POP Beauty launched their Peak Performance Mascara last year and it has proven to be quite an innovative product! This mascara has a cool comb applicator instead of a wand. It comes in 3 shades, a black called Brilliant Black, a brown called Cocoa Charm, and a blue called Inky Indigo.
This mascara is also very hygienic and will last a lot longer than regular mascaras because you are not exposing the entire product to the air, you are just twisting a little bit into the comb at a time!
The cool comb applicator will take a minute to get used to, but it’s a really effective way to apply mascara. I find that this mascara is great to use on bottom lashes because the applicator makes it that much easier! Before showing you each of the mascaras on my eyes, I’ll let you know a little more about the formula. This mascara is a pretty wet formula that kind of makes your lashes look shiny! It is mainly a volumizing mascara, so I actually prefer to use it as a mascara “topcoat” for some additional volume. I did find that it flaked a little bit though!
The black is a must-have. I showed it here layered over a lengthening mascara, also by POP. I like this combo because it provides both length and volume. In the other photos you will notice there is a lot of volume but no length.
Cocoa Charm gives a very natural look to the lashes. Peak Performance kind of tubes around your lashes, making it look very natural. As you can see it’s not clumpy or dry looking…it almost looks shiny! This one I’d say you could skip, unless you’re a beginner with makeup.
Inky Indigo is by far my favorite, just because I really like the idea of colored mascaras for spring. I wish this one was a little more electric, but it does show up very nicely on bottom lashes!
Overall this mascara isn’t for everyone, but I really liked it. It’s priced at $20, which will make it an occasional splurge for me, but not a daily must have. I think you should try it just because it’s so unique! Find POP at ULTA or online!

this mascara looks amazing on your eyes!
Thank you, Brooke!
Although the applicator is a slightly scary, this looks beautiful. Definitely not an everyday mascara I would use mainly because of the applicator, I'm the sort to put it on in a rush and head out the door.
Thank you! I agree!
