Bourjois Waterproof Maxi Frange Maximum Length and Volume Mascara
We'll be honest—the cool packaging on the Bourjois Waterproof Maxi Frange Maximum Length and Volume Mascara initially lured us in. But the stuff that's inside this dual-ended tube is equally as cool. Use the first wand to comb and separate lashes, and the second to coat them with lots of volume and intense color. The result? A look that's guaranteed to heat things up—and it'll last for hours without smudging or melting.
