Blown provides volume, length, is long wearing, has good pigment and won’t break the bank!
The brush somewhat echos the look of the tube–tapered at each end and wide in the middle. This allows you to get into the corners without getting any on the lids.
Look at this length! ’Nuff said.
There may be a little bit of smudging under lower lashes on this pic–not the fault of the mascara, but of me messing up my eyeliner–Doh!
Mascara Madness Recap:
Day 1 – Lancome Precious Cells
Day 2- MAC Opulash
Day 3- Korres Abysinia
Day 4- Dior Extase
Since I have an addiction to QVC and mascara, I succumbed to the offer from QVC and one lucky Prime Beauty reader will win a brand spankin’ new tube of Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara to try for yourself! To enter just leave a comment to this post telling me your favorite mascara and why you like it!

I have been using Mally Roncal’s “Volumizing Mascara” and I like it quite a lot (I’m a huge flake…no, I mean flaker, eye waterer, perspirer…you get the point, so usually I need a waterproof mascara, but so far, so good!).

My current fav is LashBlash as it doesn’t clump and makes my lashes seem thicker.
I love Armani Eyes To Kill Waterproof Mascara. I love dramatic lashes and only one coat of this makes mine pop. Two coats are amazing.
I have been digging Cover Girl’s Volume Exact. It gives great volume and length for a great price.

I absolutely adore Lancome’s Definiciles. It gives gorgeous length and makes my lashes long, black, and super inky. J’adore!
I never thought I would choose a drug store mascara, but I love Cover Girl Lash Blast! Â The wand makes all the difference in the world! Â

My favorite mascara is Blinc and I like it because I NEVER get raccoon eyes and it comes off easily in the shower. Cynthia.Richardson@azbar.org
