Mascara Review - Finally

Hey Kids,
Just got back from my Europe trip. One word. Beautiful. Now lets move on to business. Highly anticipated Mascara Review. Hah. I have decided to do the eyeliner and mascara reviews separately cause I just feel like it. So lets get a move on shall we?







Rimmel is a well known "drug store" cosmetics brand which originated from... yep you guessed it!...London. I believe it is now available in Singapore, Watsons and we all should be very happy and thankful to the smart people at Watsons for bringing the brand into this country where longer, fuller lashes are much needed.


First Up!

1) Rimmel Glam' Eyes Mascara











First of all....BRAVO RIMMEL. BRAVO. This is one of the best mascaras I have ever owned. I love how flexible the brush is (so its easy to reach the inner corner lashes) and how pretty the packaging of the tube is. But most importantly, it separates your lashes beautifully and really delivers on its volume and lengthening promises.


Overall Verdict
5 out of 5 lippies


2) Rimmel Magnif' Eyes
















This particular mascara is suppose to "open" up your eyes by lengthening your eye lashes. One word. Crap. Didnt do much for my lashes. Hated it. Waste of money. Dont get it.


Overall Verdict
-1 out of 5 lippies



3) Rimmel Sexy Curves















As the name suggests, this mascara is suppose to curl your lashes with a lengthening effect. What can I say about this one... hmmm... its alright I suppose. Its not as bad as the "thing" I mentioned above but not as good as I thought it would be. Someone the brush feels kinda hard on my lashes and it kinda hurts when I apply it on. It might just be me...but I dunno. You get the effect of the curve not much but you can definately see it.


Overall Verdict
2.5 out of 5 lippies














Loreal... you guys all know about Loreal right? So I shall not bore you with their details.


1) Loreal Volume/Shocking Mascara













Happy I'm in love with my best friend. Lalalala. I LOVE IT!! Absolute LOVE. It is sooooo goood. And the comb on this thing...FANTASTIC. The mascara wand itself looks like a comb so its great for separating your lashes. The gold colour wand is an enchancer (applied first) is also great!! This one really helped me out alot. Girls with really sparse lashes....this one is definately the one for you!!! Note though that this is more for volume rather than length. Length wise....it wasnt too great.


Overall Verdict
4.5 out of 5 lippies


2) Loreal Double Essence Mascara













This one is very similar to the Volume/Shocking mascara but not as good. I dont know, some people have said that its the best mascara they have ever used but I dont really care much for this one. I mean it looks like it would be great but really....its just ok.


Overall Verdict - You can Skip IT
3 out of 5 lippies







Maybe she's born with it. Maybe she's maybelline. Nuff said.


1) Maybelline Great Lash Mascara













This one is great if you want that natural looking mascara look but a total nonsense if you want to appear like you have fuller lashes. So naturally, me not wanting the too natural look completely hates this mascara. This mascara should be best friends with the Rimmerl Magnif' Eyes mascara. They should hold hands or wands (hahaha) and jump off the bridge or something cause honestly...they suck. I know alot of make-artist like to use this brand for photoshoots but I hate it. If I had my kryptonite..this would be it.


Overall Verdict
-3 out of 5 lippies



2) Maybelline XXL Mascara
















The only XXL thing about this mascara is the width of the tube. Everything esle is just plain wrong. It clumps, its fat and it doesnt work. Dont waste your money girls.


Overall verdict
1 out of 5 lippies


3) Maybelline Full and Soft Mascara















Ok so I know I dont really dig the natural look but when I feel playin' my lips up I'll go subtle on the eyes and thats when this one comes is handy. It does give you that ommph that you need but not so dramatically. I really love this one too. Its great and it doesnt make your lashes feel HARD or BREAKABLE. Good mascara.


Overall Verdict
3.5 out of 5 lippies
I absolutely love Cover Girl. But sadly it has been discontinued in Singapore for whatever reason so unfortunately you cant get this brand here. But bless your little hearts cause Internet has the power to make every one of you happy. Online Shopping babies.
1) Cover Girl Lash Blast
Ladies!!! Screaaam!!! This is the best MASCARA EVER invented by any MANUFACTURER!!! It is realllll good like seriously, seriously FANTASTIC. If any of you ever get the chance to buy it...grab it. Coz it just good. Volume - Checked. Length - Checked. Gorgeous Lashes - Double Checked.
Overall Verdict - Dont get it if you dont want beautiful lashes
6 out of 5 lippies

Sorry if I was harsh on some of the reviews but I am extremely passionate when it comes to mascaras... hahahaha
PS: All the reviews are done on drugstore mascaras so all prices ranges between 15 to 25 $S.
Till Then Chicas.
