Mascara Madness

YAY!!! my first Make up product post!!! I'm so excited that I am finally getting this blog going and that I am semi confident enough to put this one out there everyone to read. I hope you enjoy its only a quick post in what I hope will be a series. Mascara is something I use most days and despite the fact that packaging says you can use for six months once opened my eyes do not agree. I have a tendency to rotate through a couple of mascaras and generally only use them for a couple of months. So onto the mascaras in question the last couple of months have been Almay's One Coat Get up and Grow in 010 Blackest black, Maybelline's the One by One Volum' Express in Satin Black and Australis' Lash TLC in blackest black. 

I start with the Maybelline as out of the three it was my least favourite. At the time of buying this mascara it was really the price that was the selling point after seeing it around for $12-14 dollars. I found it in a clearance bin in Woolworths for $8.95. I was in need of a new mascara and thought I would give it a go. The brush is one of the rubber ones with little spikes to catch your lashes the back of the tube says that it catches, coats and cleans, in this respect advertising is true and lives up to its One by One title as lashes a caught, coated and separated. On the down side however NO volume. I expected darker and fuller lashes and really all I got was lashes that looked like my own and felt a little sticky!!! More natural look that volumised. I'm not sure whether this is a design issue with the brush but if volume and thicker lash look is what you want don't bother. 

The next is Almay's One Coat Get up and Grow this mascara I received in a monthly subscription box. I was excited this mascara claims to help lashes grow longer and vitamin infused formula helps guard against damage and breakage. To be honest I'm really not sure whether it did or didn't what I loved about this mascara is the brush its a regular bristle type brush just a little larger than your used too but makes sure this mascara lives up to its name of one coat!! And it means ONE coat you need no more to do its job and it does clump slightly if you do but you don't have to do anything else one swipe and go. I also really enjoy that you pull the brush out and don't have a huge glob of mascara on the tip no need for a tissue to wipe excess off or ending up with product build up at the top of the tube!!! It's not a volumising mascara but you do get definition. 

The last is my current favourite...... Australis' Lash TLC (Tender Lovin' Care) conditioning mascara. At the moment this is my go to mascara it gives great definition  coats and separates the lashes without clumping. Its bristle brush is slim lined perfect for the inner corner lashes and does the lower lashes without smudges. The brief does say volume, lengthening and holding lash curl which I guess it does but its not a falsies look its more natural and defined like the Almay one coat you don't need heaps of coats for it to do the job but I do recommend using a little bit of a wiggle when you coat you top lashes just seems to help coat lashes better. This mascara also dries quickly without stickiness!!! Again I recieved this in a beauty box subscription but you can easily pick up from target and priceline.

Ok!! So much for a short post!! Hope everyone likes this please give feedback.

Will talk to you all soon

Thanks
