Maybelline New York XXL Pro Volume Mascara - Very Black: Review, EOTD


Mascara is one of my favorite of all eye makeup products and I love to experiment with different mascaras that can give decent length and volume. I usually look for dramatic volume more, even for my day time looks. Absolutely love my lashes to look more lashy any time!
I've been using this particular mascara since around a week now and have completely loved it. Check out more details and review below:

My experience with this mascara

Since, I've read quite good reviews about mascaras that come with a lash primer as they give intense volume without causing clumps, I'd similar expectations
from this mascara as well. It has this two step formula where you coat your lashes with the lash primer first and then go ahead with the mascara. It does fare amazingly in giving good length and some amount of volume to my lashes. The good thing about using a primer before the actually mascara application, is that each lash gets separated and coated well with the thickening formula. Once I apply mascara over it, the difference gets easily noticeable. Also, I have never experienced any sort of clumps on my lashes, even when I've gone overboard with my application. Absolutely love it.

The only dislike that I feel about this mascara is that it is not waterproof. Though it doesn't cause too much mess around my eyes when comes in contact with water and does get cleaned up easily using a wet tissue, it does spill around to cause raccoon eyes if I happen to be outside and get drenched in rain. I prefer to wear more of waterproof mascara, especially in current rainy season. There is a waterproof version too of the same mascara, so I'd like to get that one next.

Also, this mascara may not be your on-the-go mascara if you are in a hurry. Of course, you can anytime skip the priming step and just apply the mascara, but if you want to get the full effect, you need to have to wait for 20-30 seconds after applying primer so that it dries up, before you go with actual mascara application.

Overall:

It is a good black mascara that gives dramatic length and some amount of volume to my lashes. If you are not too particular about non-waterproof formulas then this can definitely be a great buy for every day makeup.

Rating: 4/5 (B+)

Availability: You can purchase this mascara online from Brigette's Boutique.com (Currently it is on sale and can be bought for  $4.95)

Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts  The best way to spend four hours of waiting period in Dubai transit is to do shopping.

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away. The second thing I bought sometime back was this Neutrogena Moistureshine LipGloss , which apparently happens to be my first tinted lipgloss too, as before this I was used to only lipsticks or lip balms.It took me a while to get used to the concept of glosses.
