 I love this mascara. I have tried both types of brush and prefer the micro to the mega brush. I think its to do with my eyelashes are not the best. I can cover all my upper lashes perfectly and I do not poke myself in the eye with the micro brush, my inner and outer corners of my eyelashes are covered and noticeable.  I have found that my eyes look better with only the top lashes covered rather than top and bottom. My eyelashes used to touch my eyebrow.  With this mascara and eyelash curlers they do get there. It does not smudge it does not run when caught in the rain. It is the perfect mascara and brush – please bring out brown, purple, green or blue.

 This is the first mystery item that was in the Golden Hour Kit.  A brilliant black mascara that gave me definition and length. My lashes looked curled without using curlers, not clumped together.  I like to use the tip of the brush to make sure that I have covered the inner and outer corners of my upper lashes.  It is a great black mascara for every day wear as it doesn’t smudge or flake.

 Product: M.A.C. Extended Play Gigablack Mascara Who for: Anyone and everyone First impressions: Narrow bristle brush After one week: Brilliant everyday mascara After one month: Maybe my new go to  Stockists: MAC Cosmetics, Boots, John Lewis This was the mascara included in the Summer Vibes Kit exclusively available at Boots.  I am used to using a rubber brush with my mascara rather than a bristle brush.  This is a brilliant brush that coats every lash and separates them.  It does not clump, drop, or smudge.  Even when I am using my eye drops.  It is great everyday mascara as it gives definition to your lashes.  I think I will be replacing my Benefit Badgal Bang with this. 

    Product: ELF Lash It Loud Mascara   Who for: Anyone who wants mega volume that your lashes look fuller, bolder, and longer   First impressions: Strange Brush   After one week: Love the way, my lashes look   After one month: The volume   Stockists: ELF Cosmetics, FeelUnique, Superdrug, Boots   I was sent this to try from one of the many magazine beauty clubs that I subscribe to.  The brush is different to other mascaras I have used as the bristles are slightly further apart.  I can get into the inner corners without any problems, and they are emphasised brilliantly.  I did not notice any smudges or drop off, and I wore it when it was raining heavily and extremely hot.  It is a great mascara for everyday wear.

Product: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes   Who for: Anyone who likes to wear Volumising, lengthening and lift-effect mascara.   First impressions: Weird shaped brush   After one week: No dropping, no smudging simply great wear.   After one month: OMG my lashes are great.   Stockists: Charlotte Tilbury, CultBeauty, FeelUnique, Harrods, John Lewis, SpaceNK   Heard the hype about this and as I love my Benefit Badgal Band mascara.  So, I thought I would ty this and it is a god alternative to benefit.  The brush is weird as it has flat edge which I noticed that it helped my lashes curl which is great as I do not like lash curlers as I have a habit of trapping skin in it.  It is a great black and formula is not a sticky one as in my lashes do not clump together.  It dries quickly so that you can apply a second coat without any issues which is great.  My lashes look long and healthy.  

  Product: Nars Climax Extreme Mascara - mini   Who for: Anyone who wants extreme volume and black pigment in one coat   First impressions: Not sure if I can get into the inner corner   After one week: Love it   After one month: Love it   Stockists: Nars, LookFantastic, Cult Beauty, Boots, FeelUnique, Space NK,   Did you know that if you have an Alexa or Google you can ask them to send you samples, neither did I until I had an email from a company (Beauty Markdown).  I tried it and got this mini.  I like a mascara that makes my lashes look their best and this mascara did it.  It did not smudge or flake.  Just stayed how I had applied it.  If I wanted a more dramatic look, I would wait a few seconds and apply a second coat.  It did not clump just separated and made my lashes look black, defined and with volume.  My lashes did not feel heavy or crunchy nor did they stick together when I blinked ...

