Most makeup experts agree that women only ever need a touch of blush, lip color and mascara to look effortlessly pulled together on any given day. And while I also agree with this thinking, I’m on the fence about what classifies mascara as a “great”. There are some that argue drugstore brands are far superior, while others maintain that more dollars spent will grant you a better lash.

I’m on the fence with this debate and haven’t decided if there is one particular brand that’s better over the next. For now, however, I’m lusting big time over a newbie from skincare giant Kiehl’s. Their Marvelous Mineral Mascara is new to the brand, but already generating major buzz amongst beauty insiders for its incredible results. Made with pure mineral pigments and blended with thickening Acacia Senegal and hydrating jojoba oil, the formula glides on perfectly for all-day flutter. I tried it myself and was astounded by how naturally thick and long my eyelashes looked. 

I’m not sure I’ll ever crack the Great Mascara Debate, but a mascara that’s free of parabens and more natural than its peers works for me!
