So, you are wondering what this is all about? I know I haven't done too many posts like this. Why or how I use a makeup item or why that is sometimes necessary ( the one one more so because I feel, most of my readers are makeup geeks so, I have really very little to preach here).
Anyway, as a novice, I had never understood the importance of mascaras. One reason was that, for a very long time, makeup to me meant a nice lipstick. Back then, I had beautiful lashes as well I think. Since the last two years,  when I spent most of my leisure time watching youtube videos, I actually learnt the application, etc. I would discuss my learning curve in a separate post.

Mascara downside and the necessity: Dealing with lashfall.
As I started wearing eye makeup, mascaras started to become an essential part and now, it feels like my
makeup is not complete without it. Since my lashfall  due to blepharitis ( I had discussed that here), and then, my bad brush with the waterproof variant with Maybelline's Hypercurl Volume Express which gave me not only a bad lashfall, but also the regrowth looks quite weaker. Now that my lashes had become thinner, I mascaras became more important. I know, I should stay away. but these days I am venturing more into the washable variant and ah! What a relief! I had been doing certain things in order to get my lashes in shape as well. but that's a different story which I would be coming up with shortly.

Why more mascara?
I am loving mascara more, because, after I say powder my face, the powder sticks to my lashes and it looks lighter. A generous coat makes them thicker and I take care to look down and brush along vertically to give them maximum curl without using a curler which might further damage the lashes. Luckily, my lashes are naturally long. hence, my technique works to fan them out and a good coat does the job.

I received one mascara as a gift from a cousin and the other two as samples and the rest with my own money. But since, I don't want them to become dry, I am kind of using all of them. I shall review them shortly and the products would finally enter the arena for a battle while I also come up with how I am letting my lashes grow back to their full strength again.
