Mascara Overview

Elite Mascara
£8?
Available in Superdrug
Odd wand, the bristles spiral round and look like a corkscrew opener instead of a normal brush!
Lengthens Lashes
Seperates Well
Doesn't add alot of volume!
6/10
Benefit Bad Gal Mascara
£15.50
Massive wand that covers every little hair.

Attractive packaging
Lovely formula, seperates, lengthens and add volume.
Can be built up.
9/10
Bourjous Elastic Mascara
£9
Rubber wand with very short bristles.
Very strange handle, bit flimsy!
Formula is very, very wet so lashes clump up very easily unless you are extremely careful with aplication!
Added a little length but didn't give me any thickness or seperate well.
3/10

Max Factor False Lash Effect
£10.99
Big rubber wand with short bristles.
Nice formulation, covers lashes well and seperates.
Adds lengths but not enough volume!
7/10

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Mascara
£7.99
Hideous packaging.
Strange wavey wand that takes a bit of practise!
Seperates well, adds length and volume but dries out quite quickly.
Feels a tiny bit dry.
Applying in stages works well.
7.5/10

Rimmel Maxi Volume Flash Mascara
£6.99
Tacky packaging unless you love pink
Nice chunky wand with lots of bristles.
Formula is very wet so leaving it to dry up slightly for a few weeks helps.
Adds a lot of length, seperates well and adds volume.
Crispy lashes. :(
7.5/10

What's your favourite mascara?

6 beauty obsessed ladies have an opinion...:

  1. At the moment I'm using Maybelline Collosal Mascara and I'm really happy with it.
    I've found a very cheap drugstore one (about 3 euros) that does wonders, it's by Essence but I don't remember its name...something like Lash Mania...

    by the way, there's a contest going on in my blog! Go and check it and good luck if you decide to participate :)

  2. My favorite is the "Volume Lash Millionaire" from L'Oreal :)
    It adds a lot of length, separates well and can be added on in layers - but the first layer can't be too dry, that doesn't work very well.

  3. My favourite is Chanel Inimitable Intense but it's a bit pricey to keep buying so I'm on the look-out for a cheaper one! I'm torn between Max Factor 2000 calorie and L'Oreal Volume Millions, oh what to do, what to do :)

  4. My favourite is L'oreal telescopic. I used to have and love 2000 calorie. I might actually try it out again since I am running out of telescopic now :) Thanks for the helpful review !
