Volume Lashes

Advantages: does what it says
Disadvantages: -

...I have always considered my eyes one of my best features, but the only thing is its extending eyelashes to make them stand out more and look longer which I find hard to do. I have tried so many mascaras and for daytime use most of them work just fine in adding more volume to my lashes, however they do not add length. I have tried false eyelashes and they do give the right effect but it's the making sure they stay on all night, the trouble to stick them on and buying them all of the time which is a lot of hassle when if you could get a mascara to create the same effect it would same money and time. Benefit cosmetics are worldwide famous because of their quirkiness and originality to their products. They have a creative way of selling them with interesting product names and also are used by celebrities worldwide too. They are a bit...

Review of BeneFit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Bad Lashes?

Advantages: Really black colour, gives good thickening effect in one coat, easy to apply
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

...I'm not a big mascara fan - my sister spends an absolute fortune on the Lancome Hypnose, but having been lucky enough to inherit my Dad's dark, thick lashes, I don't see it as such a necessity so am pretty difficult to impress in the mascara stakes. I bought this in a set which contained Benefit's Dandelion, Benetint and this Bad Lashes Mascara - all for the bargain price of £43 - at £20 each for the Dandelion and the Benetint this was a bargain in itself and the mascara for me was an added bonus. This mascara promises "the biggest, baddest lashes" and that wearing this will be "like wearing false eyelashes without the glue". Quite a bold claim! The mascara follows on the same theme as their Bad Gal eyeliner with a really chunky black tube with silver tipped wand. The black, silver and pink colour scheme is really fun...

Review of BeneFit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Lashes like a BADgal

Advantages: Nice packaging, cover
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I was excited when I saw that Glamour magazine was giving away a Benefit mascara last month with it's magazine as it means I could try a new product of theirs for free, well somewhat free. I think it's a really good marketing ploy because they can target people who may not have tried their products who will hopefully in their mind become hooked and want to buy more of their products. I also think a big part of Benefit's success is it's packaging and name of the products too. For example, if we just look at a few of their best sellers we see that this mascara that they are giving away is called the BADgal lash for the biggest, baddest lashes, Dr Feelgood is a face balm for matte skin and one of their glosses is called her glossiness! I think products like that are always fun to have in your make...

Review of BeneFit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Bad gal lashes!

Advantages: Great volumising effect
Disadvantages: Not waterproof

...The Benefit brand originated in San Francisco and follows the ethos of vintage glam, it reminds me of the 1940's era. The official website for the brand (www.benefitcosmetics.com) states that the aim was to create stores with a candy store like atmosphere. I bought thieir mascara for the first time when I moved away to university. Before that I hadn't had access to the brand Benefit and it's counters. The mascara comes in a chunky tube, with white lettering on it for the brand name and words BAD gal, the word lash is written in pink. The wand is possibly one of the biggest ones I have ever seen in a mascara, which is perhaps why it is so successful in creating really big and volumised lashes when I use it. The containter holds 8.5grans or product and usually lasts me about six months; I am currently on my second tube. There are however...

Review of BeneFit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Lash Defined

Advantages: Gives a nice length, anti clog system
Disadvantages: Pricey, smells odd

...In a seemingly endless quest for the perfect Mascara I decided to try out Maybelline Define A Lash Mascara, I had always been a devotee of Lash Discovery with it's natural look thanks to the mini brush but with it out of production and Lash Stylist proving to be a disaster my search took me on to Define A lash. Maybelline Define A Lash mascara comes in a vivid green tube and has a uniquely designed applicator brush, made of flexible rubber rather than traditional bristles, it also has a anti-clump feature built in within the tube aimed at removing any excess mascara before you apply it to your lashes, it is available in 2 tones of Brown and Black and has a special lightweight formula to give the lashes a look of definition and length. When I first used the Define A lash I was a bit concerned about the size of the applicator...

Review of Maybelline Define-A-Lash Mascara

Give your eye lashes some BAD volume!

Advantages: Brilliant volume without looking silly!
Disadvantages: It's expensive... but highly worth it for a nice treat.

