MAC Plushlash Mascara in Plushblack Swatches & Review

So, I feel like a post regarding one of my favorite every day mascaras is a long time coming.  For drama I like to use Chanel Le Volume, but for every day eye looks 9 times out of 10 I’m reaching for MAC Plushlash.  And it’s been that way since it released years ago.

052What the MAC website has to say about Plushlash Mascara:

Plumps, curls and volumizes. Builds thickness smoothly and evenly, delivering a full fan of lashes. Rich, hydrating formula. No smudging or clumping. A patented brush wraps lashes one luxurious layer at a time for immediate, intense drama.

9 g / 0.31 US oz

053 067 068(the eye look used above can be found here)

Plushlash has always worked best for me in terms of separating (which my lashes seem to have a hard time doing), curling, lengthening and thickening.  I like the thick brush and sometimes only need one coat to achieve the results I’m after.  This mascara is truly an HG and I always have a back-up on hand!

MAC Plushlash Mascara retails for $16.00 and can be purchased at your local MAC counter (try Nordstrom) or store, as well as online at maccosmetics.com.
