Here is Why I Like Using Sample Size Mascaras from Ipsy

目次

How do you decide which mascara to try next?

I think buying a new full size mascara is kind of hard. A mascara's texture, brush, and application cannot be tested like other makeup items.

Also, I don't really want to spend like $20-25 on something I might not like...
That's why I always ended up with a cheap drug store mascaras.

Of course, drugstore products do their jobs. If one drugstore mascara does not what I wanted I could just throw it away.
Anyway, mascara should be thrown away every 6 month at least for its quality and for safety.

Every time I see makeup tutorials online, I had always wanted to try some good brand mascaras that costs more than $20.

Cosmetic subscription box changed my mascara situation

I started subscribing Ipsy in summer 2016, and I have received 6 packages so far.
In those 6 packages, which means 30 samples, I got 3 mascara samples.
I realized that I like having sample sized mascaras.
Here are some of the reasons.

I can try the good ones that I had never tried.
It really helps me to consider whit mascara I will buy next.
I don't have to worry about wasting $25 on something I want to try.

I can finish all the mascaras while they are still good.
If you'd like to keep a couple different mascaras for makeup variation, I think having different sample size mascaras is a good option. You can finish all the bottles within a few weeks to a couple months.

These are the 3 mascara samples I got

I am talking about samples, but the pictures show the full size products.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Excessive Lash Arresting Volume Mascara

This mascara is very easy to apply and makes more natural look, which I like.
I really liked this one, but I feel like some of the drugstore mascaras can do the very similar work.

IT Cosmetics Superher Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara

I don't know why but it was little bit hard for me to apply this mascara at first.
It seemed to add too much volume, so I had take it use a clean brush to even it out.
After that, I learned how to apply more smoothly, so maybe it was just my problem.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

This is one of the mascaras I really wanted to try. One time I was about to buy this, but I didn't because I saw both good and bad reviews online. The applicator is pretty different from usual mascaras and I was not sure if I would be happy when I pay $23 for this mascara.
Luckily, I got to try this from Ipsy. I like it! So I am thinking about buying this item finally!
