Current mascaras

Hello, so today I thought I would share with you the different mascaras that I  currently have open and alternating between.
Maybelline, Rimmel, L'Oreal, L'Oreal

  1. Maybelline: the colossal volume express cat eyes £7.99 - out of the falsies and the rocket this has to be my least favourite, first of all it has a potent scent that brings on a headache which is a big turn off. Once you get used to that the length that it gives isn't bad but it all just seems a too little flat and lifeless for me to want to repurchase.

  2. Rimmel: scandaleyes (extreme black) £6.99 - the giant wand I can deal with and considering this is my second one you would think it's pretty decent however with this tube the formula is just wet...making those lashes far more likely to clump which is definitely not the desired look I am aiming for. So I'm not sure whether this was just a 'dodgy' tube but I certainly won't be risking it again!


  3. L'Oreal: false lash telescopic (waterproof) £10.99 - now I'm not really one for waterproof mascaras as I never have the problem of smudging but I wanted to get one for my summer holidays that I had coming up. The wand on this one is a million times better then the original telescopic, it gives roughly the same amount of length but so much more volume which you can build up to the desire effect to suit day or night. This formula doesn't budge at all in swimming pools or in the sea but when coming to remove at night it comes off like a dream with my waterproof eye make remover.


  4. L'Oreal: telescopic (carbon black) £10.99 - this mascara gives a good amount of length and a little amount of volume however when I wear this I have to avoid curling my eyelashes for some unknown reason... but overall it's an average everyday mascara for me but won't be on my shopping list again due to its in some way sharp plastic wand?

What mascaras have you all been enjoying recently?
