part two of my empty products. all mascara, not all used, but some i just plain hated.
1. Make Up
For Ever Smokey Lash (Sample)- another mascara from the lash stash box and one
that i loved! it gave my lashes the exact effect that i like. kinda grungy yet
full and voluminous. it does dry out quickly, but not quickly enough where i
didn't get enough use out of the sample. so instead of buying a full size, with
each sephora online order enter coupon code "REBELLIOUS" for a sample
size of this mascara. (thank you to youtuber/blogger ChelseaWears for this
excellent tip. also, she is very funny, check out her youtube channel).
2. Bourjois
Volume Fast & Perfect Mascara- this mascara is something i picked up on my
last trip to europe, as Bourjois products cannot be purchased in the US. i
bought this because of the pixiwoo sisters (who if you don't watch on youtube,
go now). the wand is supposed to spin, but the battery in mine was dead and i
didn't feel the need to go and buy a new battery. i enjoyed the formula of the
mascara itself. it was a rather dry consistency, and it was more volumizing
rather than lengthening--which are both attributes i look for in mascaras. i
would definitely repurchase this mascara and highly recommend trying this
product, if you can get your hands on it.
3. tarte
gifted Amazonian clay smart mascara (Sample)- another mascara from the lash
stash box, and another one i really didn't like. i found that it just really
didn't give my lashes the effect that i wanted, and therefore, i just didn't
reach for it. if you enjoy mascaras that are nice, but still keep your lashes
looking quite natural, then i would give this mascara a go.
4. Clinique
High Impact Mascara (Sample)- around the holidays, Sephora tends to put out
boxes with different products in them for gift giving. however, i like to buy
them for myself as a way to test out many different brands products. this
sample came from one of those Sephora gift boxes that contained two full size
mascaras and a bunch of minis. as to the mascara itself, i really enjoyed the
high impact mascara. i know Clinique recently released an XL version, which i
am planning on purchasing as i liked the original formula so much. i definitely
can see the high impact mascara becoming one of my favorite mascaras.
5. Cargo
Triple Action Mascara (Sample)- this came in a little cargo trail set i bought
and the only of the three items i didnt give to my sister. however, i hated this
mascara. it claims to thicken, and it did not. it claims to curl, and it did
not. and it claims to lengthen, which it slightly did. also, it made my lashes
look like i had nothing on them at all. all in all, it's a no go.
6. stila
forever your curl mascara- one of the full size mascaras that came in last year's
Sephora lash stash box. i hated this mascara. it really did nothing for volume
and fullness, which is what i prefer a mascara to do. i have rather long
eyelashes as it is and often times lengthening mascaras make my lashes too
long, especially before i go contacts. i'd put on mascara and then put on my
glasses only to blink and get mascara all over my lenses. ew. also, this made
my lashes look like nothing spectacular, and i don't think that it did anything
for "saving" or "aiding" my curl.
hope this helps anyone in their hunt for a great mascara!
