But which mascaras stand the test of time? Check out Garlin's top picks below, plus fall fashion finds for the season ahead. Maybelline The Falsies Mascara "In my opinion, this is the best mascara the beauty industry has to offer. No matter how many mascaras I try or test, I always go back to Maybelline Falsies — and not just for its affordable price. I find it to be super pigmented and long-lasting, you just need a few swipes in the morning and you're set for the rest of the day." $6.00 $9.99 SHOP NOW Maybelline The Colossal Mascara "This is my go-to if my Falsies color is out of stock or only sold in waterproof. According to the brand, the mascara is infused with collagen, which they say will help plump your lashes and give them extreme volume, which I definitely notice while wearing this all day long." $6.70 $9.99 SHOP NOW Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara Garlin says this Tarte mascara is her "number one on my splurge-worthy list" that she'd buy again and again. "The formula applies extremely pigmented (which is great for those with lighter lashes), doesn't smudge [or] budge one bit. The spoolie looks like a traditional mascara brush that tapers towards the end; it's easy to control and helps curl and lift my lashes." $25.00 SHOP NOW Clinique High Impact Mascara "There's a reason why the brand says it's their bestselling mascara, it promises to build dramatic and bold lashes, and it really delivers. The buildable formula applies effortlessly without any clumping. And for sensitive eyes, the first ingredient in it is water, so I found it to be super gentle when taking off at the end of the day." $25.00 SHOP NOW Fall fashion finds ANRABESS Long Sleeve Cardigan $39.99 $66.99 SHOP NOW Wrangler Authentics Denim Jacket $39.99 SHOP NOW Universal Thread™ Midi Dress $30.00 SHOP NOW Anygrew High-Waisted Wide-Leg Pants $19.98 $24.98 SHOP NOW Trending Articles Why is everyone putting snail mucin on their face?
