I absolutely adore Cargo TexasLash Mascara. It has an over-sized brush that gives my lashes the volume that they need. However at $20 a tube, it is not the most economical choice in mascara. Plus, my closest Sephora is a little over an hour away.
This weekend I found a more economical replacement for my favorite mascara-Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara. This mascara retails for around $8, but there is also a $3 off Neutrogena Make-up coupon floating around that will take the price down to around $5. I have read mixed reviews about this mascara, but personally I love it!
The positives: It makes my lashes look longer and fuller. It conditions my lashes. It doesn't smudge or flake.
The negatives: It does not make my lashes look 400% fuller as promised, but I am satisfied with the results. It does not come off with just soap and water-I have to use eye make-up remover.
The next time I am near a Sephora, I will probably pick up my favorite Cargo TexasLash Mascara, but until then I am completely satisfied with Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara.

I love your favorite things posts!=)
i might have to try this out!! always looking for bargain cosmetics:)
You do have wonderful taste. I like to check out your blog and see what's hot! Thank you!
I am going to have to try out that mascara! I've never even heard of it, and I still can't find Coconut M&M's, and I'm upset about it! :(
I made my first Sephora trip last week...we have on in Augusta now...oh my! It was an amazing experience and I hardly even wear make up! :)
Have you tried maybelline colossal volume express mascara? It is the one in the yellow tube and I have not found anything better even at sephora and it is a bargain!
I need some of that mascara, my eyelashes are so lame, they never want to look full no matter how much I kill them with mascara!
I'm going to try that mascara!
Ooooh, I'm going to try this!
I have a sample of Bad Gal mascara - not sure which brand it is, but I like that one. I think it is a Sephora/Ulta buy though. You could always go online & if you're a member of a frequent traveler (flyer, hotel, etc) program, they usually have deals where you can order from stores & earn points for each $ you spend.
I may have to try this! I can't bear to spend $20 on mascara but, heck, if it works, it works!
How did you know I was desperate for new mascara?! I love trying new makeup....btw, come over soon and I'll help you out with your foundation brush!
