The Princess snoring is adorable! 🐾🐶❤️

So happy to come home after my shift and see you posted a video! Brilliant topic, I’ve been wondering about the different mascaras. I love these type of objective videos, thank you! So good to see you!

Great to see you posting video !

The Definicils wand is exactly how I like a mascara wand. I really don't like very fat wands and I don't like the plastic comb style ones. Now I just want a mascara that is super lengthening and leaves everything very defined and natural looking.

Yay!!! Glad to see you posting!👏👏❤️

Thanks for the video! Think i’m going to get Lancôme Le 8 Hypnôse in emerald green 💚

Great video! I loved all the closeup demos! ❤️

I really enjoy the Lash Idole mascara as I find it gives me length and volume. What I find about many mascaras is that the formula works better for me after a few uses. I have found a favourite mascara and that is the Gucci. My lashes look incredible and with only one coat. The snoring Princess Grace was adorable 🥰

Can't wait to watch this video!! 😍😍

This is a great video concept! I've wondered about the differences between all these Lancome mascaras too. I wore the Hypnose for years. Thank you for your excellent content.

Evening Kiki thanks for sharing Lancôme mascara to be honest with you I think it’s the only one I’ve not tried Looking good your skin looks beautiful see you in the next one 🌷🌺🌸🌹

I think you looked best in the first Hypnose. I am going to try it, too. I love the look of M. Big on my lashes, but it smudged a lot. My go to for the past year or so is the Idole. Makes my long thin lashes even longer and full. Does not smudge or flake on me and I use their Genefique Pearl serum and eye cream... usually my downfall with any mascara. I also use the Idole liquid liner and really like it. Love your channel! Seeing your comparison was unique and helpful. Update: I bought the Hypnose Drama and it is not a good fit for my long, thin lashes. It makes them too long and the lashes stick together in fat spikes, even with just one coat. With two coats my lashes are just grazing my brows and the effect is just weird - Drama indeed!

I tend to like a curved wand which give a really nice lifting effect, so I will try Lash Idole when I need my next mascara. I've loved the Elizabeth Arden Grand Entrance mascara (red tube) for that fluttery lash you like. On the daily I just use a tubing mascara and they don't usually do much for volume, more for lengthening (except for Hourglass Extension) which gave both. I quite liked the Monsier Big on you.

Thanks for the review! I used definicils for over 20 years back in the 80s and 90s. Then got into Trish mcevoy tubing mascara, Chanel and YSL. I V use revitalasj now and have my longest lashes ever but they are still not thick-ordered an o assortment of smaller tubes from the Sephora sale but will have to give the Monsier Big and the hypnose a try. The Idole did not work for me-maybe had a bad tube. Love your videos. -appreciate your calm demeanor yet occasional wit💕

Thanks, Teresa. I didn't love the Idole either.

I want to get a brown mascara, Lancôme is one of the few nicer brands that offers one…but they never have the brown in stock at the stores. I have only tried Definicils, I didn’t love it. My favorite mascaras are Urban Decay Perversion, Ilia Volumizing, and Bobbi Brown Smokey. The BobbiBrown is a drier formula, and perfect from when you first open the tube. I also just got the Tower28 mascara everyone has been talking about - that’s a good one too, also great from first opening. I want to try the Dior lash primer, think I’m going to pick that one up today.

yes, I was admiring your sweater all thro'' this video, it's beautiful & so perfect for your lovely 'look'. I rarely use mascara, even my old Maybeline I tissue before applying, as I get it all over my lids. At 77 my lashes are very long, not a bad 'thing' , but I hate getting it off, if I've finished my makeup. Love your videos.

I’ve been using the Lash Idole and really like it. Thick enough but not clumpy. I have short, sparse lashes so nothing is going to make them spectacular. I use it every day if I leave the house. It doesn’t run or smudge if you don’t blink. I use the Almay Oil-free Makeup remover pads in the plastic jar and it works like a charm. The only thing I have to do now is add some of the liquid version in a bottle to add more moisture to the pads. Over the years I noticed their pads are not wet enough. It works so well for me I will compromise by adding more liquid. I’ve never used the non-oily one because I wore contact lenses for many years. You can also buy it in a bottle but then you have to supply your own pads. I buy mine CVS but you can find them at other stores too. Good luck.

Hi. Abby Bliss White does high end makeup like you. She has a smaller audience too. I think you do a really good job of sharing products and techniques so even if I’m not going to use the high end product I can get similar results. Please continue your channel.

Fantastic video! Our mascara preferences are vastly different. I have long very blonde eyelashes so I look for the most volume I can get. If it is too lengthening it ends up all over my eyelids. I used to really like the Monsieur Big but then I tried Pat McGrath's Fetish Eyes and I have yet to find anything better. However, I do really love the packaging of the Le8.

I used to wear Lancome waterproof mascara for years and loved the Bi-facil product to remove their mascara. I have found that as I have grown older and my hair us silver/grayI don't like to wear black mascara but prefer brown mascara...to me it seems to give me a softer, less harsh look. Since they have mostly black mascaras now, I've switched from Lancome to which ever one's I can find in brown...L'oreal Voluminous Mascara seems to be it for me as long as they make it in brown.

I swear I've tried every mascara. I always go back to MAC extended play. The smaller, skinny brush is the key to natural long, wispy lashes. Other great mascara's in this category are Victoria Beckham Future Lash, L'Oreal Telescopic (don't get the waterproof formula), Clinique Lash Power. Also good, for shiney fluttery, but not lengthening lashes: Clinique High Impact, YSL Vinyl Couture.

Hello, I am late to the game here. I have long lashes which require curling to keep them from hitting my glasses, which I need all the time, not just readers. I need waterproof because when curled my lashes hit my crease line and transfer. I also stopped using any lower lash mascara a few years ago because it was a just a big transfer raccoon eye. I wore Dior Overcurl waterproof for years. The last tube was horrible. This summer I tried Lancome Lash Idole waterproof. It flaked off after a couple of hours. Two weeks ago a Lancome rep talked me into Monsieur Big waterproof. OMGoodness, this is the bast mascara I have ever tried. I can even wear this on my lower lashes and not a trace of transfer. It is not clumping. no flaking, and gives my long lashes a really pretty feathered look. This lasted all day and still looked as pretty as the when first applied. At 65 I need all the help I can get. Your videos have been very helpful.

I've recently bought the Monsieur Big Mascara. I find it sort of fans out my lashes but at the same time, many lashes stick together, which many lengthening mascaras do. I don't like having spider legs as eyelashes. I also found it to be a very wet mascara, very messy putting it on, but that could just be me. I did enjoy the extra length and intensity of this mascara though. Not a mascara I would purchase again.

You and I share the same preferences for mascara. Defined but feathery. I am very lucky to have long lashes. The last thing I wanted was for someone to ask if I was wearing false lashes. As such a clumpy mascara was a definite no. And your are right volumizing = clumping. I didn’t wear eyeliner until I was in my 40s and pencil only, not liquid and not black. (Fussy aren’t I ?) because that made my lashes look fake. L’Oréal is another line that has a ton of mascara formulas. I have tried many but the Telescopic formula works for me, emphasizes length without goop or spikes so unlikely will try Lancôme. Princess Grace’s cozy snore is delightful. My pup, Scotty (nope not a terrier, a black lab pit bull, hound mix) snores too. 😊
