mascara hunt update!

so, as i mentioned last week in this post, my $28 tube of mascara habit train had to be derailed. it's not that we can't afford a $30 purchase, per se, but i know that money can be better spent or saved and it just isn't seeming practical these days. so, with that said... i feel like i'm making strides in the right direction! i haven't completely lost my love for my precious lancome, but i'm workin on it!

the mascara i've been using for the past several days is the maybelline 'colossal'.

i am not completely on board with it yet, but part of that is probably because it's just different. i guess i was a sucker for the 'wetness' of my lancome hypnose drama and the sleek curved handle was easy to hold and maneuver. if you're thinking i'm sounding a little crazy, i'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're feeling that way because you've never found a seriously amazing mascara!!!! haha

anyways, the colossal is doing the job alright these days, but several of my friends strongly suggested i pick up the l'oreal voluminous volume. once i'm done with or over the colossal, i definitely plan to give the l'oreal a try!

so, i have to ask... am i the only one that has a makeup product that is pretty expensive and needing to make the switch to drug store brand?? would love to hear what other drug store brand products are as good/better as the dept store ones!!
