Lashing Out

I got a little tired of my regular mascara and decided to try something fresh this new year, but oh where to start?! So I posted this photo on Insta asking what new mascara I should try out next:

Y'all had so many great suggestions! I had NO idea where to start though, there were so many to choose from... 

After spending a little too much time at Ulta going back and forth on what to try out I settled on Too Faced Better Than Sex. 

My go-tos prior to Tarte's Gifted mascara was Benefit's They're Real. I may go back to one of those, but I felt like They're Real rubbed off on my under eyes too much. No complaints about Gifted, I just wanted to try something new.

So far, I've only used my new Too Faced mascara for a couple days now, but I'm already loving the large brush and thickness of the mascara itself! 

What I'm not so sure I'm loving is the clumps that gather at the end of the brush and I've had a few flakes land on my under eyes. 

Regardless, isn't having new makeup just so much fun?!

So did I make the right choice? You guys let me know what your favorite is and what I should try out next, this may just turn into a rolling experiment!
