When looking at my forever growing list of things I would like to blog about it came to my attention that I have wanted to review a couple of mascaras. So I decided to put two and two together and create an all in one post of a bunch of mascara reviews! - You's can thank me later! I have been experimenting with a lot of mascaras recently because of 1. My They're Real by Benefit has completely flaked away. 2. I needed a change in mascaras. So it was the perfect time to try out some new mascaras I've had lying around.
Soap & Glory Thick and Fast
I had really high expectations of this mascara and it sort of let me down. It gives you volume, I found this really quick and easy to apply, it is definitely an eye waking-er, buildable and inexpensive - great right?! wrong. I mean yes it does everything I look for in mascaras but the downside is after a short few hours this mascara left me with smudges under my eyes or a typical saying 'panda eyes'. It also had a very unusual smell to it yes I smell my mascaras but the smell was a little off-putting. I do like to use this mascara every now and then if I am not out all day and just want something to open my eyes but, I won't use this on long days because mascara's that smudge isn't a winner for me, unfortunately.
Makeup Revolution The Viper*
Love the name of this product it definitely has a 'bite' to it. This mascara adds great volume, doesn't clump any of your lashes and separates them all evenly which is brilliant. However again I found this mascara smudged but only this time it smudged within 2-3 hours so I definitely think you get your amounts of money worth of £3 on this mascara. It is great for volume and separation it is just a shame it smudges! I also found it a lot harder to apply than what the S&G one did. I will probably use this again on those short trips out because I do love how it separates my lashes! But, I hate those panda eyes.
My Little Beauty Mascara
This mascara I received in my Little 'cosy' box and call me judgmental but out of all 3 of these mascaras, I doubted this one the most. I thought since it wasn't a drugstore or a high-end mascara that this might not do anything amazing. Oh how wrong was I! This mascara is actually incredible! I am yet to discover any panda eyes with this so if I do I will update you are but, regarding volume this was great. Easy to apply to my lashes, very pigmented so you don't need two or three coats, separates all lashes out nicely and the packaging is cute. I could just cuddle this product and tell it how sorry I am for misjudging it.
I think in the future if I have a few of the same application products I will do another one of these posts instead of individual ones!
Have you tried any of these mascaras??
I'm not a fan of Thick and Fast either :( I need to try those other two though!

It has a funny scent to it doesn't it?!
DeleteI feel exactly same about the S&G mascara. It really does add volume and actually looks pretty great when first applied, but it's staying power is just terrible and it smudges worse than anything I've tried before. It's a shame really because it could be such a good product.x
ReplyDeleteI know panda eyes are the worst! I would rather have no volume than panda eyes x
DeleteI've never tried any of these so its awesome that I've managed to read your review just so I'm a little bit more weary! Thanks for sharing :)

you're welcome got plenty to think of trying! x
DeleteLovely post, really intrigued about the two bottom mascaras, although I was disappointed to find out that the Soap and Glory mascara didn't work for you as it's worked great for me and had an amazing lasting power on my lashes, it's a shame it didn't work for you as it's quite cheap too! Although the little beauty mascara sounds like the one to try next! Thanks for the post! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI know maybe I applied it wrong or something I am not sure! xx
DeleteI always seem to pick mascaras that make my lashes look crispy...if that makes sense! Even benefit they're real did me no good! Maybe the my little beauty mascara will bless me! I do love the packaging !! Xxxx

DeleteI have never tried any of those mascaras, but if there are ones to definitely try, the Too Faced ones are incredible and smudge free :)
