Description:

"Designed to give you full impact, glamorous and long lashes, it won't let down the rest of your makeup by smudging or clumping.  Magnetic Lash contains luxury hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to nourish and condition, this means it doesn't just make you look fabulous, but is good for your lashes too."

Review:

Right, so first off, I love how this mascara makes my lashes look.  The 'magnetic mascara' gives a dark black glossy coating, separates and fans out the lashes - just with this my lashes looked more defined.  While still wet, you need to dab the 'lash builder' onto the lashes - I tend to apply from the middle to the end of my lashes.  This coat gives my lashes volume and length, and best of all leaves it looking feathery.   Finally, you seal everything in with and another layer (or two) of the magnetic mascara and the finishing look is amazing.  Fuller, longer fluttery lashes that looks dramatic but not overly so as I'd comfortable wear this out during the day!

The only niggle I still have with this mascara is the fall out from the lash builder.  I see specks of fibre over my cheeks and nose throughout the whole day.  Santhilea has kindly given suggestion on ways to prevent this: applying the lash builder from mid to end of lashes only, and seal with 2 coats of the magnetic mascara - both unfortunately I have been already doing.  However, I love the look of my lashes so much with this mascara system that I may just persevere with it and maybe one day I'll figure it out!

Price:  £24.99

Description:

This Clinically Tested Serum is to reveal visibly longer, fuller, more beautiful looking lashes in as little as 2 weeks of daily use.

The exclusive triple peptide complex, boosted by vitamins, botanicals and lash conditioners, supports lash's natural renewal cycle so they look lush, healthy and revitalised - and eyes appear younger than ever.  Works on upper and lower lashes and improves the look of sparse or thinning brows as well.

How to use:

Use on upper and lower lashes: Be sure eyes are clean and free of makeup.  Apply every night with applicator brush to skin along lash line, from inner to outer corner.

Use on brows:  Be sure brows are clean and free of makeup.  Apply every night using the applicator, with short strokes on the desired areas of brows.

Review:

First of all, I have used this for over 3 months now and yes, I have definitely seen a difference to my lashes.  Definitely use this for at least 2 weeks before making a judgement, as I only saw a difference when I hit the 2 weeks mark!  My lashes are looking a lot healthier and darker, and I've actually seen quite a difference to the length and volume of my lashes - especially my lower lashes.  Where, I barely had any lower lashes (or they were so thin I couldn't really see them!), they are now considerably longer and darker thus making them more obvious.  Upper lashes, though effect not as dramatic as my lower lashes, I can still see that they are darker, glossier and marginally longer and thicker.

I have also been using this serum on my brows, however, to this day, I'm not sure that I've seen any changes to them, however, my problem has always been my lashes first, so I'm not too bothered that I haven't seen an effect in this area.

The wand is also great to use.  Unlike the No7 lash serum wand, this Elizabeth Arden one is very fine making application very precise and you don't get serum oozing out when replacing the wand back in the tube so there is no wastage.

Overall, this has to be the best lash serum I've used so far, giving me obvious results.  Would I recommend?...Definitely, especially if sparse and thin lashes is a problem to you.  HOWEVER, this serum is very expensive.  Yes, it works and results are great, but £85.00 just for your lashes seems very steep.  I do love it but even I have to think about whether I can afford to repurchase something just for my lashes, and to keep my lashes looking this much better, it is definitely a lifetime purchase, as with all products like this, if you stop using it, chances are, your lashes will go back to it's original state!

Review: No7 Fanomenal Lash Serum

YouTube, Twitter & Instagram Username: tinaHL82

Description:  This serum with it's unique blend of ingredients gives thicker, fuller and longer lashes in just 8 weeks.

Review:

First off, I have sparse thin upper lashes and even sparser and thinner lower lashes, so whenever a product comes out claiming to make my lashes fuller and longer......I head straight for their counter!

I have used this serum for a good 4 months and wanted to share with you my thoughts on this products and how it worked on me.

Day 1 to 4: My lashes looked darker and healthier (and by healthier, they actually looked more shinier)

Week 2:  Lashes looked glossy, upper lashes looks slightly lengthened, lower lashes looks darker

Week 4:  Upper lashes still looks slightly lengthened (though not greater than week 2) and looks
               slightly fuller.  Lower lashes also looks longer though only slightly

(I did use on my brows but saw no difference in growth where I needed brows to grow!)

I've stopped at week 4 and thereafter, improvement to my lashes sort of reached a plateau.  Like I said, I've used this for around 4 months as I did not want to use the serum after that length of time due to application being around eye area, and I thought I should treat it the same way as I do with mascara.  Though saying that, I know quite a lot was left in the tube.

The only niggle I have with the product is the application brush.  You apply this serum as you would say using a liquid liner.  However, I found the brush way to big which meant it was quite messy to apply and I frequently got some serum into my eyes - which I do no advise at all cos it hurts like hell!!  Also, when popping the brush back into the tube, loads of serum gets pushed out which means 1.Wasted serum and 2.Constant cleaning the opening of the tube.

