Rimmel Eye Magnifier mascara review

This mascara is for sure better than the Max Volume Flash Mascara.  I liked the way my lashes looked.  They were longer and thicker.  This has a wet formula and a plastic brush which really helped separate the lashes and made applying it simple.  It's lasts as well as my high end mascaras.  I do feel like my lashes feel more brittle and less supple with these cheaper mascaras. When compared side by side to Urban Decay's skyscraper and Cargo lashactivator, all with plastic brushes, I liked Decay's the best, it went on the smoothest with the cleanest look.  With that said, it was a minimal difference.  For cheap version I would buy this one.

Verdict: Cheap mascara worthy of wearing!  It adds volume and length and looks beautiful.  Lasts all day with minimal flaking. 

My suggestion would be to buy this mascara and also a product that works as well as RapidLash worked for me.  RapidLash will give you long lashes and this is cheap enough for you to save for RapidLash.

Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara Review

BADgal lash mascara has a huge brush.  I liked the size of the brush, but I can see how it could be too big for some people.  You have to be careful not to get it on your eyelid.  The formula is a bit dry which makes it go on naturally and matte.    It takes several swipes to make your lashes thicker, but it doesn't clump and get spidery.  It separates the lashes beautifully and thickens a bit.  It stayed on all day, but it did leave a few flakes under my eyes at the end of the day, but very minimal. I've used this one in the past and I didn't like how quickly the product was used up.  I wanted to see the comparison side by side, so before my shower this morning I put it on again on one eye and the other eye I used Hourglass superficial lash and it took triple the amount of swipes to distribute the product and it didn't thicken as well or look as shiny dark as Hourglass, the length looked about the same. But BADgal lash looked more natural, which I really like that look. I still think the biggest con is how quickly the product runs out and how large the brush is. 


Verdict:  Once again another great mascara.  It is long lasting and build-able.  The brush is very large and can be difficult to use if you have smaller eyes.  The tube also gets used up quickly. Great if you want a matte natural look.

Urban Decay Skycraper Mulit-Benefit Mascara review

Urban Decay's Skyscraper Multi-Benefit Mascara was good.  The wand is made of plastic which separates lashes nicely. It is a very natural looking mascara and goes on quite thin, but is build-able.  I felt like it didn't thicken my lashes as much as other brands, but it did lengthen.  It stayed put most of the day with only a few flakes under my eyes, very minimal and that was after planting my garden. I read that if you wear this for 2 weeks straight it will darken light lashes, like a dye. Interesting. This has a very natural look to it.

Verdict:  I can see why this mascara is on Sephora's top sellers list.  It is a good mascara with minimal flaking.  It helped lengthen the lashes, not thicken.  It is very natural looking. 

Hourglass Superficial Lash Carbon Review

Will this mascara reign as the winner?  We will see!  So far this is the best mascara I have ever used!  The brush grabs every lash. It separated lashes beautifully so they don't all clump together.  The formula seems dry, but it makes it very build-able without looking spidery.  You can put on as little or as much as you would like.  A little looks very natural.  A lot seriously makes your lashes look fake.  My husband refused to believe I wasn't wearing false lashes.  Each time he looked at me he said "that mascara stuff is amazing."  It didn't flake off or get under my eyes at all and I used it on my lower lashes. It stayed put. 

Verdict:  False lash appeal!  This mascara leaves lashes looking long and thick, not spidery.  It does not flake off.  I will certainly buy this one!  I love it!

Stila Lash Visor Mascara Review

Yesterday I woke up and prepared for my colonoscopy. Before I left the house I coated my lashes in Stila Lash Visor waterproof Mascara. I really liked the way the mascara went on. It separated my lashes and coated them well with only a few swipes. It is a very thick runny product. It left them looking long and thick. I really liked it.  The real test was when I looked in the mirror long after the colonoscopy and recovery. What I saw were flecks of mascara under my eyes. I wiped them away and took a long nap. Again, flecks were under my eyes. I wiped them away and went on with life. Before bed there were still flecks under my eyes, but I noticed how well my lashes stayed curled, usually at the end of the day they are straight again and hanging in my eyes.  I scrubbed it off- which was a tough task and went to sleep.

My verdict:   This waterproof  mascara goes on beautifully and holds the lashes curl, however is does flake off and leaves specks around your eyes. It thickens and lengthens.  I don't like the flaking, but will wear it swimming. This is not a top pick of mine.

RapidLash
Does RapidLash really give you long gorgeous lashes?
Yes.
I have tried the product for a few months now and not only do I notice a difference, but so does my husband.  He keeps asking me if I'm wearing fake lashes (Which I do wear sometimes).   I was skeptical, but it really is a product that works.  I was expecting them to look even thicker than they do, I guess I still have use for my false lashes.  I even have a pair of false lashes that are shorter than my real lashes- thanks to RapidLash. 
Bottom line, if you are thinking about getting lash extensions, spend the money on RapidLash instead.  I love my new real lashes!
