From Sample to Full Size #1

I have had this series in mind for quiet some time. I try A LOT of samples from Ipsy, Walmart Beauty Boxes, Target Beauty Boxes, samples with purchases, etc. but I am hardly ever wowed by a product so much that I actually want to pick up the full size. So when it does happen it must mean I really enjoyed the product and I thought this would be a fun way to share that with you.

So up first is the tarte lights, camera, lashes mascara. I have seen this all over and was getting really good reviews, but as we all know mascara really is a personal preference type of product. I was so excited when this came in one of my ipsy bags. Obviously it did not fail to impress. 

This mascara is everything that I could want in a mascara. It gives me volume and length. Best of all, in my opinion, there is absolutely no flaking or smudging under the eyes... even after a nap! I love it! There is nothing worse to me than having to worry about getting panda eyes all day. So annoying.

This formula is more on the dry side so I also don't find it very messy in terms of smudging easily onto my upper lid. The wand is more of a traditional brush and not a plastic wand, again my preferred type. It is just the right size and allows you to apply product to your top lashes without taking a lot of time by being to small but at the same time it is small enough to apply to your bottom lashes with ease as well. 

I used up two samples and then purchased the full size. Currently I am trying out the lights, camera, lashes bottom lash mascara I'll keep you updated on that. :)
