Mascara has always been my thing. I remember the very first time I used it—Maybelline Great Lash ($10), in my mom’s car on the way to Thanksgiving dinner. I got tons of compliments from my aunt and was immediately hooked. Flash forward more than 20 years, and I still feel the same way about the beauty fave—but I also have a new secret: Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD lash enhancing serum (was $125, now $88). While it's quite a bit pricier than my Maybelline mascara was back then, it does a lot more than just coat my lashes. Better yet, it's on mega sale at Sephora in honor of National Lash Day, from now through Feb. 24. What better way to celebrate than by snagging a *six month* supply of this magic formula for nearly $40 off?
With this serum, I no longer wear makeup daily and I'm not the least bit tempted by eyelash extensions (oh, the horror stories). Let's be real, who am I really trying to impress aside from my new roommates (ahem, parents) and my dog? But that also doesn't mean I don't want long, fluffy lashes for my own enjoyment.
