Kjaer Weis, $38: First up is a current cult classic. Many green beauty bloggers and sites love this mascara! I was very excited to try it because it is mostly organic, but was not very thrilled about the price. This also happens to be the most expensive mascara I have ever purchased! Out of the 3 I am reviewing, this one is my least favorite. The packaging is very sleek and appealing, and the brush is flat and long. Personally, it didn't do much for me. It made my lashes darker, but the more I applied, the more my lashes clumped together. It didn't give much length either. Some swear by it, but I will not be purchasing this mascara again! It is way too pricey for mediocre results. If you are interested in purchasing this mascara, you can find it on their website by clicking the name Kjaer Weis above, OR you can check out the sites I have previously mentioned, Spirit Beauty Lounge and Eco Diva Beauty!

Who knew October would be such a crazy month!! Last week I catered my friend Michelle's baby shower, and it was a hit! It also took up ALL of my time for about two weeks, meaning no time for blog updates :). Check out my Instagram if you would like to see everything I did! (There is a button at the top of this page). This week's blog is all about natural and organic mascaras! These are the 3 mascaras that I have tried thus far, and this is my review for them! The contenders: Kjaer Weis Mascara $38, Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Nautural Origin Jumbo Lash Mascara $9.95, and Josie Maran GOGO Instant Natural Volume Argan Mascara in Pitch Black $22. Each mascara is at a different price point, which is why I am reviewing them together. I have used each mascara alone, as well as two together. Out of these 3, my favorite is the Josie Maran mascara. Before I used natural mascaras, Diorshow was my favorite for years, and I have been struggling to find one that gives similar results! To date, the Josie Maran mascara was the closest to Diorshow!

Physicians Formula, $9.95: So this mascara you can find at Target, CVS, Walmart, etc. It is easily available in comparison to the other 2. It also happens to be the cheapest! This mascara was my second favorite, and is a great choice for an every day mascara! The packaging is shaped differently, and the brush is fat and oval like many other drugstore mascaras. It does not provide as much volume as I would like, but it does provide more volume than Kjaer Weis. It also separates and lengthens the lashes nicely. A huge perk is that it is 100% Natural, and 70% Organic. This is definitely worth your money! Again, please click the link for specific ingredients! Josie Maran, $22: This is my favorite mascara of the three by a long shot! It claims to be a mascara that provides volume, which is totally true! The price is right around what I used to pay for Diorshow, so I wasn't opposed to purchasing it. One of the many reasons I wanted to try this mascara over many other natural options is that argan oil is one of the ingredients. If you are a first-time reader, please click here and refer to my post about Argan Oil. I LOVE THE STUFF!! On top of that, it is all-natural, recyclable, AND $1.00 of every purchase goes to City of Hope, a leading institution in cancer treatment and education! As for the packaging, it is very simple and cute. The brush is different than any other brush I have ever used. The best way to describe it is a 3D triangle. The brush allows for a great amount of volume, length, and color. It also holds the curl if you use an eyelash curler. With one coat, it is a great daily mascara, with 2+ coats, you get a more dramatic look for evenings or going out! Overall, I am very pleased with this mascara, and will most likely keep purchasing it! I do have more mascaras I would like to try, but for now, I am confident in saying that I have found an awesome natural mascara! Like the other two, please refer to the website for ingredients and to purchase! Well there you have it! Sorry for not blogging weekly! Life gets in the way sometimes :). Stay tuned for some exciting stuff coming up! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, so I'll be sure to post some gobble-worthy blogs!! Happy Halloween too! Here's some stuff I made for the baby shower, and the pumpkin that I carved! All the things that were keeping me from blogging :). Thanks for reading! You guys are awesome!
