Alright, buckle up buttercups, ’cause I’m about to spill the tea on my latest makeup adventure: the Araceli Mascara!
So, I’d been seeing this Araceli Beauty mascara all over my feed, right? Everyone was raving about how it gives you these crazy long, fluttery lashes without clumping. Me? I’m always on the hunt for the holy grail of mascaras. My lashes are naturally kinda short and stubby, so anything that promises length and volume? I’m there.
First things first, I hopped online and snagged one. It came in this super cute packaging, very vibrant and colorful – totally digging the vibe. I think I got the black one, the ‘Obsidian’ shade, which is a staple for me. I like my lashes DARK.
The wand is, like, crucial, am I right? This one had a pretty standard bristle brush, not too big, not too small. Just right, Goldilocks-style. I always wipe off the excess product on the rim of the tube before I start applying. Seriously, a little goes a LONG way with most mascaras, and you wanna avoid that spider-leg situation. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Okay, so the application process. I started by curling my lashes. This step is NON-NEGOTIABLE for me. Curled lashes make a HUGE difference. Then, I wiggled the wand at the base of my lashes and pulled it upwards, making sure to coat every single lash. I did a second coat for extra drama, focusing on the outer corners to really fan them out. I saw someone on TikTok do that so I tried it.
Now, for the moment of truth: the results. I gotta say, I was pretty impressed! My lashes definitely looked longer and more defined. They had a good amount of volume too, without feeling heavy or crunchy. And the best part? No clumping! Hallelujah!
I wore it all day, and it didn’t flake or smudge, which is a major win in my book. I HATE when mascara ends up under my eyes. Total raccoon eyes are NOT a good look. Plus, it was easy to remove at the end of the day with my regular makeup remover. No aggressive scrubbing required, which is always a plus.
The Breakdown:
- Pros: Lengthening, volumizing, no clumping, long-lasting, easy to remove.
- Cons: Maybe not super dramatic volume, but definitely buildable.
So, would I recommend the Araceli Mascara? Yeah, I would! It’s a solid mascara that delivers on its promises. If you’re looking for a reliable everyday mascara that gives you length and definition, this one’s definitely worth checking out.
Quick Tip: To avoid clumping, try applying your mascara in thin coats and letting each coat dry slightly before applying the next one. This helps to build volume without weighing down your lashes.
That’s my two cents, loves! Happy lashing!
