Loreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara

It's a bold statement to make but I think I may have found my new favourite mascara! (I told you it was bold!) I've been using this for about a month as I like to give mascara a good trial period as I find you need a little practise when you swap to a new brush and formula but I was blown away from the first time. The brush is a really unique looking thing (see photos below) but it combs through lashes so well and gives me great volume, length, and separation. 

My lashes are quite long naturally (no bragging intended!) and I find lots of mascaras make the ends of my lashes stick together and clump up. I also find many mascaras transfer to my brow bone and I end up looking like a panda (my biggest pet peeve!) but I don't get that with this mascara hence why I'm here telling you how awesome it is!

NEW! The Falsies Push Up Mascara

I've had quite a few Maybelline mascaras and always liked them so when I saw they had a new one out it piqued my interest.

And while me and my mum were out shopping one day she bought me one because she's a sweetie and it was buy one get one half price so we both had one!

The Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara* claims to give dramatic lift to the lashes for a pushed up effect. The brush has cup shaped bristles which scoops and lifts lashes and the formula itself delivers instant volume and holds the lift in place. 

I have to disagree with the claims here, I can't say I noticed any extra curl or lift to my lashes and the volume is pretty non-existent. My lashes are naturally long (lucky me!) so volumising mascaras is really where it's at for me but they do mascaras that are a lot better for volume than this one (the Rocket, Colossal, and the original Falsies all spring to mind). I find the brush holds too much product and while the plastic bristle brush is really good for getting right into the root of the lashes for separation it leaves clumps of mascara in my eyelashes which is not a good look! I've tried to persevere to see if it gets better in time (like the Lash Sensational mascara seems to do) but for me it's just getting worse and leaving more and more clumps to the point where I'm probably going to bin it (and I'm a make up collector, its rare I bin something I've not used up!).

I always find mascaras to be very much a personal thing in that I might love one and the next person might hate it so it's something to bear in mind but for me this one just doesn't cut it!

Have you tried this mascara?

Worth The Hype? Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof

Exploding all over the bloggersphere lately is Maybelline's Lash Sensational Mascara, so, is it worth the hype?

First thing I'll say is that I have the waterproof version as I always struggle with mascara smudging under my eyebrows - not a good look! That brings me to my first point about this mascara, it is without a doubt, VERY waterproof! My precious Nip and Fab Cleansing Fix failed to remove it completely, and my Garnier Micellar Water also failed to get it off too. I ended up using a Loreal Cleansing Oil that I had lying around which eventually did the trick. So my advice would be if you buy the waterproof version, your going to need a dedicated oil based remover to shift the bugger. However, you can't say it's NOT waterproof!

On to the actually mascara and I'm glad to say, yes, it's worth the hype! The wand is plastic, which I usually don't like but the bristles on this really do get into the lashes and give excellent separation. It has a slight spoon shape which I also like as I feel spoon shaped wands fit around my eye better (if that makes sense?!). The brush itself is quite flexible, but no so flexible that you get mascara everywhere, but just enough flexibility to allow you to work the wand into your lashes. The formula is excellent too, creating volume with stunning separation. It claims to be a lash multiplying mascara and I absolutely agree with that.

Benefit Rollerlash

Good morning! Today I have a review of the Benefit Rollerlash Mascara. Now I know I'm a bit late to the party with this one but I got a free sample of this in a magazine and wanted to give it a good try out before I posted about it. 

I'm not usually a fan of plastic bristle brushes but this one I really liked, I felt it really did grab every lash like the claims suggest and I've always gotten along well with spoon shaped brushes as my lashes are naturally long just lacking a bit of curl and volume. The one thing that let's this down BIG style is the formula of the mascara itself, by the end of everyday I wore this it had smudged all under my brows as you can see in the photo below. 

If you just ignore my werewolf eyebrows, you can see the smudges and this happened every time I wore this mascara which is such a shame because otherwise I'd have really liked it. Unfortunately the same thing happened when I had the Benefit "They're Real" Mascara too. I'm certainly glad this was a magazine sample and I didn't waste my pennies on it! So a thumbs down from me I'm afraid! 

Mascara is however one of those things that depends on the person and I've seen many good reviews on it but unfortunately it's just not for me.

Benefit Rollerlash Mascara is available HERE for £19.50.
