Review ... Miss Sporty Studio Lash ...

Review Miss Sporty - Studio Lash...

 This is a nice cheap one. At just £2.99. Miss Sporty I believe has been designed and aimed a teens who may be just starting to discover make-up. 
I have been informed that In fact Miss Sporty is made by the same manufactures as Rimmel. 

The brush for this one is a plastic one again. However the bristles are longer on the one side compared to the other. I have attempted to show this is one of the pictures below. 

Through looking at this brush my first thoughts were there are far to many bristles to get a good look but I was surprised. 

Reminder of my lashes without mascara. 

I HAVE NOT USED ANY LASH INSETS OR FALSIES IN THE FOLLOWING IMAGES. 

I HAVE NOT USED ANY FIBRE LASH EITHER.  

This mascara was very wet. I managed to get it all over my eyelid which was annoying. Through turning the brush to bring the longer bristles towards my eye when pulling up the brush it did provide length. My lashes immediately stuck together as the mascara was just so wet. It took me a very long time to separate my lashes to achieve a decent look. It worked well with the bottom lashes. Just don't blink to much else you would get it all over your face. 

It made my lashes seem thicker but I think it was because they were all sticking together.

This mascara was a bit of a let down to be honest. But considering it is designed and made for teenagers it is good to some degree. For the price its brilliant and I would defiantly recommend to anyone aged 12-16. It would be a good one for discos. Probably not a good school day one as it would be noticeable. It was good on the bottom lashes but very wet. 

So my overall score for this one is going to have to be a 4/10. It does provide length and as I have said many times works well on the bottom lashes. If the mascaras was a little less wet it would be brilliant as the brush design works perfect for improving lash length. 

Let me know your thoughts ....

Review...Bourjois Paris Elastic

Review...Bourjois Paris Elastic...

Sorry for the lack of review yesterday however I had a very busy day and a Mascara free day. 

Today I have a Bourjois Mascara One of my favourite brands of make-up. 

Currently priced at around £7.99 however not currently showing on the Boots or Superdrug website, I know it is still available to buy in the stores. 

This Mascara was my Favourite one when it first came out about 4 years ago and would still be in my top ten. It works well on its own and amazingly with fibre lash to. 

The brush on this one is a plastic one and is quite small. Perfect for getting those corner lashes. 

As I've said previously I prefer a plastic brush as I find them easier to use and are sometimes softer than a bristle brush. 

This brush glides over lashes and you only need a couple of coats to get an amazing lengthy look. 

Okay so the usual, reminder of my lashes (Don't worry I will get new pics from time to time so you don't get bored) 

(Again) I HAVE NOT USE LASH INSETS OR FALSIES IN THE FOLLOWING IMAGES. I HAVE ALSO NOT USE ANY FIBRE LASH IN THE FOLLOWING PICTURES. THE RESULTS ARE FROM THE MASCARA ALONE AND NOTHING ELSE. 

This mascara provides length which is what it is designed to do. It Separates the lashes perfectly. However applying to many coats can cause the lashes to stick together. So you may have to use an eyelash comb to separate them. 

I would say that it defiantly works better on the bottom lashes rather than the top ones. It makes them appear a lot longer than they actually are. 

I did have to use my eyelash curlers (like you do with most mascaras) to get the top lashes to curl the way they have in the pictures. 

I personally love this mascara as I have done from day one of using it. It does what I want a mascara to do. It provides length on both lashes and makes they thick enough to be recognised from a distance as well as up close. It doesn't crumble when put on and doesn't 'Over' cover your lashes in mascara. Its not gloopy and the brush is ideal to get to the corner lashes. 

 Overall this mascara is a brilliant one and Bourjois should be proud. Not sure if this could be considered biased as I have liked this one when I first bought it. 

There is a slight fault as it does take awhile to dry. So you would have to wait if you wanted to apply any other eye make-up. 

So my score for this one is going to be a 9/10. It provides length and definition. It doesn't crumble or clump. The brush is a perfect size to reach all the lashes. It just needs to dry a little bit quicker to make it up to a 10. 

Anyone else use it and agree? Disagree? Let me know. 

Thanks for the read guys!

Review - Max Factor - False Lash Effect ...

Review Time again this time Max Factor - False Lash Effect - Bold Volume for up to 24 hours...

This is currently priced at around £11.99 in various high street stores. So quite pricey. This mascara is similar to the False Lash effect (Standard one) but is suppose to provide Volume for up to 24 hours. 

The brush for this one is plastic all round. The bristles are quite soft so they don't pull at your lashes. 

The very end of the brush is flat which allows you to scraped off any excessive mascara. 

I love a good plastic brush and this one is good. 

As usual I must show you what my eyelashes look like without mascara to give you the idea of how well each mascara works. 

I have tried something different with this review as I haven't really given you any examples of what fibre lash can do for you. 

So what I have done is used the Mascara solely on one eye and on the other I have used fibre lash before I have applied the Mascara to show the difference. 

I HAVENT USED ANY LASH INSETS OR FALSIES IN THE FOLLOWING IMAGES. 

 Okay so I shall show you the results of the mascara used on its own first. 

This mascara is good. I wouldn't say it gives the impression of false lashes when used on its own. 

As you can see my lashes are rather scatered. It defiantly provides added length but no as much as you may have wished for. 

It did help the bottom lashes with definition which was good.

I prefer to use this mascara with my fibre lash hence why I have done one eye with and one eye without. 

I prefer it as it makes your lashes more straight and gives them that added length that it needs to give off the false lash effect. 

