This Cheap Volumizing Mascara Will Have Everyone Asking If Your Lashes Are Real

This is very likely the last mascara you'll ever want to purchase. Oh, and don't worry. You can find a way to thank me later (some thoughts and prayers will suffice).

Things I want: real estate, several dogs, and a mascara that doesn't suck.

With so many mascaras on the market, it's hard to find one that is truly perfect. Just a nice and simple formula that doesn't smudge, flake, or clump, but instead provides the perfect amount of volume and length to make my tired peepers look more awake.

Life! It's so hard...

until now.

NOW. If you're tired of your mascara smudging, clumping, or just plain sucking (#rude), then it's time to acquaint yourself with bigger and better things: introducing the Vivienne Sabó volumizing mascara.

This clump-free, smudge-proof formula is here to upgrade your lash game with only a swipe. One coat gives you the whole "your lashes but better" look, but two coats? Everyone will just assume you're wearing falsies. It's that good.

It works to really lengthen and thicken each individual lash without awkwardly clumping them all together to make a sticky, stuck together mess that looks like a tub of black tar.

It's also super affordable (only $11.41) and won't flake or smudge into that dreadful panda eye effect. And while this formula may not be waterproof, it can still withstand the test of time, sweat, and tears while remaining easy peasy to remove at the end of the day.

Waterproof mascara is lovely in theory because it truly stays in place all day long, but so much scrubbing is required to remove it at the end of the day. And vigorous scrubbing of your lashes = your lashes beginning to, well, fall off/become super sparse and thin/your future self will hate your current self for using it.

I mean, really. WOULD YOU JUST 👏 LOOK 👏 AT 👏 THESE 👏 RESULTS 👏.

And you don't have to take my (written) word for it. Just browse through the tons and tons of reviewers that swear up and down about this ~holy grail~ mascara:

"I absolutely LOVE this mascara. I have very sensitive eyes and holy moly, I'm in love. I've found my new favorite mascara! It makes my lashes look longer and it looks the same all day long. Plus, it doesn't smudge during the day. It's wonderful and a total must-buy!" —Katherine Ochsman

"I never write reviews for things, but this mascara was just so great that I felt like I had to! I love lashes, and my friends are used to me wearing thick coats of mascara at all times. Despite this, I got complimented on my lashes basically every time I wore this mascara this week. Multiple people even asked if I had extensions on! This mascara isn't clumpy at all, and makes your lashes super long and defined without sticking them together. I've never had any problems with flaking and although it isn't waterproof, I've definitely used eyedrops, shed a tear, and gotten stuck in rain without it smudging or running down my face. All in all this is my new holy grail mascara, and I'm thrilled!!" —Sophie Johnson

"I’m so in love with this mascara! I’ve spent far too much on expensive mascara brands in the past and they would be clumpy, too thick, too thin, seem to dry up in a couple of weeks, smudge under my eyes, and the list goes on. I’ve been using this one for a month now with zero clumps, it never gets under my eyes (even when I'm super sweaty), goes on extremely smooth and easy, and the tube still seems like new after a month of use! So excited that I discovered this!" —Casi

Ready to try it for yourself? Get it from Amazon for $11.40.
