Today I thought I would do a small review of some mascaras that have been tried and tested by the best (me tehe). I have always loved mascara, well ever since I started wearing makeup, and because I'm not Honey-BooBoo, it was more like in my teen years. Over the years i have tried lots of mascaras, and haven't really found anything that I LOVE. I have liked some of them, but have then wanted to try something different, to see if I can get something better.
Now, I really like Benefit as a brand. Their makeup is fun, but is also really good. I heard that the 'They're Real' mascara was really good, so I handed over my £18.50 and got me one. I think this is one of the best mascaras out there. It gave my lashes real volume and length, but it wasn't clumpy. The formula was light and quite liquid, so it really worked on my lashes. It stayed well on my lashes, it didn't break down, however, I did find that it transferred after a bit of wear. Keeping in mind that I have oily eye-lids (sounds gross, I know...), mascaras don't often last well on me. This one really did and I have loved it. Is it worth the money? maybe. I think its for you to decide. It is one of those things that I really wish I loved it more, but I just don't. Its really REALLY good, but not perfect. I would totally reccomend this mascara as it is rather fab!
Second, we have this bad boy.
Next, we have the Collection (used to be Collection 2000, hmm, what ever happened to the 2000?) 'Big Fake Ultimate false lash effect' mascara. Because it is a drugstore mascara and it was only £5.99, I wasn't expecting too much from this product, but I had heard that it was really good, so i was looking forward to trying it. The first thing i noticed about this mascara was the size of the wand. OH MY GOLLY GOSH it is big (that's what she said). This mascara does indeed give you very full volumous lashes. BUT (I think we all saw that coming) it just didn't last on me. After a few hours wear I had panda eyes, which to be honest, only looks cute on a panda. I was really dissapointed after hearing such great things about this product, but I guess its just one of those things, eh? If you have dry eyelids (is that a thing? basically not oily eyelids) this may well be the mascara for you, but from my own experience with it, I would not reccomend it to you.
The third and final mascara I'm reviewing is my favourite. I have definatly saved the best till last.
Ker-pow! yes, it is the Maybelline 'The Rocket volum' express' waterproof mascara. I opted to get the waterproof formula, as I seem to have trouble keeping mascara on my lashes and off my face. This mascara is honestly the best I have ever tried. My lashes look full and long and just great. Its not clumpy and it lasts. Removing this mascara isn't bad either, considering most waterproof mascaras seem to be makeup remover proof aswell, it comes off easily. I am mightely impressed with you Maybelline! This mascara does exactly what it says and more! (well, not much more, but its really good - yay!) I am now happy, and at peace because I now have a good mascara. As you can probably tell, I would definatly recommend it. At only £7.99, it is a real bargin - GO GET ONE NOW!
Thats all for today, I hope you have found this useful. Until next time, BYEEEEEEE xxxxx
-I have not been sponsered by any brands to review their products (darn) so all of my opinions are true, trust me!-
