Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Mascara ~ Pictures, review and eye swatch ~ Its's PINK ♥   ♥   ♥ 

Since the first very moment I read about this mascara I knew I wanted it.

I am not addicted to pink but somehow I was drawn towards it ,, 

I am glad I bought it.

I have long lashes with decent volume but I love drama eyes ,, fluttery lashes big black & beautiful.

I wanted more volume to my lashes which I couldn't get through Maybelline colossal volume express mascara or from Lakme Lash Artist. So, in the search of a volumizing mascara I chanced upon this and I tell you I lub it ♥   ♥   ♥

My take on it :

• It gives length and it gives killer volume ~ Trust me on this. If you have sparse lashes and would love to have dramatic lashes making you look oh~so~gorgeous then my dear this is for you !
• The tiny lashes that are barely there but still there ~ This mascara would evenly coat those lashes giving them proper definition.
• Its pink ~ pink ~ omg pink ~ for the pink lovers :)
• The volume which it gives in one coat is in my opinion more than sufficient for daily wear, so the more coats you apply the more gorgeous fluttery looking will your eyes be.
• The 500 tiny bristles are good for everything,, they will coat your lashes , separating them nicely and you won't get clumpy lashes.
• Its water proof ~ I was in rain for an hour with this on ~ and my eyes were perfect. It didn't run off at all.
• The bottle is sturdy and closes with a ~tuck~ sound.. I do open n close it a couple of times just to listen to that :D weird ? Nope ;)
• The wand is pretty long. Of good material .
• The bottle is quite long, I wasn't expecting it to be that long. (okay it's not that long but it still somehow looks huge maybe cos of it having a flat belly :p )
• You need to work your hands fast and not wait for mascara to dry before applying second coat. It's important. really. 
• Don't flutter your lashes much while its still wet. You might get tiny spots of mascara on your eye lid this way.
• If you are going to apply many coats,, lets say 3-4 then be ready for a heavy eye effect. But dun worry you won't feel anything after two or three minutes.
• It doesn't have any smell so yayiee :)
• It fans out your lashes pretty well.
• I didn't curl my lashes so as to see its curling properties and as you can see my lashes look pretty curled up.
• It doesn't clump my lashes at all.

 

A few glitches

• The wand has zero bristles right on its tip therefore it catches lot of mascara liquid there and since the wand is long you might transferring it on your face while applying mascara.
• Nope, nothing else. ;)

All in all I really really like it. You can see the pics and observe how much definition and volume it is giving to my lashes. I am in lub with it and I would really say that it is a Must Buy.

Price : 595 INR

Qty : 10 ml

Shade : 51 Max Black

Recommendation : Yes please, Its pink, its perfect, It will give you the most gorgeous looking eye lashes ever.

It doesn't feel heavy on your eyes (after 2 mins). Though It doesn't look all that natural but still it looks pretty.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

What Lakme has to say about this 

The ultimate in definition and separation. This must have mascara delivers stunningly defined eyes. The unique brush separates and curls each lash and coats it from root to tip without ever clumping. Smudge-proof, tear proof and easily removable.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

I was using the Maybelline Colossal Mascara for around 2 years and was actually not very happy with the results as time passed by. Initially it was ok, but as I used it more and more I felt it was not actually what I want for my lashes. It clumped and did not make my lashes curl, but yes full points for making the false volume effect.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

So, when I thought of buying a new one, I was all game for the Bourjois one but somehow I went and bought the Lakme Lash Artist and I must say its one product that actually makes your lashes curl.

I had a Lakme Mascara before the Maybelline one but I don't think so it was the Lash Artist, it was something else and gave satisfactory results to me. But then the Maybelline colossal range came up and I went and bought that one.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

The positive points of the Lakme Lash Artist are :

~ It fans out my lashes beautifully.

~ No clumping on the lashes

~ I like the wand applicator, the brush is good and separates the lashes quite nicely.

~ Packaging is sturdy

~ Odor free, I dislike cosmetics with any kind of smell.

~ Gives length to the lashes

~ Easy to remove too.

The negative points of the Lakme Lash Artist :

~ Non-attractive but I can live with that ;)

~ You have to retouch the mascara after 3-4 hours.

~ No false volume effect.

~ No composition list anywhere. this freaks me out sometime,,with so much being written about cosmetics and their unhealthy composition in the newspaper these days.

Nothing major of a con actually except the missing composition list,,,, else its good value for money .

Price : 225 INR

Net volume : 6 ml

Shelf life : 2 years

Here is how it looks on my eyes.

sorry for the not so clear pictures , my camera is not working at the moment.

Maybelline ~ Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner , Colossal Volume Express waterproof mascara ~~ and a gift :)

I have been a loyal fan of Maybelline since long time,, never had thought I would be slightly disappointed by a maybelline product,,,hmmm,,but hey !!! so what one thing didn't work as i expected,,the other worked wonders and the gift is soooo cute :)

Maybelline colossal volume express mascara is a nice mascara,, provides volume to the lashes as it claims,, also its waterproof ,,

Maybelline Colossal Volume Mascara

~ instantly provides volume to the lashes
~ non-clumpy
~ dries soon
~ collagen enriched formula
~ colossal brush

My suggestion ~ don't overdo it because it will turn clumpy..trust me,,its a pain to remove it if over done,,
It is not going to give you a false lash effect because it make the lashes join and then clumps it even more,,so you may find gaps in your lashes if you over use it. Use it lightly and it will do its job,,

Also if you insist on doing heavy lashed eye,,then between applying coats do not let the mascara dry on the lashes,,or in simpler words,,,move your hand pretty fast girl,, :)

p.s. do not think its comparable to the high end mascaras,, its just a regular one,, use it sans high expectations and it will be a good thing for you.

The mascara wand is good,,i guess the slight issue is with the formula.

Net wt : 10 ml
Price : Rs. 275


Maybelline Eyestudio lasting drama gel eyeliner is a thick consistency liner,, not so soft and not very hard either,, i like liners that are more soft than this one is ,,but still I consider it a nice one and in future I would like to buy one in brown shade..

Maybelline eyestudio lasting drama gel liner ~ 01 Black

I bought the shade 01 Black ~ its black but not that black (remember lavie ad :D LOL) exactly is my opinion with this one,, my eye color is Nut Brown,, so until n unless I use a jet black or a proper brown liner,,I don't feel okay with the result..

So, i would have liked it much more if the shade was pitch or jet black,,

I have issues with the consistency also, with time i have found that it has hardened a bit,,but still not something that should make this a no-no..

Also it does not wear off your eyes,,unless you rub your eyes hard (never do it,,never !!)

~ The pencil brush is fine,,does its job well,,just clean it after every use,,else you may ruin it.
~ Packaging is fantastic,,, I like it ..

Net wt : 2.8 gm
Price : Rs. 375

AND ,,,
here is the gift,,, :) everyone likes free gifts,,don't you :)

Basically it was like if you buy so n so amount of maybelline products you have a choice of a free gift between a pouch and a pair of sunglasses.. I chose the pouch because I liked the pouch more than the glasses :),, Its a shiny black material pouch,,lined hot pink inside with a Loreal Paris logo stitched onto it,, cute lah,,,

Thanks
