LASH STASH

The search for the perfect mascara just got a whole lot easier.

For some girls, life is one long quest to find the perfect pair of jeans.

For others, it’s a search for the ultimate red lipstick.

But for most of us, there’s nothing more frustrating than mascara. It can be clumpy, waxy, and flaky—and that’s before you even try to go the night without looking like a raccoon.

For all those times you’ve strolled the aisles at Sephora wishing you could just try them all and finally find that ideal mascara, there’s now LashStash.

Dubbed a “deluxe sampler” for a reason, this kit features 10 different mascara wands for you to test out. For thickening, there’s a wand from Laura Mercier; for volumizing, there’s a tube from Korres; for lengthening there’s a brush from Urban Decay.

You might recognize a few of these mascaras, but at $39 for the whole set, you can afford to try out a few unknowns. It could lead you to the wand of your dreams—or, at the very least, one that leaves you with lush lashes until you find something even better.