Overall, I was pretty impressed with this serum.  My lashes did look healthier and I did get a bit of volume and length, which I have to say made a difference to me!  At £22.50, it can be classed as pricey for just a lash serum, however, after checking out other lash serums available, this price is pretty decent.    Compared to prices and results of other lash serums I've tried, if I was to constantly repurchase one lash serum this one might be it based on price and results.  Don't get me wrong, I've tried/trying others that work maybe better than this serum, but price of others means it not feasible to continually purchase, and for products like this, if you stop using, chances are, your lashes will go back to pre-serum condition.

How to use:

Step One - Cleanse the eyes of any make-up

Step Two - Use the applicator to apply a thin line of No7 Fanomenal Lash Serum to the base of the eye lashes along the upper and lower lash lines.

For best results, use the serum every night for at least 8 weeks.

This product can also be used on eyebrows.

Review: Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Volume On Mascara

YouTube, Twitter & Instagram Username: tinaHL82

Description:

Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Volume On has a plastic comb-shaped brush head that creates volume.  The "W-Shaped double sided" design comb allows you to control the amount to volume you want.  The wide-side comb allows you to create extra-thick lashes while the fine-side combs the lashes out to create length.

The improved dark black fibre content contains enamel-like powder which can strengthen lashes and enhance the curling power to give super thick glossy black lashes.

Vitamin E & Hawaiian Fruit Oil repairs lash cuticles while improving flexibility of the lashes.

This mascara has a waterproof formula to prevent smudging & to ensure it lasts all day.

Review: I think this is a great mascara, granted I've never had any problems with all/most of the mascaras from the Majolica Majorca brand.  I'm not usually into this kind of plastic comb design but this one works for me.  It provides enough volume and length after two coats to give me great looking lashes but not so dramatic that I cannot wear during the day.  It is VERY black, and the comb head separates my lashes really well with no clumping.

The mascara formula is slightly wetter than some other type of waterproof mascaras so takes slightly longer to dry (but nothing too major), holds my curl really well throughout the whole day, and unless I've had extremely watery eyes that day, I've not had any problems with smudging!

I've also found that Majolica Majorca brand waterproof mascaras tend to not feel as harsh on my lashes.  Some extremely waterproof mascaras can feel very drying and make my lashes feel brittle.  However, with this mascara (& others from this brand) my lashes tend to feel soft to touch when the mascara is on, and doesn't leave my lashes feeling delicate.

As with all Asian brand waterproof mascaras I've tried, this is one of those that requires a really good waterproof mascara remover otherwise can be quite stubborn to remove in its entirety!

Overall, I think this is a great mascara and because of the wand, will suit most people and definitely recommend for anyone looking for a really black mascara that provides good volume!

Mascara Review: Cargo Lash Activator

So firstly, this is what Cargo Cosmetics has to say about this mascara:

"We asked ourselves: What would make a mascara better? Imagine a mascara that boosts the appearance of lashes after 30 days! Imagine state-of-the-art ingredients that promote lash vitality! In clinical trials, LashActivator™ was shown to offer the optimal environment for healthy lash growth and reduced lash loss. The result was a 169% rate of improvement of lash growth. The formula is made with a unique multi-faceted complex which contains Marine Algae extracts to increase the appearance of lash density; Citrus-derived Flavonoid, a proven ingredient to promote microcirculation for optimal lash health; and a Peptide-biotin complex to help slow the rate of lash loss. Try it for 30 days and see the difference for yourself!"

The Ingredient List:

Aqua (Water), CI 77491 (Iron Oxides), Cera Alba (Beeswax), Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Silica, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Acrylates Copolymer, Tribehenin, Cera Carnauba (Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax), Triethanolamine, Synthetic Beeswax, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Candelilla Cera (Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax), Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Phenoxyethanol, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Potassium Sorbate, Lecithin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Propylene Glycol, PPG-26-Buteth-26, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Laminaria Digitata Extract, Pelvetia Canaliculata Extract, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Panicum Miliaceum (Millet) Seed Extract, Xanthan Gum, Butylparaben, Apigenin, Isobutylparaben, Ethylparaben, Oleanolic Acid, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1.
My Thoughts:

I've been using this Mascara close to 3 months now, and my thought is that it's a good mascara...BUT, lets break it down!  Firstly, it's claim for healthier lashes, with reduce lash loss & increase lash growth - I personally did not see much difference in all these areas, maybe it helped, maybe it didn't, but I can't see a difference, and for these areas to be the main selling point of the mascara, it hasn't done so well.  HOWEVER, as for it being a mascara itself, it's pretty good.  I like how my lashes look after 2 coats, nothing too dramatic, but gives my lashes a beautiful natural look - my lashes were definately darker, there was a bit of added volume, a bit of added length, and truthfully, I have reached for it the most these few months!  I think the thing that impressed me the most, is that for a mascara that doesn't state that it's waterproof, it didn't a really good job keeping my lashes curled to some extent throughout the whole day, and trust me when I say it's usually impossible, and the only mascaras that ever work at keeping my lashes curled are asian brands!

Although, I do love how it gives my lashes an amazing 'natural' look, I have to say, chances of me repurchasing this is slim to none.  Only because for this price tag, I would expect it to do every inch of what it says, & for me, the original reason why I wanted to try this out was because of the 'benefical' effects it should of had for my lashes.

Price: 25GBP
