Sephora: .61 oz. for $20
I don't know what it is with me always beginning with my first impressions of products I'm reviewing, but once I again I'm going to tell you how I first encountered this product. As you may know, I live in South Dakota and we don't have a Sephora here, so I have to rely on friend's trips to cities that have the stores, or ordering online to get my Sephora products fix. One of my friends took a trip to California and visited a Sephora while she was there. She asked if I wanted her to bring me anything back, and I told her that I'd love to try one of Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliners. She responded with "I think maybe you need the big fatty mascara too..." and I replied "Are you implying something here!?" ;-P All in good fun, mind you.
But let's get back on topic! Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara is seriously amazing. I am a huge mascara buff - I love love love trying out new mascaras, especially the cheap drugstore kinds. So how did I end up falling in love with this guy, you may ask? Pure chance - I'd really never heard of it until my friend brought me back a tube of it.
Let's start with the appearance. I absolutely love the retro look of it. Of course you aren't going to go out and buy a mascara just because it looks cute (or who knows, maybe some people do?) - it's what's inside that's really important. The texture of the mascara itself is fabulous - it's like whipped and light and fluffy...nothing heavy that's going to clump your lashes beyond all hope. The wand is double the size of a typical wand, but I think it is what makes this mascara so special. There are so many bristles that it's actually quite difficult for your lashes to clump together. The waterproof version of the BFM is without flaw. I've never had it flake, smear, drip, or smudge whatsoever. Even after crying hysterically, through the drippy eyeliner mess, my mascara still remains - tried and true!
I know what you are all thinking - $20 for a fricking mascara that will be either used up or dried out with in a few months...are you on crack!? I'll admit, it is outrageous. As much as I love the results, I truly can't justify spending that much money on a tube of mascara when I can get a drugstore one that I love almost as much for less than half the price. Honestly, I've never purchased this mascara myself...the few tube's that I've indulgently enjoyed have all been given to me.
If you are someone who can afford to spend $20 on a mascara, I'd definitely recommend checking Urban Decay's Big Fatty Mascara out...you won't be disappointed. I've found my tubes to (surprisingly) last 4-6 months, which is fantastic. Maybe that can help justify the cost for those of you who don't splurge often?
