Mmmm, a new mascara!
Mascaras aren’t actually something I treat myself to every five minutes. I’m
much more of a face product girl! Having said that, mascara is the one thing I
don’t like to leave the house without, and I completely believe that the right one
can quickly become your best friend and your life saver! This little baby by
Make Up Store was part of my huge Make Up Store haul from late last year, and I
can’t quite believe it’s taken me so long to get this review sorted. I
absolutely adore this mascara; it is probably my every-day choice and I just
love its simplicity. I got mine from the Beauty Bay website for £13, and since
first opening it, have barely been without it. Make Up Store describes it as “a best-selling
treatment mascara which gives intense volume and length to the lashes.” I’m actually really very lucky with
my eyelashes because they’re long and thick and they don’t take too much effort
to make all voluminous and elongated. However, I’ve really fallen in love with
Make Up Store’s offering.
Let’s start with the
packaging; a sleek and simplistic black tube with Make Up Store’s name in
slightly shiny text all over. It’s practical, fits nicely in my makeup back and
is actually instantly recognisable despite its ‘plain-ness’. The brush itself
is exactly what I go for in a mascara brush (I’m not exactly sure which shapes
do what but there you go!), straight, with thin, pointy bristles. I find that
the brush applies a perfect amount of product to your lashes. With a little
wiggle at the base, it coats them evenly and thoroughly, and lengthens them
noticeably. I’ve still never accidentally poked myself in the eyeball or got a
dreaded black mascara splodge on my fresh eye shadow with this one either! But
lets not tempt fate!
My lashes are definitely
thicker, longer, and true true black with this mascara. I dislike those
mascaras (usually drugstore ones (sorry!)) that look almost grey and faded.
However, the pigmentation of this mascara is second to none. It’s lasted really
well, and for only £13 I’m not even too terrified of running out because I know
it’s affordable enough to pick up another one. I’m absolutely so in love with
this mascara, and I have nothing negative to say about it, other than perhaps
it’s a little bit of a pain that you will probably have to order it online unless
you live close to the only Make Up Store shop in England, which is in London!
What is your favourite mascara? Have
you ever tried any Make Up Store products? Let me know in the comments!
Lots of love,
