L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Mascara 5 Carbon Black Mascara

 



I really like L'Oreal and this mascara is not bad. It's not the best I have ever used but for the price it does the job. First of all it makes your lashes look much thicker and longer. You can apply up to three coats if you wish and it still looks nice with no clumps. It's a very very black mascara so quite hard to remove as it does leave some black stains under your eyes so you have to use more eye make-up remover or wipes. After a long day I also noticed some black marks underneath my eyes in out corners but you have to remember I have got oily to combination skin so my make-up doesn't stay in place the whole day. Anyway I really wanted to try this mascara and apart from two minuses (black marks and hard to remove) it is a really good mascara for a good price especially if you are looking for a really really black mascara.

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

I bought this mascara as I really liked other Maybelline mascaras before (eg. Great Lash mascara).What can I say.Don't buy it if you have got combination to oily skin like me as it just runs down. Doesn't last long,maybe around 3-4 hours. Lashes are longer, fuller mascara obviously does add the volume but for me it's a 'no' as it doesn't stay long and I don't like to check myself in the mirror for any black marks underneath my eyes :-(. I just think for a similar price you can get something a bit better.

Lash Power Mascara by Clinique

Long-wearing formula and believe me it is. Firstly thin nice non-plastic brush which I really like because it doesn't leave any black marks on my eyelids. Very easy to put on, no clumps lashes are nicely separated. The only problem which for some of you will not be a problem is to take off this mascara. I didn't use waterproof make-up remover as I don't have one but you can give it a try. With my standard make-up removers it was pretty hard to take it off and I had to rub it really hard. It is not a problem for me as I don't have sensitive eyes but it may be a problem if you do. Anyway it is a long-wearing formula and Clinique didn't lie about it :). Great mascara I would recommend to anybody.

Telescopic Mascara by L'Oreal

No,no and no. Disappointed, but I still like L'Oreal. I was looking for some mascara with a thin brush as they are my favourite ones. So I read in one of the magazines, don't actually remember which one that celebrities are using it and it has got a thin brush and its amazing. Well unfortunately not for me. Plastic brush which I hate (my fault I did not check in the shop) very long which may be good if you have got long almond shape eyes ( I don't have tho :) and it makes clumps. A mistake.

Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara by Estee Lauder



I was very confused with this mascara. Firstly I had a sample I got from Estee Lauder and the sample was really good so I rush to buy a big one one day and...Hmm a bit disappointed. I can assure you the original one wasn't so good as the sample and didn't last long. But apart from this its still a very good mascara. The brush is not too big, has a good shape which allows you to do corner lashes (thinner at the top) so its easy to use for the bottom lashes as well. The only minus I can say was it did not last so long as the sample.

Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lenghtening Mascara by Estee Lauder

Free sample I got when I was buying some Estee Lauder products (sample on a picture). So far one of the best mascaras I have ever used. Quite thin brush (which I love), good coverage and long stay even tho its not waterproof one. The only problem is that its quite hard to take off even with good eye-make up remover. So what I do is I wet my face under the shower. I wait until its quite soft and just take it off my lashes with my fingers (works similar as Double Extension by L'Oreal). I know, strange but it works.

Bad gal Lash Mascara by Benefit

Free sample from Glamour (picture). For girls who like big brushes, personally I don't but I know few friends and they love this mascara. Lashes are visually longer, thicker but for me that big brush just doesn't work. Have to be careful applying every coat and I always have black marks on my eyelids.
