Review on: Eyes - Mascara Helena Rubinstein Extravagant Mascara
I always wanted to try this brand cause Paula Begoun mentioned it in her book of how superb this mascara is...Well I finally ordered it from Strawberrynet.com. Let me tell you SHE WASN'T LYING...THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC..IT DOES ALL IT SAYS IN THE DIRECTIONS...I would definitely buy this product again..Just upset that Helena Rubinstein's products aren't sold here in USA..Could say it reminds me of Fibrewig(Imju) Mascara...
Pros: REALLY LENGTHENS...
Cons: 31.00 is alittle steep. But to me it's worth every dollar.
Tried this in the Phenomen'Black color. The packaging is gorgeous, but the real show stopper is the applicator. It looks like a tiny torture device, but it is surprisingly super easy to use. I didn't get any mascara poop on my lids so that is how simple it is to use. The product just kind of glides on, not clumpy at all. Like really...not at all. lol It most def holds the curl in place without weighing your lashes down. It really does reach every last lash like it says it will. I know some mascaras are scented, but this one seems to not be. If it is, I can't smell a thing. I wear hard contact lenses so I have super sensitive eyes and this mascara is def. safe for contact lens wearers.
Pros: NO clumps, holds curl, gets every single lash
Cons: price, limited colors
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lash Extending Treatment Mascara
I got this mascara as a sample. Really love using it. As it says its a lengthening mascara. It gave me A LOT of length. Great definition. No clumps no matter how many coats. Really black. It held my curl well. Only thing I didn't like was it didn't give me any volume at all and a lot of product got on the brush. Maybe because it was brand new. Anyway it would probably be great layered after a voluminizing mascara. It does a great job for what its supposed to do. I just like my mascaras to do it all...
In a word? Hate. I have never used a mascara before that performed so poorly. What a huge let down. I ended up taking this back. The base went on fine, but when I used the comb to add the mascara it turned into the ugliest, clumpiest lashes I had ever seen! I do not recommend this to anyone.
This is my favorite mascara from Lancome. I didn't buy this as a whole tube, but rather got a sample from a gift set. From the first moment I put it on, I loved it. The formula is perfect in terms of its wetness: not too wet so that it never dries, but not too dry so that it hurts your lashes.
I have Asian lashes (which can be very disobedient). Although it doesn't curl my lashes, it does lengthen them by quite a lot and doesn't clump at all. I would recommend getting this mascara instead of Hypnose, because for me, Hypnose is a bit too wet.
Pros: No clump. Great at lengthening.
Cons: Price is a bit high. Doesn't curl.
This is a HORRIBLE mascara. I got it as a sample, and didn't like it at all. Using this feels like putting on acrylic paint on my lashes. It has a horrible smell, and it dries your lashes.
I can't believe I used to buy Rimmel clear mascara for my brows when ELF's version was around fro $1!! It is just as good or better and is cheap! They better never stop making this
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Revlon 3D Extreme™ Mascara
I bought this in a whim and decided to give it a go.
I personally love the short wand because it grabs every lashes, even the ones in the corner.
It gives volume, but it doesn't give a whole lot of length. Folks complain about clumping or whatever - but clumping occurs when there's too much product on or rushing through application.
Other than that - it's one of favorite mascara and it gives the illusion of false lashes.
Pros: Short wand
Cons: has a weird bristle but it's not really a con
I was all eager to try this after a great review from Pursebuzz. I have used it under Maybelline Great Lash and NYX Doll Eye mascara. This stuff was a real let down. It didn't add any volume or length, didn't help hold my curl, and during the day bits of my mascara would flake off and collect on my nose and cheeks. I will not repurchase, and eventually took my tube back.
Pros: None
Cons: Didn't work, made my mascara flake off onto my face
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
This mascara is good because it's very dark and it'll make your eyes pop. However, I do agree that it doesn't curl or give volume to your lashes but it gives length. The wand this comes with has bristles that are too far apart and that may be the reason it doesn't give that voluminous look. This is the only mascara that I use but instead of using its wand, I opt for the L'Oreal Voluminous wand.
