Mascara Brushes: Bristle Vs. Plastic

Bristle Vs. Plastic
The Mascara Wand Battle

Am I the only woman lately who has been utterly confused and frustrated by the newest trend in mascara wands: the plastic brush??
For instance: Benefit Cosmetics (whom I utterly love normally) came out with a wildly popular mascara called "They're Real", which of course I tried. And I found with the plastic brush, it was too goopy, made my lashes clumpy, unappealing. So far, I have had the same results with every other plastic-bristled mascara brush I've encountered.


Now let me tell you a better story. If you're like me, and ultimately prefer the original brush style wand, there are NEW mascaras coming out all the time that have the amazing real bristle brush that we love. I just tried an amazing new mascara product by Makeup Forever called "Smoky Extravagant", and it sure works well. Highly recommend.

tarte cosmetics, while having maybe one or two plastic brush mascaras, creates some of the BEST mascaras, and thusly mascara wands, of all time. Best I've ever tried. Firstly, their lash primer is the best. It's called "multiplEYE lash enhancing primer"; of course, with a bristle brush.

Secondly they make my FAVORITE mascara of all time "Lights, Camera, Splashes", a waterproof mascara that makes my lashes longer, more defined and more beautiful than before. 
These are both lash products I highly, HIGHLY recommend. tarte in general is my favorite cosmetics company for so many reasons. More on that in my next post. 

Questions:
Which do you prefer?
Do both work for you?
Do you, too, wonder: "why plastic bristles?"?
