the great mascara chase part 2

Hi again! I'm back with part 2 of the mascara tales. Part 3 will be tomorrow and then its MAC day hooray!
so I'll start off part 2 with a mascara i got when i went to Florida. The covergirl lash blast volume. I was intrigued to try this after hearing so much about it from other makeup blogs (I'm rather obsessed with makeup and trying to use it to trap myself a husband) and of course from the famous covergirl commercial every cycle on America's next top model (all together now easy, beautiful, covergirl) and i must say i was pleasantly surprised. Definitely one of the best cheaper mascaras. It's a shame about the packaging as its orange and cheap looking-not one to keep in your handbag but overall reasonable amount of volume and length. Grabs on to those ridiculously tiny lashes and makes them look half way decent. One to wear to work/school/around the house.
lancome hypnose precious cells mascara was one i bought months ago, now i love juicy tubes soooo much i didn't think lancome could top those but i dutifully gave the mascara a try....its good...(are you sensing my lack of enthusiasm?) this is the one that's meant to regenerate new lashes quickly and help mature lashes hang on in there. Can't say i noticed a difference but maybe I'm too rough in taking my makeup off or didn't give it chance to work (patience is just a take that song to me) used it for about 6 weeks and now its been demoted to the bottom of my makeup bag. Forgetting about the lash regeneration the mascara is good but....oh...um...what's the word?...oh yes...forgettable
Now on to maybelline. great lash mascara is a classic. Like a little black dress of the mascara world if you will. Every company has a product that it will always be remembered for and this is maybellines. It had the honour of being the first mascara i ever bought and its still in my ever expanding makeup room (not the same tube obviously as that's disgusting) and yes i do have an entire room dedicated to my makeup and yes photos will be coming on here but back to the mascara. Great lash is fun, stable, familiar and comforting. like coming in from the cold and the rain and eating hot buttered toast. One every girl whatever the age should have in her makeup bag.
Unfortunately i cant say the same about the illegal lengths mascara. Obviously a man invented this as they often exaggerate about the length of things. Expected to have eyelashes like a camel but noticed very little difference and no volume. Still don't let that put you off the fibre mascaras. modelco fibre lash is very good. you do get a false eyelash effect with it. You can see how much fibre goes on to your lashes and you cant help but be impressed at the length. What i have a issue with is the price. Its expensive for something that only lasts for 30 uses. especially when you consider i used to pay roughly the same price for individual false lashes but still worth it for a night out if you don't want actual falsies.
I will speak to you tomorrow my lovleys
xoxo as always
