I decided to do a battle of my mascara's. I tend to buy drugstore mascara as I know I have to throw these out every 3 months. For the past couple of months I have been reaching for the same mascara and now consider this my HG mascara. I won't tell you which one it is yet but I decided to do this post to see if any of my other unloved mascaras can win me over. Please not my eyes get redder and redder as it goes along, rubbing off 8 mascaras within the space of 15mins really does hurt ^_^

i think majolica majorca looks the best on your lashes. i have it but its so hard to remove and i always end up losing a few lashes :(. You should really try Lancome Hypnose and YSL Fauxcils. their both my HG mascaras but i prefer YSL's :). Its pricier but very worth the money.
ReplyDeletethanks for the concise review^^
ReplyDeletei'm going to try out the loreal mascara next❤
great post! so helpful.
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic with Benefit Bad Girl Mascara!! I think i'm gonna go get myself one. Hopefully it works wonders on me too. :)
ReplyDeletewow this is the best blog :)
ReplyDeletei have been masacra hunting, i have been using Maybelline Great Lash but like you said it doesn't have as much volume, its cute to go to school but i really want to try a few of these out especially Majolica Majorca Lash Expander
DIORSHOW IS AMAZING great choice and i highly recommend you try Too Faced LASH INJECTION it's my absolute favourite. It will make maybellines great lash look like utter crap! : ) good luck
