Nars Audacious Mascara Review

October 8, 2015

Nars audacious mascara

The new Nars Audacious mascara

Have you seen or heard of the new Nars Audacious Mascara yet?  I heard about it and decided to give it a try when I had a code at Sephora for a free tube.  I love Nars Audacious lipsticks, therefore I had high hopes for this mascara as well.  The full size mascara retails for $26 for .32 ounces.  It can be purchased at Sephora, Nordstrom and all other retailers that sell Nars products.  The formula is a very “wet” type of mascara.  The brush is a silicone type with a splayed tip on the end.

The packaging is pretty, just like all other Nars products.  The tube is a black rubberized material.

The brush is described as “an exclusive, lash-catching brush that separates, lengthens, and amplifies.”

 

Nars Audacious

You can see my before, during and after photos.  These photos demonstrate how the mascara applied to my eyes as well as how the mascara held up after 10 hours.

Verdict:  

Pros:

  • I love the pretty packaging of this mascara.
  • The mascara was very easy to remove in the evenings.  No rubbing or tugging needed.

Cons:

  • The large brush was rather difficult for me to work with.  The brush is supposed to grab the lashes.  However, I seemed to have a hard time grabbing and separating my lashes.
  • I felt like my lashes were a bit clumpy and quite messy.
  • I had a lot of flaking with this mascara.
  • Please remember that I reviewed the sample size of this mascara rather than the full size product.  It is possible that the longer wand size of their full mascara is better and/or easier to work with.
  • At $26, this mascara is quite pricey.

Sorry Nars, but I say pass on this mascara.  There are others that are much better that will give you a lot more bang for your buck.

    I think this might have been the most honest makeup review I’ve ever read lol thanks for telling it like it is! I used to buy pricey mascaras because of the quality, but now I’ve found that some drugstore brands work just as well as the high end brands.

    Loved your review and honesty 🙂 I actually don’t know any NARS products, but I know they do have some good things. But for $26, this was a bit pricey for a tube of mascara.

      Yes, I agree. $26 is a lot for mascara when there are some great ones at the drugstore. Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

    Great review – really appreciate those images before-during-after! I was all sucked in with that packaging too and then when you wrapped it up with those helpful pros and cons – eek $26?! A little bit whoa for me – but I am always intrigued. Thanks for sharing.

      I know, the packaging was pretty nice, as always with Nars. Just not worth the money in my opinion. Others may have had a different experience. I try many many mascaras and this one just didn’t do it for me. Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

Currently enjoying the same views, but from under an umbrella. No complaints from me!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.

Visit the @coldwatercreek website for all of their new Fall styles.
