Voluminous Million Lashes



 

 

This mascara is currently my number one favorite. I have it in the blackest/darkest available shade, and I use it almost every day. It gets all the lashes, and I feel as though it does a fantastic job of giving me an appropriate length with a really nice, full volume. The packaging is really sleek and simple, but still classy, and I love the fact that the top clicks onto the bottom to lock it into place. It lasts all day, and never leaves any of that black residue under my lower lashline. One of my favorite things about this mascara is the smell! It smells like freshly picked honeysuckle and orchids, which is so delightful. All in all, I give this mascara 5 stars.

The Colossal Volum' Express

This is my second most used mascara, but I definitely still love it. This seems to give me a lot more length than I had originally thought it would, and the volume is really good. It doesn't seem to get all of my lashes evenly though, and it takes a while to get all of them evenly. It lasts all day, and I have minimal (a small amount) black residue under my eyes by the end of the day. I have the Classic Black shade, which is the darkest black. Again, the overall smell of this mascara is phenomenal, as it has a similar honeysuckle smell to it like the Voluminous Million Lashes. My least favorite thing about this is the wand, which I wish was more similar to the L'Oreal one above. I love the bright yellow packaging which is super cute and a good statement piece, and it makes it very easy to find in my big purse!




The Falsies Flared

 I really enjoy this mascara, and I am really unsure why I do not use it more often. I have this mascara in Very Black. I originally purchased this mascara because it was creating a big buzz in the makeup world and had gotten a lot of media attention via television and internet. I do like this mascara a lot, which was surprising because I am not a fan of the spoon shaped wand usually. It does get all of my lashes nicely in about 2 coats, and if I change up the positioning of the brush, it can create a nice "flared" effect. It does leave a little bit of residue after a while, but all in all I do like this product. The purple packaging with the wings is really fun and edgy.

Lash Blast Volume

The Covergirl Lashblast was the first mascara I used almost every day, but truth be told I don't find myself using it anymore. I only really use it when I have misplaced or run out of my other ones, and it is because of the residue that it creates after wearing it for a few hours. I have Very Black shade, and I feel as though it does do a good job creating volume like it should. It really doesn't do much for length, which is not a surprise to me. The fallout I get from wearing it for a bit is the worst thing to me about this mascara. I have dark circles under my eyes to begin with, and days where I don't wear concealer and foundation, I don't want to draw any more attention to my darkness my having black smudges and dust below my lower lashline. I have retired this mascara as I have gotten older, but I do still feel as though it is a good mascara for those who are just starting to wear makeup to experiment with.

If you've used any of these products, or if you have different choices for mascaras that you love, I would love to hear from you! <3
