As a mom things can get pretty hectic, especially in the mornings. By the time two kids are fed, bathed, and dressed I don't always have the time to get myself all dolled up. It's amazing how quickly kids can make you a minimalist.

Even if I don't have time to do all of my makeup, the one thing I refuse to give up is mascara. Because of this I am very picky about the quality of my mascara. Urban Decay Big Fatty is one of my go-to's.

Pros: It slides on smoothly and extends lashes while adding volume. It isn't too heavy.
Cons: It takes a while to dry and clumps easily. It also runs very easy and burns worse than any mascara I have ever used if it gets in your eyes.

This mascara is perfect for adding on top of another mascara to add length. This way you are only adding one coat of it, preventing the clumps. This mascara stays in my purse for the sole purpose of touch-ups.

I've used this product fr a few years now (new bottles don't worry). I love the volume and the length. Very dramatic without being scary. I do find it starts to flake slightly near the end of the day, but I'm willing to forgive that. It's very hard to find a thickening mascara that doesn't clump. Devoted for life!
