Mascara Review

If you were to ask me what the one makeup product I couldn't live without was, it would without a doubt be mascara. I rarely wear eyeliner so I like to have mascara that will add volume and thickness my lashes, without too many clumps.

I've tried and tested a wide range of mascaras trying to find the perfect one and I must say I've come pretty close, I now tend to use a small range of mascaras day to day depending on the look I’m going for. Here are a few of my favourites;

Rimmel London SCANDALEYES

Rimmel Scandaleyes £6.99

Also mentioned in My Everyday Makeup

I usually layer this on top of a lengthening mascara as Scandaleyes provides a lot of volume to my lashes however if used on its own will leave me with short, clumpy lashes. If you prefer more natural looking lashes, this mascara is not the ideal one for you as clumps do form however they can be controlled by wiping some of the excess mascara off the applicator brush. You can see from the size of the brush that this mascara will give you very thick and full looking lashes.

L’Oreal Miss Manga

L'Oreal Miss Manga £8.99

Also mentioned in My Everyday Makeup

This is one of my favourite mascaras; it adds both length and volume without a lot of clumps. The applicator brush allows you to easily get right into the lashes in the inner corners of your eye.

Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express

Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express £7.99

The Rocket Volume Express mascara isn't good or bad, it does the job of a mascara however doesn't have much of a wow factor. It gives more of a natural look to what I prefer and never gives me clumpy or stringy looking lashes.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless £7.99

This mascara is great for lengthening lashes as it has added fibres, it has a very think and long applicator wand which makes it really easy to apply. It doesn't add much or any thickness to the lashes so is better for a more natural look.

Benefit Bad gal Lash

Benefit Bad gal Lash £17.50

This mascara in my opinion if fairly similar to the Rimmel Scandaleyes however it’s a lot less clumpy and thick so overall doesn't give the full lash look. It provides volume but not to same extent as Scandaleyes.
