Current mascaras #2


So I've had my blog for a year... time has flown by and I know I have been very inconsistent with my posting (I blame A levels). However today I want to do an updated post that I did in August all about my current mascaras.

In-between my last post and this one I have used different mascaras however I never thought to post about them, so please don't worry I haven't had these ones open for months on end.

Maybelline, Covergirl, Estee Lauder










  • Maybelline: Great Lash £4.99 - this is a great everyday mascara for those who are after a natural definition to the eyes. The formula/ small brush separates lashes and adds some length to them. However I personally prefer more volume, even on an everyday basis.











  • Covergirl: Clump crusher $7.99 - The slight curve to the wand helps to open your eyes without the need to curl your lashes before hand. This gives the perfect amount of volume and length and also allows you to layer without any clumping going on. Once this runs out I'll have to try the Max Factor version of it.









  • Estee Lauder: Sumptuous extreme £22 - The brush may seem a little scary but in one light coat your lashes will already be thick and almost false lash like (in a good way). However once this sample runs out I won't be purchasing as I think the drugstore offers other excellent mascaras at a cheaper price. 

Hope you enjoyed,

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?
