Current mascara stash

Here is what is currently in my mascara rotation, and some thoughts about each.

Diorshow Iconic:  This one is really disappointing, especially for $28 a tube!  It's supposed to be a curling mascara, but it doesn't do much of anything.  The brush is great, but the formula is weak.  I've started using this mascara as a base for layering mascaras--I add something volumizing on the top of this. 

Would I purchase again?  No!

Rimmel The Max Bold Curves:  This mascara is pretty disappointing so far--it's clumpy and doesn't curl very much, which is the big claim with this mascara.  I've started using this as a top coat when I use Diorshow Iconic.

Would I purchase again?  No!

Cover Girl Lash Perfection:  This is a reboot of the Max Factor Lash Perfection Volume Couture...but I never tried that before Max Factor was pulled out of the US market, so I can't tell you how it stacks up.  I like it so far, it's pretty similar to Cover Girl Volume Exact, but a bit easier to work with.

Would I purchase again?  Yes

Maybelline Volum' Express One by One:  I love this one so far, but I've only used it a few times.  Lots of length with decent volume.  Unfortunately, it has the "roses on crack" smell that Maybelline/L'Oreal has been putting into their new mascaras (like Lash Stiletto and Volum' Express Colossal.)  I really like this one, but we'll see how I feel about in in a couple of months--sometimes I change my mind over time.

Would I purchase again?  Yes

L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes:  This one reminds me a bit of L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen (the shape of the tube, mostly), but it has a plastic brush and has the horrible "roses on crack" smell, just like the One by One mentioned above.  However, I still like this one--I didn't love it at first, but it grew on me.

Would I purchase again?  Yes

L'Oreal Telescopic Clean Definition:  I bought this mascara because a beauty guru on YouTube raves about it...it's not bad, but it's mostly a lengthening mascara and I prefer volumizing mascaras.  It provides a more natural look.

Would I purchase again?  Yes

NYX Doll Eye Volume:  The formula is very dry--it almost feels like there's no product in the tube!  However, the dry formula makes it very buildable.  The brush is an interesting shape, it's almost like a barbell...not sure if that helps with application, but it's cute?  I don't know if this is worth $9.
Would I purchase again?  Yes
