Mixed or Yay?

Mixed
The Hourglass mascara has a tiny little synthetic brush, though. I don't like the teeny brushes. I like a big brush. I need the volume.

Yay
My favorite Hourglass mascara now comes in espresso and the ultra black original. I'm going to use espresso. It's so exciting that they came out with a brown. I love brown mascaras. And I especially love this formula. One of my favorite mascaras of all time.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
