Dupe or dud??




Ok, spoiler alert. 

NOT A DUPE.

However, you may want to keep reading because even though in my opinion, Elf mascara is NOT a duplicate for It Cosmetics. I still have lots of great things to say about both products!



I've been using It Cosmetics mascara for getting close to a year now. If you've followed me awhile you know my lashes are very short due to a bad lash extension job years ago! It Cosmetics gives my lashes the volume and length that I need. However I'm more than aware that $25 isn't in everyone's budget for mascara, which is why I became VERY excited over my (what I thought) was my Elf dupe find!

They have similar brush, but the elf brush is smaller and thinner which makes sense that it doesn't give your lashes as my volume! The pro is the length! It gave my lashes JUST as much length as the It! I know some of my friends have thick lashes but need volume. If that's the case for you go grab a tube of this $3 mascara!

I personally like to use both of them for maximum strength mascara ;)

Bottom Line.

I wouldn't say its a dud but most def not a dupe.

Happy Hask Hair




Just in case you didn't read my last Hask Hair post (here) I have a mild obsession with it!! I was super excited for them to send me another part of the bamboo oil series the strengthening line! I REALLY needed this!! Just like the previous one I tried it lathered SO well! It doesn't have a super amazing smell, but that's really the only con for me on this entire line! The shampoo and conditioner are about $6 each. Then the oil and deep conditioner are around $4 each! I use this line almost every single time I shampoo my hair!
See full products here which will also take you to the Ulta site where I personally would purchase them, because WHO doesn't want Ulta points?! 



Now on to the info some people may want to know ;)
