When you ask anyone what their favorite mascara is, the answer is almost always Dior DiorShow, and with good reason. Known as the “big show” mascara, Dior created a product that really does lengthen and thicken lashes. Truly. Now, I don’t know about you guys but I go through a tube of mascara prettttty quickly and so spending $25 a tube can get really costly. I recently tried L’Oreal Paris Voluminous mascara ($8.49, drugstore.com) and I gotta tell you, it’s SUPER close to DiorShow. For about one-third of the price, L’Oreal’s version similarly lengthens and thickens lashes and, according to L’Oreal, they thicken lashes up to four times their natural thickness, which is pretty amazing.

Have you tried either mascara? Which is your favorite?
