I’m a beauty lover – I was using $30 mascara but bought a $4.99 tube from a popular brand at Ulta, I’ll never go back

A BEAUTY fan has shared the affordable mascara she swears by for achieving full lashes.

The makeup enthusiast revealed that she switched from a high-end option to the budget-friendly item.

In her video, the TikTok user Sara (@sarainchicago) explained: “I’m dead serious, once you use this mascara you’ll never go back.”

Sara specializes in “everything beauty” including “makeup on a budget.”

Holding up her budget find, she said: “See this one, I always see it in Ulta, it’s so cheap I didn’t use it.”

Instead, the beauty fan opted for higher-end products with a $30 price tag.

However, once she tried the cheaper item she said there was no turning back.

Sara showed her followers the secret item, available for $4.99 from Ulta.

The Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara is from the Essence brand.

In a second video, she revealed the benefits of the budget-friendly item.

She explained the mascara doesn’t crumble, only requires on coat, and has no curling.

Sara regularly shares her budget beauty tips with her followers, including a $6 eyebrow gel from the drugstore.

She also created a full makeup look using items that totaled less than $25.

Another beauty fan demonstrated her contour hack that gives you an instant nose job.

A second makeup whizz warned her followers against a highlighter hack that adds years to your appearance.