Tube of Maybelline The Falsies Instant Lash Lift Look Volumising Mascara   Who for: Anyone who wants the look of LVL without the hassle First impressions: Weird brush shape – like a slim figure of eight. After one week: Not as good as Benefit BADgal Bang After one month: To be updated Stockists: Boots, Superdrug, I was sent this as a prize for being a reviewer of the week on GLAMGEEK.  I have lashes that are long and a little straight, and like a mascara that can lift and curl them – I had high hopes for this mascara.  Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed as it didn’t give the lift or look that I get with one coat of Benefit BADgal Bang.  Maybe its me because I found the brush strange and hard to apply the mascara, I didn’t feel the pull and lift of my lashes that I get with BADgal Bang.  It was Ok at the outer corners to apply but I couldn’t work out the best way to hold the brush to apply mascara to the inner corner withou...

L'Oreal Bambi Eye False Lash Who for: Anyone who wants the false lash effect without wearing them First impressions: Weird shaped brush After one week: Just doesn’t give me what I want with one coat After one month: Looks clumpy with extra coats Stockists: Superdrug, Boots I was kindly sent this to review by GlamGeek.   The brush is densely packed with bristles and an unusual shape.   I found that I had difficulty in applying it to the inner corner lashes then again it maybe the way I was holding the brush.   There were very little flecks of mascara under my eyes at the end of the day, but I didn’t find that the curl to my lashes lasted as long as Benefit Roller Lash.   It also didn’t give me the length or definition of my lashes that all of Benefit Mascaras give.   One coat was not enough the get the desire effect I would have to apply three or four coats.   I prefer a mascara that gives me definition, length, volume in one c...

Packaging and tube of NYX On the Rise Volume Liftscara Who for: Anyone who wants Lash Lifts but are scared First impressions: Weird Brush After one week: Like the matte finish After one month: Needs two or more coats Stockists: NYX, Boots, Superdrug, CultBeauty, LookFantastic, ASOS, Debenhams, Selfridges I was kindly sent this to review by NYX.   The brush is a weird shape which I have never seen on a mascara before.   It is hourglass shaped but also rounded.   The bristles are all the same length.   It also has a swiper in the tube so that the brush has the right amount of product on.   I found it difficult to apply to my inner corner lashes as I couldn’t figure out how best to hold the brush to get them – I did poke myself in the eye several times.   It applies lovely and has a matte finish which I love.   The first week I only wore one coat and didn’t notice much lift effect to my lashes.   The second week onwards I a...

Packaging and tube of Benefit BADgal Bang Mascara in Blue Who for: Anyone who wants volume that doesn’t drop First impressions: Very bright After one week: I like that it applies as a bright blue shade but dries to a darker blue After one month: Love the way my eyes and lashes look Stockists: Benefit, John Lewis, Debenhams I am a girl who doesn’t try coloured mascara, I always stick to black or brown but mainly black.  I love BADgal Bang and how my lashes look.  This has made me switch to coloured mascara.  You have all the benefits of BADgal Bang instead of black it is blue.  At first it applies as a bright blue as it dries it changes to a darker blue.  My lashes are separated and voluminous without looking clumpy.  The Christmas tree brush helps apply from root to tip and all the fine lashes at the inner and outer corner of your eyes.   My eyes lined with BADgal Liner in Midnight Blue witho...

Lola Mega Volume Mascara - Brown Who for: Anyone who wants to add drama, volume and definition to their lashes instantly. First impressions: The formula and brush seem different After one week: Love the look of my lashes After one month: Brilliant can layer with other mascaras Stockists: Lola MakeUp First of all, I must say that I like the fact that the packaging is different not only in shape but the feel.  For someone who has problems with their vision this is a major plus point for me as I know which mascara I have without looking, I don’t need to wear my glasses to try and find it.  The brush is slightly larger than the standard mascara brush though the tip of the brush is just the right size to be able apply to apply mascara to the outer and inner lashes perfectly.  The formula seems thicker than the Infinite Lash mascara.  You can still apply more than one coat of the mascara without it clumping.  The formula is long lasting a...
