Who doesn't love finding a new amazing mascara?
I decided to do a round-up post today with some mascaras I've been using lately. I really believe you can get amazing mascaras on a budget and I don't bother paying a lot of money for them myself unless I really want to spoil myself. My favorite drugstore brands when it comes to mascara are Maybelline and Essence, and L'Oreal makes some good ones as well.
I have six new mascaras on the market which I've been reviewing for a while now, and I think I definitely have some solid opinions on them! Let's see which ones convinced me and which ones left me cold...
Avon Big & Multiplied Volume Mascara
Unfortunately, this one was not a winner for me. I have to say I'm so very disappointed because it looked really promising - I love big brushes like this one has! However, the mascara isn't black enough and really doesn't do anything... I can apply 3 or even 4 coats and my lashes will still look natural. I think the fault is in the formula, not the brush. Really a shame as I thought it would be a new favorite. You can purchase it here, currently only 6€.
L'Oreal False Lash Superstar
I just love double sided mascaras, they're so 2006 :P I was excited when I got this in the mail to try and I wasn't let down. One side of the mascara primes with white fibers, while the other adds blackness, volume and length. I love this so much, but I only use it for special nights out because it's kind of a lot of work and I'm lazy. But it gives a great effect with really full, voluminous lashes. Love it! Purchase it here for 14,5€.
Maybelline Lash Sensational
This is a favorite of mine which I've repurchased quite a few times. It has a plastic brush and it does an amazing job separating the lashes even when I'm wearing 3 or 4 coats. They never look clumpy. Gives great length and volume, can be natural or dramatic. Doesn't look fake though! I'm a big fan of Maybelline mascaras in general. The price is great as well, only 10,5€ here.
L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes
This has a plastic brush, and to be honest, I have a preference for normal brushes, but the plastic ones just work so much better on me. This is a great mascara with the perfect combination of length and volume, and one I've repurchased for the third time now. Just a staple in my collection and a really good, intense black as well. Available here for 9€.
Max Factor Voluptuous False Lash Effect
Max Factor mascaras are often compared to Covergirl. I've never tried CG, but I love MF mascaras! I remember when they first came out with False Lash, I walked around with eyelashes so crazy long people would stop me on the street to ask which falsies I was wearing (SERIOUSLY, it happened once!) I was so excited to try this new offering from them and I'm happy to say it doesn't disappoint. It has a special plastic brush, and while I'm not a fan of the tip of it (too much product build-up), I love the rest! Great for length and volume and heavily recommended from me. 14€ in European drugstores.
Whew, this was quite a long post. But we still have to talk about my blogger of the day, and I've chosen Saša from What Sasha Wears today. I just shot an outfit post with her, and I'm always in awe of her style, she just has the best clothes and knows exactly how to pair them up! Plus, she's such a sweet girl... She won't be mad when I rob her wardrobe, right? *wink*
What is your favorite mascara of the moment?
Tudi mene Avonova ni in ni prepričala, bolj kot se trudim z njo manj upanja iman zanjo. Me je pa Lorealova toliko bolj prepričala:)
ReplyDeleteJa, se čisto strinjam. Žal Avonova ni nov favorit :(
DeleteL'Oreal Volume Million Lashes je bila dolga leta moja stalnica. Trenutno je moja absolutno najljubša maskara Maybelline Lash Sensational. Sploh ko se že malo posuši, je naravnost fantastična za volumen in definicijo. Za Avon se še odločam kako bi jo opisala. Mi je všeč volumen, ampak se mi zdi, da ni niti približno tako gosta kot Maybelline, pa tudi nekako ne podaljša jih preveč.
ReplyDeleteJaaa Lash Sensational je enkratna :) Avon me žal ni navdušila.
DeleteL'Oreal is probably my favourite drugstore brand for mascara, i also love Seventeen ones too!

Oh I wish I could get Seventeen here! :( x
DeleteI'm the only person on the planet who finds the Lash Sensational mascara pointless and not useful. I swear! I'm not a fan at all. Having said that, I might try one of the others ones you mentioned. I tend to stick with Benefit Cosmetics and Too Faced Cosmetics as both of their mascaras are A+'s in my book!

It really seems like you're alone! :P Unfortunately I can't get Benefit OR Too Faced here, but I'll stock up when I go abroad x
DeleteHahaha mene je tudi ena vprašala, če imam umetne trepalnice ko sem nosila Max Factorjevo maskaro :D Ampak ko sem ji jo dala za preizkusit jo pa ni tako prepričala. Meni seveda ni všeč, ker je ni vodooporna in mi ni tako dobra kot Essence I Love Extremes wp in Maybelline the Sensational wp :)
ReplyDeleteČarobna je :) Ej, a I <3 Extreme se sploh še dobi? Sem jo že nekajkrat iskala. Vodoodporne maskare pa sama ne nosim, razen poleti. Mi ful razdraži oči :( x
DeleteRoza tudi jaz že dolgo nisem videla, čeprav bi morala še bit. Črno pa sem, jo ima prijateljica in ji je najljubša.
DeleteSuper, hvala za info! x
DeleteI've always gone for drugstore mascaras, there's some really good ones out there! The only high end mascara I own is one I got given as a gift, and as much as I love Benefit Roller Lash, definitely think there's drugstore ones just as good :)
ReplyDeleteJust Little Things xo
Totally agree... though I'd still love to try some high end ones, hehehe :P x
DeleteDobrodošla v moji omari kadarkoli:)

SASHA
Hihi, hvala x
DeleteBolje bi bilo, če bi naredila kakšno sliko kako maskara pride na tebi, za lažjo predstavo seveda :)
ReplyDeleteJa, se strinjam - žal imam trenutno preslab fotoaparat :(
DeleteI love maybelline mascaras! x
ReplyDeleteZoe Mountford x
Same! <3
DeleteMaybelline has the best mascaras in the drugstore, in my opinion! The Rocket is my all-time favorite but right after it is Lash Sensational. I went through mine really fast, definitely need to pick it up again, absolutely love it!

I am all about mascaras so I really enjoyed your post! I think that L'Oreal and Maybelline have the best drugstore mascaras, Avon has disappointed me with theirs, and my all time favorite is Diorshow. :)
