mascara overload.

Saturday 26 March 2011

I am ashamed to admit that I have a problem. This problem has only reared its ugly hear during the last few months, but it seems to be getting worse and worse.

I have an addiction to mascara.

L-R Primark Eye Can't Go Wrong, Revlon Grown Luscious, Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash, Max Factor False Lash Effect, L'oreal Voluminous, Max Factor Lash Extension Effect, Models Own Mascara

BTW, im a geek and the mascaras are lined up so that the order goes from the center to the edges; best to worst 8)

Having previously been a religious owner of just Max Factor mascaras (my absolute favourite being False Lash Effect) I am now venturing into unknown mascara brands to me...

And I can't stop. That is why, for my own good, I have instigated a mascara ban, to try and cur the self-inflicted pain on my bank balance. I have an unopened L'oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara waiting in the wings, which I am only allowed to open when I finish another mascara, and under no circumstances am I to buy any more mascaras. At all.

Although right now I am craving another False Lash Effect... I have yet to find a mascara to trump this, and mine is almost gone, sob sob.

Must. Stop. Buying. Mascara.

My absolute favourite mascaras give a whole load of volume, length and generally amazing lashes... without the clumps. But isn't that what every girl wants from her mascara?! I find that the closest I can get to my perfect lashes is a combo of Max Factor False Lash Effect (2 coats) and then a swipe of L'oreal Voluminous, although I do find this pretty damn clumpy.

How do you get your perfect lashes?

And if you do have any recommendations for some wonderful mascaras you love, pop them in the comments please :) For reference when the ban finishes. Probably. Tee hee ;)

Oh and, before I forget...

Its Friday, Friday, Friday

Gotta get down on Friday

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)... oh wait, its Saturday *headesk*

Nice collection! I also have a bit of a mascara edition and really shouldn't buy another until I've used up at least two of my current collection...x

Same, i have a problem, i must have about 10 all have been used! May be ruthless and just chuck a few oldies.

You should check out Natural collections range, only £1.99 and they are so good! easy on the purse to ;)

OMG I totally feel your pain ahahah! I have non-existant lashes and I feel the urge to buy every new mascara that comes out!

Luckily my mascara obsession is under control atm, but now you've mentioned the Max Factor false lash effect, I might just have to go out and buy it...!
Love the little singing section at the end it makes me laugh how that song was released on a Monday too..

Nice post:) I love buying new mascaras - even though in the end they all pretty much just end up making my eyelashes look the same! The one mascara I really do recommend is the rimmel glam eyes mascara - it has a plastic comb wand which makes your eyelashes really clump free!x

I can't say I'm a mascara fan, due to the fact I touch my eyes to much, it makes it hard to put on makeup!
HOLLY27 March 2011 at 11:06
I really want to try the collection 2000 one, I've heard so many good things about it!xx
Anonymous27 March 2011 at 13:09
Dont worry your not that addicted, I have 20:s! Try one by one by maybelline to be honest its not that good the packaging is just great! Also lancome hypnose is great but quite expensive! Also have you tried bad gal lash?
Jodie Melissa27 March 2011 at 15:14

I absolutely loveeeee Falsh Lash Effect! Its the best mascara I've ever tried :D

I'm using Avon Super Shock at the mo, it was a bargain and I really like it! Volumises and lengthens and it has a pretty large brush..

You should try Maybelline Colossal if you haven't already! It's so good at volumizing and separating the lashes.