Pros: Cheap, Lengthens, Very Dark
Cons: I don't care for the mascara wand.
One day, as I was sitting in my room, turning the pages of Vogue magazine, I came across an ad for Lancome Courbe Virtuose mascara. Although, I was skeptical about their entire marketing concept in general, I was utterly determined to test this mascara, to actually see if it lived up to it's promise. I have been searching for a great quality mascara for a long time and it was about time, I actually searched for one.
I decided to make a trip to Belk and head straight to the Lancome makeup counter. In browsing the variety of Lancome products, I started to browse the mascaras. Although, I originally was looking for the Courbe Virtuose, I had noticed quite a few others. I asked the beauty specialist what she recommended and she informed me about Courbe Virtuose. That is when it hit me and I had mentioned to her, that I had seen Lancome's ad in Vogue magazine and although, I was highly impressed, I just wasn't convinced that this mascara lived up to it's promise. I am a quite a fan of Lancome cosmetics, as I have tried an array of products. Some of the products worked amazingly and better than others, whereas; some worked mediocre and just didn't work.
As she asked if I wanted a sample, in a rather selfish, yet determined mood, I said "no thanks" and as she asked if I still wanted the mascara, I simply blurted out "I'll take it". When she handed me the silver box, I just wanted to take out the mascara and apply it right away. In fact, I did. "Divine Lasting Curves Mascara" is the motto, promoting a sales pitch that lives heavily up to it's name. This mascara truly is a force to be reckoned with, as it provides an array of benefits that range from Curl-Guard and Keep-Curl. What I loved most was the fact I only needed a few coats of this exquisite mascara and my lashes looked incredible. What I truly loved about Courbe Virtuose is the fact that it didn't smudge or rub off, making it that much more impressive.
I truly recommend this product to anyone looking to achieve a slightly curvier, yet curlier lash with a hint of length and volume. Although, you can apply as much as needed, this amazingly fluent mascara was obviously created for those that love glamor, but appreciate it for it's simplicity, rather than the hype of overcoating the lashes. If you are a makeup fanatic that loves to coat the lashes multiple times in hopes of achieving a false eyelash look, forget it. It just won't work. I do not recommend this product to those looking for an extreme or dramatic effect. Applying too much of Courbe Virtuose mascara can actually give you the reverse effect it is suppose to or you are expecting, so please use wisely. As visibly satisfying as this product is, it should not be abused.
Courbe Virtuose mascara by Lancome is sold at Sephora, Macy's, Neiman Marcus's, and Belk for about $24. You can also purchase this amazing fluent mascara at a Lancome boutique or straight from their website - http://www.lancome-usa.com . This mascara comes in brown and in black. Would I purchase Courbe Virtuose mascara by Lancome again? Yes.
Pros: Promotes Curve, Lengthens, Doesn't Clump, Possesses Curved Brush
Cons: Not good for those looking for dramatic coverage or effect, Not affordable to the majority of status quo society
I bought Clinique Lash Power because of a couple reviews I saw online. I thought it looked promising, and when I tried it I wasn't disappointed.
Lash Power stays put on my oily face ALL DAY. And that's quite a feat because I've never found a mascara that wouldn't at least give me slight raccoon eyes.
I'm a pretty harsh judge when it comes to mascaras and I cried, tanned, slept in, and furiously rubbed my eyes with this mascara on. I think I saw one flake come off. Seriously.
Lash Power doesn't give you dramatic, voluminous lashes, but it gives you lashes that are sophisticated, fluttery, and worry free. Aside from the staying power, another plus is that the tiny brush hits every little lash.
For now, this is definitely my HG mascara!
