Favourite Mascara's

There is never a day that goes by when I don't wear mascara. I just don't feel complete without it. It makes my eyes seem bigger and more awake and it simply just adds drama!

From left to right: Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, Essence Multi Action Blackest Black Mascara and Revlon Grow Lucious Waterproof Mascara

I chose my three favourite mascara's that I use almost constantly. I have others but they either too lumpy or there's just something about them that I don't like. I'll review Maybelline Great Lash Mascara first:


Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

This one works really well! I think it has to be my favourite out of the three! The brush is small enough to reach every eyelash, it doesn't clump up and it actually does what the adverts say it should do! It makes my eyelash's longer and curvier. I think the only thing I find it lacks is it doesn't make your eyelashes thicker (my opnion though - others could disagree!) It's a very black mascara, which I like because it creates drama. And did I mention the brush is small enough?? I love that the brush is small because I like to get ALL my lashes with mascara without poking my eyes out with a massive brush!


Essence Multi Action Blackest Black Mascara

Essence Multi Action Mascara is a tricky one for me. I find the brush "picks up" too much mascara for me which tends to clump on the lashes because there's just too much mascara on it. On the other hand I just use an eyelash brush to just comb the clumps out and you are left with curly, long, thick black lashes that make you say wow! I must add that Essence has a wonderful range of beauty products that are just the bomb but I don't think their mascara's are their best product. It seemed to slip away from them. All in all it is a good product and you can work around the bad aspects of it (like the clumping but personally I don't think mascara should clump and you shouldn't have to work around it) I do like this macara but Essence needs to step it up!

Revlon Grow Lucious Waterproof Mascara

Last but not least is the Revlon Grow Lucious Mascara. This is a really good mascara and I try to ignore the daunting brush as it is quite large! Over time you get used to the huge brush and the way this mascara applies you definitely wouldn't care about the brush size! This brush grips the lashes so that it doesn't clump and adds heavenly length. I tend to use the very tip of the brush to grab the small lashes on the inner corner of my eye (if I didn't the "huge-ness" of the brush would mess up your lashes and end up messing up your eyeshadow!) This mascara adds length and makes your eyelashes appear thicker and curvier! I don't like the fact that it's waterproof as it's REALLY hard to wash off when you are removing your make up and it dries out your lashes quite hecticly (I remove this mascara with baby oil as it adds moisture back to my lashes - and it removes the mascara better!) I do like this mascara but I can't help but think how much more I would love it if it had a smaller brush and if it wasn't waterproof!

I do enjoy using these three mascara's daily and they might have a few drawbacks but they are very worth it because of the effect it gives your lashes!
