3. Telescopic Mascara Waterproof: $9.24
Using a waterproof mascara during the summertime will prevent the product from melting off and also you can go in the water with it. This is easily one of the best mascaras you can find in the market right now at an amazing price. Waterproof mascara also helps keep your eyelashes in place, more than regular mascara.

The best way you can avoid low quality mascaras is by trying waterproof formulas, most importantly during the summertime (H-E-B).
