Top Mascara's

11/20/2011

 

Top mascara rating!!!
There are many things to consider when shopping for a mascara.
The size and shape of the brush, the ingredients and the cost.
Also never forget throw it away after 3 months tops!! or you're asking for an eye infection.  Also do not share your mascara with friends or family.

Maybelline Great Lash Big

Where- Shoppers Drug Mart
Cost- $7.99
Rating-3.5 out of 5
Benifets- > Big brush for great big  lashes!
            > Volume builds with each coat, no clumps or globs
            > Contact lens safe
            >Ophthalmologist-tested
            > Easy on the wallet
I think we have all used this mascara at one time or another.  It has been a classic staple in most  makeup bags because it's good and it's not that exspensive.  This mascara also has other brushes to choose from like the regular Great lash, Great lash Curve, and Great lash Big along with Waterproof and a variety of shade options.
 
* Industry secret: The Waterproof Great Lash Blackest Black is hands down the best value for long wear, smudge proof, waterproof mascara.

Loreal Voluminous

Where- Shoppers Drug mart
Cost- $10.99
Rating- 3 out of 5
Benifits - > Your lashes will be five times their natural thickness 
                 >Volume-Maximizing Brush thickens lashes
                 > Won't smudge or clump
                 > Ceramide-R conditions and keeps lashes soft.
                 > Easy on the wallet
This mascara has a real puch of drama!!  It really thickens and lengthens your lashes and makes them stand out.  But the reason it doesn't get a 5 rating is because it goes bad quickly!!   After about a month it doesn't perform any more and starts to clump and flake.

Benefit They're Real

Where-  Sephora
Cost- $22
Rating- 3.5 out of 5
Benifits -  > L
engthens and  curls
                   > Volumizes and  lifts 
                   > Separates lashes     
                   > Long- wearing
                   > Glossy 

This is a very good natural mascara! For those that are already blessed with  long beautiful lashes but looking for some definition, this is the one for you.  It brushes through your lashes combing them out so they look  glossy, curly.  This mascara won't smudge or dry out and comes in 3 different shades.

Dior Show Mascara

Where- Sephora
Cost- $24
Rating- 4 out of 5
Benifits-   >Large brush 
                   >Makes lashes  ultra thicker 
                   > Curls and lengthens
            

This mascara is a cult favourite.  Teens and young women love this ulta glam mascara because of its huge brush that provides a very heavy, thick, full look.  Makeup artists all over the world choose this mascara due to its high intensity.
But I have to say I find it dries up quickly and starts to crumble after about a month and a half.

 Lancome  Definicils High Definition

Where- Sephora/ The Bay
Cost- $25
Rating- 4.5 out of 5
Benifits-      > Shapes and separates
                       > Coats each lash base to tip
                       > Lengthens
                       > Fragrance free
                       > Ophthalmologist-tested

This is really a great mascara.  This is one of my personal favourites with its slender brush making it super easy to get right to the base of the lashes coating each lash making them look long and seperated.  This will give you a natural well-defined and seperated look and comes in 5 diffrent shades.  It's Allure Magazine's Best of Beauty Award Winner.

Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes

Where- Sephora/The Bay
Cost- $25
Rating- 5 out of 5
Benifits-     > Lengthens and lifts
                     > Separates and defines
                     > Unique cone shap brush
                     > Safe for sensitive eyes
                     > Optomologest teasted

This is my number one go to mascara for clients and for my personal use!  This mascara does it all.  It lengthens each lash while lifting them into a nice curl and thickens them. The most impressive thing about this mascara is that it is super light weight and flexible on the eyes.  You won't have your eyes feeling heavy and it won't flake off so it's perfect for sensitive eyes and contact lense users.