Pros: Doesn't smudge, Lasts all day, Easy to remove with warm water, Tiny brush makes sure every lash gets coated
Cons: None
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Bourjois Easy Waterproof in Black
I have the need for waterproof mascara because I go to the gym with it still on, and I absolutely hate endind up with that black residue under my eye, and I need it to stay on the whole day no matter what happens. What I generally don´t like about waterproof mascara is the time and effort you put on to remove it. I previously used L´oreal Telescopic Waterproof which is very hard to remove with my silicone based two-phased remover. This claims to be waterproof and easy to remove with non-waterproof makeup remover. I find that it is somewhat goopy and clumpy, but that´s probably because I´m not used to volumizing mascara, and I end up having to remove the excess, which is sort of time consuming. I found out that it doesn´t come off with my regular remover, but it comes off easily with the waterproof remover. I said that I wouldn´t buy it again, not because I don´t like it, but probably because I´d like to try something else, and I certainly like it best than my L´oreal Telescopic.
Pros: really waterproof and long staying, does not build up under the eye
Cons: doesn´t do exactly what it claims
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Cover Girl Lash Blast in Black
OMG this stuff is AWFUL. Clumps on top of clumps. I tried the old safety pin trick to even out the clumps. The result looked like black dandruff! This stuff is going straight into the trash can.
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Loreal L'Oreal Bare Naturale Mascara - blackest black
Nothing special here. The good news is that it doesn't clump. It's supposed to be GOOD for your lashes but we shall see. Otherwise it is totally unremarkable and does nothing to increase the appearance of thickness altho it does lengthen my lashes.
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Cover Girl Lash Blast in Black
ok. this thing looks like a carrot :D
despite the huge packaging, it has an awesome formula. & if you can get used to the huge applicator you will get amazing results. it made my lashes go straight up & really tall :] i likeeee. new HG.
Pros: love it! awesome formula. it shocked me.
Cons: huge packaging. too huge.
I heard such rave reviews about this stuff, but I thought it was disappointing. It was very clumpy. I did like the brush on the wand, and I did get rich black color. It didn't smudge either. It didn't do anything as far as thickening or lengthening, and towards the end of the day it did start flaking. I have tried drugstore mascaras that performed better. I thought this was a waste of money, and don't plan on ever repurchasing it.
Pros: Deep color, doesn't smudge, nice brush
Cons: expensive, no lengthening or thickening, flakes off, clumpy
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Maybelline Define-A-Lash
I got his bogo at walmart and i did buy the one in the green tube. I am very pleasantly surprised. I don't however like the bendyness of the applicator where it meets the brush, its "bouncey" , although the green part itself is fine. I just used my lash out brush. I got a very flirty,long, seperated look. I curled after and then applied a light coat of waterproof and it looked amazing! And kept the curl. When i try that w/others the formula is too heavy and they fall after a few hours. I have tried numerous maybelline mascaras and this one is def the best! Next time i will try the volumizing one. Even better, i have been killing my lashes for the last few years with WP and this hopefully will help them go back to the way they used to be.
Pros: color, thickness of the formula, price
Cons: brush
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black
Overall I wasn't very impressed with this mascara.
Although it was very black which I liked I wouldn't buy it again. It was too clumpy and didn't really lengthen my lashes. Also, the brush was awful!! No wonder it didn't lengthen my lashes when the brush hardly had any brisstles on it!
Definatley not one of Maybellines best mascaras.
Pros: Good colour, not flakey, good price.
Cons: Doesn't lengthen, clumpy, smudgey, brush is awful.
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Maybelline Define-A-Lash
I got the Define-a-lash volume version of the mascara that's in a purple/red coloured tube rather than a green tube.
I really like this mascara! Makes my eyelashes crazily long and seperates too. No clumps and lots of volume! I would recommend it to anyone. I like the brush a lot although it hurts wayyy more than a normal mascara wand if you poke yourself in the eye with it! ouch!
Only thing that annoys me is a problem I have with the tube. It has too much suction and the hole is quite small (supposed to be so that you don't get too much mascara on the wand) so you have to pull harder than usual to get the brush out and I sometimes feel like this function has pulled all the mascara off the wand.
Apart from that, a great mascara over all.
Pros: Volumizes, lengthens lots!, separates, no clumps.
Cons: Not too keen on the packaging.
