Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE mascara. When I was younger, I bought only (what I thought) was the best mascara. (Hello, Lancome' Definicils...)
Now, as a wife and Mom of three, living on one income makes it a bit hard to splurge on mascara. So in mind with being frugal, I recently purchased eight tubes of very cheap mascara. Because I know that I usually ask a woman with beautiful, full, long lashes what mascara she uses, I decided I would blog about each different mascara (along with pictures of course) to hopefully help the fellow mascara lover in a future purchase of mascara. :)
Here is my rating system: BLECH 0pts, FAIR 1pt, GOOD 1pt, AWESOME 2pts.
There are five questions: A) Consistency of Mascara B) Ease of Use C) Anti-Clumping D) Anti-Flaking E) All Day Wear
Each questions can have a total of 2pts each for a total of 10pts. 10pts would equal some pretty perfectly fabulous mascara!!!!! :)
The Great Mascara Challenge:
Maybelline Intense XXL Volume + Length Microfiber Mascara
A) Consistency of Mascara? It was BLECH. I hated the white stuff. It dried on my lashes. The actual mascara had an okay consistency.
B) Ease of Use? BLECH. I felt like I had to pull the brush through already mascara'd lashes because of the white primer stuff.
C)Non-Clumping? BLECH. It clumped!
D)Non-Flaking? BLECH. It flaked badly. I felt like something was in my eye all day.
E)All day wear? BLECH. It didn't look great at the end of the day.
Overall: 0pts of 10pts
This mascara was horrible, in my opinion. If it were the only mascara available I would cry, however, I would deal and hope it got better with more than one use!
My (very brave) no make-up: BEFORE
(oh my word, my nose is huge)
AFTER:
*Please note the white stuff stuck on my face. Yep, that is the "primer" stuff that stuck like glue. It was so hard to get off!!! I DID NOT wear any eyeshadow or liner in this photo, but either way the mascara looked horrible. BLECH. :)
