Mini Mascara rundown

Hi Beauts.

If I could only have one product from my make up bag for the rest of my life, it would probably be mascara. I think mascara really pulls a look together, and definitely opens up your peepers. Today I thought I'd do a few mini reviews of the mascara's I currently have open/recently finished.

Accessorize volumising mascara - My sister bought this for me for Christmas and I wasn't too sure about it at first if I'm honest. However, I left it for a week or so to dry out a little and ended up loving it. It gave volume, separated and added length. If you like the false lash effect then you'll like this.



Rimmel scandaleyes Flex - When I spotted the advert for this I wasn't going to buy it. I'd previously tried the original scandaleyes and just didn't get along with it at all, I found it clumped up and dropped under my eyes. The Flex doesn't do either, it makes my lashes look huge even with just one coat. I have a full review here. This is my current mascara and definitely one of my favourites.



Avon Infinitize mascara - I bought this a while back whilst it was on offer and was really looking forward to trying it out as I usually love their mascara's. But I'm completely on the fence about it. The formula is  pretty wet even after being left open over a week, the wand is a little funky too. I've managed to almost poke my eyeballs out a fair few times. Although this does separate, it doesn't lengthen or add any volume so I only ever wear it with another mascara and never on it's own. 



Soap and Glory Thick and Fast - This is my second tube of this mascara. The first time I tried this I loved it but not so much this time round. The first time, this did live up to its name: it made my lashes thick and huge, but this time I needed to apply at least 3 coats to notice any difference with my lashes. If you already have full thick lashes, this may be worth a try.



Benefit They're real - I got this tube free with a magazine and once again I was unsure whether or not I'd like it as the beauty community seems divided with this bad boy. When I first opened this I found it very wet so it dropped and smudged throughout the day, not to mention it was a bitch to take off. However, once I'd left it to dry out for a week or so I really liked it. This made my lashes look huge and definitely false, but They're real....get it haha...ha :P It's still a bitch to remove, just make sure you have a good eye make up remover on hand - No7 beautiful skin is a great one.

What's your favourite mascara?

  2. Oh this was such a great post! I like how you took pics of you wearing them all - very helpful :) I haven't tried any of these (other than a mini they're real too and also found it VERY wet at first), I might have to give them a go. The Accessorize packaging is so cute xx

    Pretty Wonderful