...Recently a magazine gave away a smaller version of this mascara, which is the reason for the sudden influx in reviews on here for it! I however have been a fan of this mascara for a long time and own the full size version of it. I noticed some mixed reviews for this mascara so I feel I need to voice my own opinion of it! I bought the full size 8.5g mascara in Debenhams as a treat with some vouchers from my Shop and Scan panel. This was a certain treat costing £14.50 however I have loved some of Benefit's products before and I was eager to give this one a try! Brightly packaged in a black and pink box, the mascara itself is quite large compared to my usual Bourjois mascara's. It's packaging is simple but sleek and gives off a nice funky feel. My eye lashes are always being commented on, as they are very long! My opticians...

Eyelure Individual Lashes

Advantages: look natural, comes with glue
Disadvantages: very fiddly, not enough glue

...I naturally have very short, stubby lashes and wanted to try something a bit more permanent than mascara to enhance them, so i purchased these Eyelure Individual Lashes from Superdrug, as they claim to last up to 3 to 4 weeks. The box they are packaged in has a clear plastic window so you can see the actual lashes. There are 3 rows - short lashes, medium and long, so you can vary lengths as you go along the lash line. The lashes come with instructions and small bottle of adhesive. When i went to apply the lashes, the instructions stated that a small amount of adhesive should be placed on a bit of foil and the lashes dipped in before application. Even this was a bit inconvenient, as i didn't have much foil to hand. The whole process was just fiddly. As I went to apply a lash, i would press down in an attempt to fix the adhesive. Almost...

Review of Eylure Individual Lashes

A so sweet benefit to my bad lashes!

Advantages: Works well
Disadvantages: It's rather pricey!

...of the magazine (£2.00) I simply couldn't resist buying it of course! The Packaging.... The long cardboard box is black and bright pink in colour. On that in white and pink writing I'm told it is a Little Bit Bad Gal Lash from Benefit. Then I'm told it is mascara and the weight is stated. On the back of the box ingredients are listed, contact details for Benefit are given, and finally there is a bar-code on there. The tube (although smaller in my case) is a shiny black plastic, again with white and black writing on it telling Me it is Benefit Bad Gal Lash, on the back again I'm told it's Mascara, contact details for Benefit are given and finally there is a screw on/off bright silver lid that when you unscrew it you are met with a black plastic 'wand' and on the end of that there is a rather wide, thick spiral well formed and good quality brush...

Review of BeneFit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Fabulous Fluttering lashes!

Advantages: Divine looking lashes!
Disadvantages: Can be very tricky to apply, practice makes perfect!

...I have always been a little intrigued when it comes to applying false Eyelashes. Picture the scene, a little over twelve months ago I was shopping in Boots when something in the make up section caught my eye... Stick on strip Eyelashes. Always keen to try something new (and with a party to get to in a few short hours) I put a packet in my basket and carried on with my shopping. That evening as I was getting ready I applied the eyelashes and off I went. Several hours (and drinks) later I was on the dance floor when my friend started laughing one of my lovely strip lashes had fallen from my eye and affixed itself quite firmly to my cheek. So shopping in Boots last month and with the festive season coming up I once again I decided to brave false eyelashes only this time opting for Eylure Individual lashes. Eylure Individual...

Review of Eylure Individual Lashes

An eyemakeup remover without lashings of oil

Advantages: Really gentle on the eyes, love the gel consistency, doesn't drag the skin
Disadvantages: Doesn't remove waterproof mascara, stings if you get in your eyes

...Eye makeup removers are one of the most important steps in your skincare routine as the skin around the eye is so delicate, and are a tricky one to get right in my opinion. Either they are effective and remove every last trace of makeup but are oil-based and don't feel lovely on the skin, or they are water based and just too gentle and leave half of your makeup sitting on your eye! I received the Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser as a free sample and was interested to try it, having heard good things about the Talika range. It claims to be the first non-oily makeup remover on the market capable of removing waterproof mascaras, and the first that is dual performance, conditioning your lashes as it cleanses. It contains cornflower extract for it's softening and astringent properties, and silk proteins to condition the lashes. It...
