Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi everyone, today I’m testing and reviewing 13 different drugstore mascaras! I really wanted to do this because I have short, sparse lashes and I’m always on the hunt for that holy grail mascara!
Make sure you let me know what your favourite drugstore mascaras are and why!

    Such a comprehensive review of all of these! Thank you! I love a few you tried today. I’m a makeup And skincare junkie and been an MUA over 20 years. (Not practicing anymore though) and I have told so many people to not spend a fortune on high end mascara and stick to drugstore for that. You can get some amazing mascara in the drugstore and considering that you should change your mascara every 3 months (some is 6 but not often!) It just is a waste of money buying high end when you can get amazing mascara from the drugstore. I have so much high end makeup and skincare and I absolutely love to compare it to the drugstore counterparts. So many dupes out there. Some things just have no comparison but so many these days do! The drugstore is coming through with the quality lately!

    Brilliant revue - I have been using the same mascara for 30+ years,(Cover Girl Professional 3-in-1) but it's becoming increasingly difficult to find, and when I do, I'm finding that it is probably old stock and is dry right from the start and is useless after 3 weeks. I have thick (double layer) lashes, but not particularly long lashes, and I need a brush that will get through the lashes. I'm not a fan of plastic brushes, prefer a bristle, and preferably a curved brush. I have been experimenting with so many different brands and your video is such a help - especially the side by side at the end. Really liking the look of the NYX worth the hype.

    I have smaller eyes/sockets and would like to find an eyelash curler made for smaller eyes. No matter which mascara I use my biggest complaint is how fast they dry out in the tube. I have short lashes and after using some of these mascaras I have never been able to get the length that you have….wow! If you find the brush too big for bottom lashes use one of the brands with a tiny brush for those.

    Hi Sheryl! I have very deep set eyes & I’ve always used the Tweezerman Eyelash curler, it’s basic but does the job well! ☺️ Great tip about the bottom lashes, I usually save my skinny wands for the bottom like you say- otherwise I just make a real mess 😂 I’ve found some mascaras definitely dry out faster than others, which is a real pain. The search for the perfect mascara sometimes does seem never ending 😄🩷

    My personal favorite is Maybelline Lash sensational. The wand is perfect and it coats the entire lash. I will say I always coat the top of my lash first, then under pulling up. It actually covers the tips of the lashes better. Sometimes the tips don’t get covered without that step. I’m 51 and my lashes have gotten thinner, BUT I started using castor oil on my lashes at night. I just cover the entire lid, and actually lightly rub it up and done to cover the lashes and get into the base. Castor oil helps your hair, nails and skin and is the only oil that actually penetrates into the skin even down to the bone. ( you can make a pack and heal organs even). It improves eye sight also so this is why I put it over my entire eye area. My lashes are long and full, ( like they were in my 20’s) and so are my brows. It’s even filling in my hairline that was recessing. ❤

    Great info Tina, thank you so much! I know a lot of people that swear by Castor oil, but I tried it on my lashes once it blocked one of my oil glands and I ended up with a chalazion on my eye (a small bump) and it was painful! May I ask what specific castor oil you use? I would definitely give it a go on my 90s eyebrows! 😂 Thanks again for sharing such useful information 🥰💗

    @@CarmelNicoleBeauty oh no! Maybe if your eyes are sensitive to such a heavy oil just rub a small amount between your fingers then softly brush it on your lashes. It will soak in and pull the oil into the base of your lashes but won’t be heavy. I use Handcraft blends 100% pure castor oil expeller cold pressed. It’s helped shrink my pores, reduce wrinkles and even helped with broken capillaries on my cheeks. It is a very sticky heavy oil. If it’s to sticky for you mix it with vegetable glycerin or aloe Vera gel. However don’t use it on your eyes.

    Hi Carmel I’m pleased to say I love your channel have just subscribed! One question what is the difference between the maybelline sky high in the pink tube & the sky high in the black tube I’m slightly confused are they the same or is it waterproof in the black tube hope you can help me !! Look forward to seeing more of you ! Ps you have beautiful eyes & lashes so jell xxx thank you Linzi 😊

    Hi Linzi, thank you so much for your kind words- and a huge welcome to you ☺️💕 So as far as I’m aware, the Sky High in the black tube is called ‘cosmic black’ which means that the black colour of the mascara is supposed to be more intense with ‘cosmic black pigments’. I haven’t personally tried it, but I imagine the deeper black colour is the only major difference 🥰💗 xx

    Another Maybelline you might want to try is Great Lash. There are two different wands though. One is very ordinary and one is fat and short (labeled big lashes on tube). The short wand is teardrop shaped so you can really get individual lashes and bottom lashes.

    I don’t think we have Lottie London in America. But the L’Oréal telescopic is the best for lengthening. So, fragrance free means that it does not contain any fragrance OR any masking fragrance which masks the nasty smells put out by the chemicals. I never use fragrance free for that reason. Unscented means it carries a masking fragrance but doesn’t allow chemical smells out.

    These are my favorite drugstore mascaras: Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof--I love the curve and size of the brush (not too big as I have smaller eyes) and it stays all day. Two quick coats suffice. Essence Volume Stylist---I only need a coat of it for my lashes to look long and volumized. It smudges a little on my hooded eyes (because I wear sunscreen everywhere, and that's a non-negotiable) Looks-wise, I love Lash Paradise Waterproof...but I find it difficult to remove, even with my cleansing balm. The NYX "Worth the Hype" and the L'Oreal "Panorama" look great on you!

    This is an absolutely immaculate review video, I really think you’ll gain quite the audience soon enough! Video and audio quality? Stellar. Your voice is incredibly down to earth and soothing while also feeling “real” and not like you’re acting for a camera. I find with a lot of American-based influencers, their reactions can come across as quite fake which may just be a culture thing (I’m a Northerner from England afterall 😂 quite a difference). So it’s nice to see another Brit in the makeup mix! I’d love to see another comparison video of mascaras, possibly ones from East Asia! I’ve tried a couple over the last year and they do absolute WONDERS for my straight and short lashes. I suggest Clio Kill Lash (long curling is the one I used), Heroine Make Advanced Film is another nice option. I ran out of the Clio one and ordered myself the Judydoll 3D Curling Iron mascara after seeing so many good reviews. The wands on the Asian mascaras are a lot thinner than Western ones and it’s a lot easier to get closer to the lash line, they’re also fairly lightweight and hold a curl so well! :) Great, great video looking forward to seeing more! ❤
