Benefit Bad Gal BANG! Mascara

 

Hello loves. Things have finally started settling down in my life, for the mean time. 

I will never tire of testing out mascaras, in fact it may be one of my all time favorite things to try.

I have my favorites but there are so many more on the market to explore!

I've always been a fan of Benefit's mascaras and this one was no exception! Extremely pigmented and coats the lash nicely giving you full luxurious lashes! It can get goopy so make sure before applying you wipe off the excess product. I found this brush to be flimsy now I don't know if this is a fault of the sample size or not because I've never used the full size. I would definitely buy this again but I think as far as Benefit is concerned, Roller Lash is still my favorite.

What's your favorite Benefit mascara?

Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara

 

 

Good morning loves!

I don't know about you guys but mascaras are one of my favorite products to test out. I'm constantly looking for new ones as there's so many on the market I don't think you could ever tire of trying new ones!

Of course I have my favorites, one being Benefit's Roller Lash and the other being Maybelline's Colossal. This Loreal one while good did have a downfall for me. It's a lengthening mascara which makes your lashes look incredibly long but it doesn't give them the nice full volume like the two I mentioned above. I prefer volumizing mascaras because they make the lashes look nice and full almost like a set of falsies. The brush is nice and small with many spikes and coats the lashes with a nice pigmented black coat. It didn't flake throughout the day which I find a lot of mascaras struggle with. I like this but moving forward I'm going to test it out with a volumizing mascara as well and see how the two work together! Maybe Lash Paradise?

What's your HG mascara?

Maybelline's Colossal

 

 

Hello loves.

The lighting in my bathroom where I normally take my photos was garbage this morning as it was dark and gloomy outside. Would you believe me if I told you it's already snowing in Alberta? No, well it is and I hate every minute of it.

The Maybelline Colossal Mascara used to be my HG. It lengthened and volumized the lashes like no other could for me. With so many other mascaras being released I took a long break but recently picked it up again and well...Maybelline's either changed the formula or it really wasn't as great as I remembered it. Don't get me wrong this still makes the lashes look wonderful but it's not an even an hour before I start noticing tiny black flakes under my eyes and around my nose. It flakes off so horribly and they stick so tightly to the skin that you can't even just brush them off, you have to pick it off which usually ends in chunks of my foundation being removed from my nails. I wish this was as good as I remembered because it really does create a lovely look. Ah well, luckily there are many others out there that perform even better than this. Loreal Lash Paradise is a fantastic one!

*Megaphone Mascara?

 

Hello loves!

I was sent a new and innovative mascara to review courtesy of Influenster & Almay. 

I've always been aware of Almay as a drugstore brand but until this point, had never tried any of their products. I had no idea what to expect in terms of quality. Almay isn't a highly talked about brand.

When I opened the package, I was really intrigued by the megaphone brush as I don't think I've ever seen another mascara with a brush like this.

Mascara is one of my favorite makeup products and I have tried a million at this point so I was excited to give this a shot. Unfortunately the excitement didn't last long. The marketing for this is too true, what I mean by that is that on the package itself it says "One Coat MEGA VOLUME". It does create voluminous lashes but you truly cannot apply more than one coat on the lashes without it looking like a clumped disaster. The formula is wet and a ton of product comes out on the brush so you have to be incredibly careful and make sure that you wipe of all the excess product or you'll have goopy eye lashes with mascara smeared all over your lid. For my first venture with Almay as a brand I'm disappointed. I had high hopes but the brand itself has never jumped out at me and this really didn't wow like I wanted it to. 

Have you tried Almay, any recommendations?

*supersize and INTENSIFY

                                  

Hello again everyone! I'm here to talk about Covergirls new products the Supersizer mascara from the Lashblast line and the new intensify me liquid liner. 

THE SUPERSIZER 

                                        

The brush is unique I haven't seen bristles like this on any other mascara and I'm quite the mascara junkie. The way it's supposed to be applied is to

Twirl it while you apply it I tried and this and poked myself in the eye more than once in my attempts so after multiple eye stabbings needless to say I applied it as I normally would and THE VOLUME outcome is a m a z i n g the packaging actually said you'd get 400% more volume this time the claim is real! I don't recommend applying while twirling but if you are a danger seeker go ahead. Not only did this create volume but it added so much length truly an amazing mascara. The formula however is wet and does take a bit to dry so it can get clumpy if you're not careful. I love this though, so great! I used to use Lashblast as my regular mascara but switched to Maybellines colossal  but this may make me a Covergirl user yet again.

                         

                                

The IntensifyMe eyeliner I didn't like at all unfortunately as you can see if you hold it the one way you could apply a thick line hold it the other way and you can create a fine line. The applicator is hard and it pulls on the lash line, not a pleasant experience. The formula is very runny even after it dries one touch and it will smudge everywhere...I had no luck with this at all I couldn't get it to stay on it faded it smudged and it hurt to apply. I don't know if maybe I'm applying it wrong but it really didn't work for me. The one plus I have to mention is the black is BLACK, so ladies if you can find a way to make it work for you please let me know!
