Since I am getting married in the spring I have quite a few big events coming up. Engagement pictures, bridal showers and the actual wedding will all require special make up different from my day to day wear. Honestly probably 75% of the time I don’t wear any make up at all so it’s not an area I excel in (I will never be a beauty blogger).
About five years ago I got a wild hair and asked an actor friend to come over and help me learn how to do some things. She always looked so put together!
One of the items she brought over was a fairly expensive mascara (atleast for A Frugal Chick) with a scandalous name. I loved how long and full it made my lashes look. So in spite of my frugalness I decided to grab it from the store.
She told me to go to ULTA because they have a great rewards program and if I am going to buy it I should atleast get some credit. When I went to the store I was super disappointed to find it was out of stock. However the sales associate I asked about it said he had a cheaper product that he loved just as much. He grabbed this L’OREAL Lash Paradise Mascara. It is HALF the price and he swore it worked just as well!
It’s been five years and I never went back to buy the expensive mascara. The L’OREAL Lash Paradise Mascara has done everything I want it to. And let me tell you even the regular (i.e. not waterproof) holds up fantastic. Without eye make up remover it’s not coming off. And since I suspect there may be some tears on the wedding day this WILL be my mascara.