This is what the Fibre lash looks like when applied. Gives length. You wait for it to dry then apply your mascara. I used step one of my Maybelline NewYork XXL Curl Power above.

I didn't use step two of this mascara only the fibre lash from step 1. 

The results I got with the fibre lash were much more perfect than just using the mascara on its own. 

Much more straight lashes and more defined. 

The eye shown on the left (direction from looking directly at the screen) has the Max Factor mascara on Only! The eye on the right has one layer of fibre lash on as well as the Max Factor mascara. 

You can tell the slight difference. 

You can see the eyelashes are more straight with added volume and definition. 

Its a shame that this mascara cannot provide this look by itself.

Without Fibre lash side closest 

With Fibre Lash side closest. 

I do like this mascara and I think it would help those out that have really small lashes. However I prefer to use it with fibre lash as I'm not overly satisfied with the length it provides on its own. 

It does last a long time so I can agree with the 24 hours thing. It doesn't crumble and is easy to remove with water or eye make-up remover. 

So my overall score for this mascara would be a 6/10 on its own.  

With Fibre lash I would give it an 8/10. But thats not the point. Mascaras should be good on there own without the use of additional fibres (unless its double ended and its part of the mascara itself.) 

Anyone got any views on this?

Review ... Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof

Another Review - Maybelline New York - Great Lash - Very Black - Waterproof ...

This mascara is currently priced at just £4.99 on the Boots website and can be found for similar prices in different high street stores. So a nice cheap one. 

This is one of three waterproof mascaras that I own as Im not usually a fan as they can sometimes be a pain to get off. 

The brush for this mascara is very small. The completed opposite to the Soap and Glory mascara that I recently reviewed. 

Very small indeed. Its not plastic, its completely made out of bristles. The end of the brush is extra small to make it easy to reach the little lashes hidden in the corner of your eye. 

My first thought when I took this brush out of the bottle was Whoaaaa this is going to take forever to complete my eyes. I was very wrong indeed. Even though the brush is small its packs a punch. Didn't take me long to achieve a great lengthy look. 

Reminder of what my eyelashes look like without mascara. 

NO LASH INSETS OR FALSIES HAVE BEEN USED IN THE FOLLOWING IMAGES. NO FIBRE LASH HAS BEEN USED EITHER. THE IMAGES SHOW WHAT THIS MASCARA CAN DO ON ITS OWN. 

For a small brush this mascara is brilliant. Provides great length and perfect contrast of thickness to give great looking lashes from a distance as well as close up. 

It worked even better with the bottom lashes. Really made them stand out. 

The corner lashes were easy to reach too as the end of the brush was very small, without over gloop. 

This mascara provides length and added volume. It didn't appear to flake when putting on, and is a bugger to get off if you get in on your eyelid showing that it is a decent waterproof mascara.

I would prefer the normal one if I had the choice instead of the waterproof one as I think its going to be difficult later to get this mascara off which is its only downfall at the moment. 

This Mascara for me is ticking a lot of the boxes. It provides Length not only to your top lashes but more so to your bottom lashes, it gives volume, it doesn't clump and you can get your corner lashes very easily. It is also very cheap indeed. Maybelline have out done themselves with this mascara. 

My overall score would have to be a 9/10 as this mascara is a Brilliant one. I did have to use my eyelash comb to separate some of my lashes which has prevented it from getting a full 10. This is however going in my top ten mascaras very possibly my top 5. 

Let me know what you think if you have ever tried it.

Review ... Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara

Review Time ... Today is Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Super Volume Mascara... 

This Mascara is currently priced at £10.00 on the Boots website. As far as Im aware they only place to sell this is Boots.

Anybody that knows me will say that I am a Soap and Glory addict as their products are just amazing, however I am not going to be giving this product extra points for it being Soap and Glory. 

The brush is a big one and is not plastic at all. I has large bristles that make it easy to put it on when your in a rush. 

The end of the brush is small to allow you to get into the corners of your eyes without any problems. Its not all gooey and clogged up at the end of the brush like you can get with some mascaras to which is good. 

Okay so as usual I must remind you of what my lashes look like before applying any mascara at all. 

AGAIN NO LASH INSETS OR FALSIES HAVE BEEN USED TO CREATE THE FOLLOWING LOOK. I HAVE NOT USED ANY FIBRE LASH EITHER SO THE RESULTS SHOWN BELOW ARE THAT OF THE MASCARA AND THE MASCARA ONLY. 

What I like about this Mascara is that with the brush being as big and as wide as it is, it makes applying the mascara very easy to do. It is also a mega quick process with this. It took me a matter of seconds to cover my top lashes so it does match the name by fast. 

Although my lashes did stick together when I applied the Mascara, the more layers I put on the more it separated my lashes. I did have to briefly use my eyelash comb by the end. 

It defiantly provides length and it does it quickly so the name is perfectly matched with this mascara. 

I did however have one fault with it...it took awhile to apply to my bottom lashes as the brush is rather big. It took awhile to achieve the above look for my bottom lashes as I was trying to avoid getting mascara all over the bottom of my eye. However if you have the time and can put the effort in then this would be perfect for you. 

It provided length that is noticeable from a distance as well as up close so overall a great mascara. 

(excuse the Fish eye look here) 

So my final score would have to be around a 6/10. Its a fast mascara and you can achieve a great thick defined look for your top lashes however you are having to spend this extra time saved on your bottom lashes. Plus it doesn't provide the same effect for your bottom lashes so it can sometimes make it look like that you have hardly any lashes on the bottom of your eyes. 

Anyone else have a difference of opinion? Let my know would love to here from you.
