My favourite mascaras will be the first to come under fire...
As mentioned in a previous post, I only ever really have one or two mascaras on the go at the same time so I will be using Google images for this - hope you lovely ladies don't mind!
For me, I like a mascara to give me results - curl, length and volume. I usually curl my lashes before the application of mascara - or after one thin coat - but it is nice when a mascara can give you a curl without that effort! I also look for a mascara that gives a natural finish with one coat but can then can be built up to give your lashes as much drama as you wish!
So without further ado, these are - in no particular order - my top 5....
L'oreal Voluminous - RRP £7.99
Lancome Virtuôse - RRP £20
Clinique High Impact - RRP £14.50
Bourjois Volume Clubbing - RRP £7.99
Natural Collection Water Guard - £1.99
There is nothing much to say about these five except they give long, luscious, thick black lashes and the mascara does not budge - important as my eyes regularly water for no apparent reason! I love all of them and I gladly repurchase again and again - especially the Natural Collection which I held no hopes for but for £1.99 it really does the job!
Next up to try is the Eyeko -I've heard such great things and for £5 one can't really go wrong! I also need to try the Rimmel Sexy Curves after watching back all of Pixiwoo's videos....
Any other recommendations out there?!
Eyeko is now 8 pounds actually. but still worth the money. x
ReplyDeleteAh thank you for letting me know! xx
ReplyDeletenice post! look forward to the others in this series! how's the project 20 pan going?
ReplyDeleteI'm the same- once I find a mascara I loke, I stick with it! It's the one product I tend not to expermient with. I've been using Clinique High Definition Lashes for a couple of years now and absolutely adore it x
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - Thank you! It's going ok...not brilliant! Got a post planned with reviews of things I've been trying to use up etc so keep an eye out..! xx
ReplyDelete@Copper Locs - I think mascara is one of those products that you can only reach a certain point with - before going to fake lashes - so if you find a great mascara you may as well stick with it! I can get bored though so will add the High Definition to my list..! xx
ReplyDeleteI hated Rimmel Sexy Curves! I do have short, stubby lashes though, so although it increased the length, there was no volume :-(
ReplyDeleteMy favourite mascara so far is L'oreal beauty tubes. You tried these?
@Laura - Oh no! I've just ordered the waterproof version - hope it does something good to my lashes!
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually tried the beauty tubes but love many of the L'oreal mascaras so I may have to try it out some time..! xx
I love the Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara, it adds so much length and curl to my lashes! I reviewed it on my blog with pics, if you want to check it out http://shineandsparkle29.blogspot.com/2010/05/review-of-rimmel-sexy-curves-mascara.html
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't add much volume granted, but I find that I don't need that as it adds so much length, doesn't seem to flake on me or smudge either!
Just found your blog and I'm really enjoying reading it :-)
