Hello Internet Beauties!
Today I am putting four mascaras up against each other, two high street mascaras, and two high end mascaras (or at least what I consider high end!) to see which one will come out on top! Does more expensive always mean better results? Let's find out...!
The mascaras I'm trying today are:
- They're Real by Benefit (RRP £19.50)
- Better Than Sex by Too Faced (£19.00)
- Volume Million Lashes Excess by L'Oreal (RRP £9.99)
- Great Lash by Maybelline (RRP £4.99)
So, before reading any further, to make this fun, have a look at the pictures below which are in a random order. Without scrolling further, have a guess at which mascara I used in which picture!

Can you match each eye to the right mascara?! Once you have your choices, scroll down for the reveal! I have tried to apply the same amount of layers for each to give a fair comparison.
So, here's the reveal...
Mascara 1 is Better Than Sex by Too Faced - this definitely gives curl.
Mascara 2 is They're Real! by Benefit - this definitely adds length.
Mascara 3 is Great Lash by Maybelline - this is definitely a slightly more subtle/natural mascara, less length and definition between lashes.
Mascara 4 is Volume Million Lashes Excess by L'Oreal and definitely the winner for me! I was so surprised how similar this looked to the Benefit mascara, yet with even slightly more length! Also - it's half the price, which is crazy to me when they look so similar, so this is definitely the one to go for in my eyes!
Overall, I was SO shocked by how similar the mascaras all were, considering their various brands and price differences. From this Vs. Edition, I've concluded mascara definitely isn't something I'll be judging based on the price!
