Description:

"The massive, corkscrew-shaped brush boasts both long, lengthening bristles and short, volumizing fibres to grab, coat, and condition every single lash for a lavish, layered effect.  The flexible formula, a combination of Panthenol and vitamins C and E keep lashes healthy while red algae increases keratin resistance for maximum lash flexibility.


Review:

First of all, like I said in the video, I'm glad I didn't see the size of the brush head at the back of the box otherwise I wouldn't have brought it!  The brush head is massive!  However, I'm really glad I did as I really like this mascara.  The corkscrew shaped brush with the long and short bristles meant I could coat every single one of my lashes.  The formula is not too wet, kept my lashes curled and didn't make my lashes feel brittle or dry, and there was no flaking.


I usually use one coat, maybe two if I was out for the evening, and that is more than enough to give me long volumous lashes.  The wand separates my lashes well, and is really black.  The effect is quite dramatic just after one coat, lasts all day with minimal smudges.

The only downside is, contradictory, the size of the wand as the large brush head meant I couldn't really get right into the roots to lift my lashes more.  However, if the wand was smaller, I'm not so sure it would have the same effect, and if I love the mascara without using it to its full potential, I envy those who can!

So overall, do I recommend it?....definitely!

Price: £18.00 for 15g

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:

High definition curves and care mascara for visibly regenerated lashes. 12h hold, smudge proof, easy to apply, easy to remove.

Review:

Firstly, not to be mistaken for their "Virtuose" mascara, this actually has "Precious Cells" written on the lid:


This mascara is suppose to give volume and length while nourishing and strengthening your lashes.  I have used this mascara for 3 months, and find that it does subtly give volume and length making your own lashes look naturally darker and more defined i.e. your lashes but better!  So nothing too dramatic. However, it did hold my lashes curled quite well which usually goes down well with me.

As for regenerated lashes?.... I would say my lashes did look healthier while using this mascara, again nothing too dramatic, but after applying the mascara, my lashes felt soft and not brittle or stiff at all, it is also really easy to remove so combined, probably saved a few of my lashes!

Smudge proof?....not for me.  Though to be fair, I have really watery eyes, and did find transfer at the corner of my lower lash area.

So overall, high definition curves?....not so much.  A good daily mascara that makes your own lashes look a lot better while somewhat taking care of them?....that's more like it!  Would I recommend?....sure, for everyday wear when I want more nicer normal looking lashes, I can see myself using this one only because it is also suppose to look after my lashes as well.  Yes, it does smudge a bit however, for someone who doesn't have watery eyes, it could work well for them.  And lets be honest, we all need a "my lashes but nicer" mascara as it's not feasible to always have dramatic lashes at school, university, work or the local supermarket!

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!

Review: Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara



YouTube, Twitter & Instagram username: tinaHL82

Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara:



Key Features:  Evenly coats eyelashes without weighing them down. A must-have mascara to create beautifully extended and lifted-looking lashes. Sweep on using our cone shaped brush and watch your eyes transform lash by lash into a dazzling wide-eyed gaze. 

Price: £23.00

Link:  http://www.lancome.co.uk/_en/_gb/makeup/eyes/mascara/hypnose-doll-eyes-by-alber-elbaz-16207t.aspx

Review:  First of all, the brush head.  I love the cone concept as the large back of the brush would be great for volumising the lashes & the front smaller end would be great for getting into the inner corner of the lashes.  However, I found this mascara wand too big which made the larger end of the wand difficult to use without getting mascara all over the place, so I ended up using the smaller end of the wand to coat my main lashes.  Needless to say, the smaller end of the wand was too big to coat my inner lashes, which sort of defeated the whole concept of the mascara wand.  Though the bristles themselves were good, coating & separating my lashes wells without clumps.

I have to say I was disappointed with the volumising effect.  It did make my lashes look thicker but not as thick as I was expecting considering the description given by lancome.  Though I will concede that this may be due to not being able to use the wand to its full potential.

This mascara that I bought is also the none waterproof version, though I know they now have a waterproof version out, which may make my next point moot.  This mascara smudged everywhere, and when I say everywhere, I had more on the corner of my eyes & below my lower lashes within an hour or two after application than I had on my lashes themselves.  Like I said, I know this is not the waterproof one, but still, some still should stay on the lashes right?  RIGHT?  Instead, it melted and moved down my eyes which made me look like I'd been crying mess!  & no, I was not wearing this in summer, it was in the middle of a freezing winter!

This mascara also took a long time to dry after application so you'll need to be careful and wait for it to dry before doing anything else.  It also did absolutely nothing to help keep my lashes curled....at all.  The scent is also really really bad, it has a strong chemical scent that lingers way too long, and I ended having to hold my breath while applying the mascara.

So all in all, my experience with this particular mascara is pretty bad.  Granted, there has been great reviews out there about this mascara, but it just definitely not for me.  I'd only used it a handful of times to give it as many chances as I could, but in the end, was such a waste as I just couldn't use it.

Mascara Review: Heroine Make Kiss Me Long & Curl Mascara



Twitter & Instagram: tinaHL82
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/tinaHL82

Review:
This is without a doubt my favourite mascara of all time!  It does everything I want from a mascara - lengthens, smudge free & curls!  The one reviewed in the video is the long & curl mascara from Heroine Make Kiss Me, but I also have and love the volume & curl, and as mentioned in the video, I often use one coat of each to give me both the perfect volume & length.  BUT, the most important thing about this mascara is that it holds my curls without leaving any smudges under my eyes for the WHOLE day!  I have the most stubborn lashes that often refuses to stay curled  - and I have tried a plathorea if waterproof mascaras.  I've found that Asian mascaras are the best at keeping my lashes curled, however, many still leaves me with a smudge under the corner of my lower lashes - even though I never put mascara on my lower lashes - I wear contacts and have very watery eyes so I'm very cautious about putting mascara on my lower lashes.  The Heroine Make Kiss Me Mascaras are the only ones that doesn't leave a smudge there most of the time.

The only negative I can think of with this mascara (and most Asian brand mascaras) is that it stays put a bit too much.  They don't budge at all, and this means removing them fully can be a pain, and if not removed properly, can lead to a build up to mascara on your lashes.  I've found a couple of mascara removers that seem to work on Asian brand mascaras (and I suspect all eye makeup removers from asian brands will do a brilliant job at removing these mascaras), and they are the Laneige waterproof eyes & lips, and also Heroine Make Kiss Me eye makeup remover wand and/or liquid.

I am trying other Asian Brand mascaras such as Majolica Majorca & will be reviewing these in due course, but I suspect there will be a lot of comparisons to this one!

Mascara Review: Cargo Lash Activator



Follow me:
YouTube:  www.youtube.com/user/tinaHL82
Twitter & Instagram: tinaHL82
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
