Sephora Lashstash Mascara Sampler

Let’s get the basics out of the way first. For less than fifty bucks you’re going to get two full-sized and seven travel-sized premium brand mascaras, plus a set of Huda Beauty faux lashes. That alone makes this mascara sampler kit the best deal in makeup on the web right now.

But, just like your favorite late night infomercial, it gets better…

You’re not getting just any mascara. You’re scoring a who’s who of eye makeup best sellers. The two full-size mascaras are Benefit Cosmetics Rollerlash in Black and Urban Decay Troublemaker Mascara in Black. Rollerlash is a current top-five bestseller at Sephora and retails for $24.00. Troublemaker is a little too new to have achieved bestseller status yet, but the reviews are solid, and it too retails for $24.00. So, there’s the price of the kit right there.

The rest of the kit is filled out with travel sizes, which are, for the most part, about half of the size of a standard full-size tube. It includes all-time favorites Dior Diorshow, Kevyn Aucoin Beauty The Expert, Clinique High Impact, Make Up For Ever Excessive Lash, and Sephora Collection Lashcraft, alongside newer formulas Yves Saint Laurent The Shock and Lancome Monsieur Big. Plus those Huda Beauty lashes, which retail for $20.00.

Sephora puts the retail value of this mascara sampler at $132.00, but I think that’s a little low considering you’d need to buy full sizes of most of these mascaras if you wanted to try them all. By my calculation, that puts the true replacement value of trying all nine mascaras somewhere north of $200.00. Like I said, probably the best deal in makeup right now.
