magnum is not bad
the fat brush can really separate and coat well

[Noms]

Benefit's They're Real! mascara...

TO. DIE. FOR.

It's like Givenchy's Phenomen'Eyes Mascara but upgraded and easier to use!!!! Non-clumpy, smudge and tear proof... really delivers awesome results!

Best mascara imho!

[GlamourStar]

Kiss Me Heroine Make Impact Frame & Curl Mascara!! My HG Mascara at the moment!

[missy_jessie]

MM and Kiss me are still my HG as they do not smudge on me and they do lengthen my lashes. I like Benefit's They Real and Lancome's precious cells but both smudge so I use them on days when I'm only going out for a short well. Would love to try Dior as there are many raves for it!

I like Maybelline the falsies volume express mascara, it helps to pump up the volume of my sparse lashes. Doesnt help to lengthen much, but volume wise its good.

[dovespaniel]

Now I really like :
1. Covergirl Lashblast - cheap and really deliver curl and volume.
2. NARS Larger than life volumising mascara - I got this by chance in a set purchase and it does what it claims.

Diorshow iconic mascara!!! my eyelashes curl w/o the need of curler.... does not smudge too! thumbs up for the wand!

Za had actually sponsored me their Mascara base, Wide Eyes Mascara and their newly formulated Eye & Lip makeup remover. I have tried and love them all!

But I was still not contented with Wide Eyes alone, and was keen to try out their Impact Lash Volume. So when I saw their Impact Lash Volume mascara was on promotion, I bought without hesitation! The promotion was, with every purchase of their Impact Lash Volume mascara, there would be a free travel-sized Eye & Lip Makeup Remover!

Just so nice for me! <3





The Eye & Lip Makeup Remover is good!

It is able to remove waterproof eyeliner and mascara with just a few gentle wipes. It’s not very oily and infact leaves the skin near my eye area feeling moisturized and soft! No stinging at all!

Their Eye & Lip Makeup Remover is available at full size, retailing at SGD12.90, at Watsons stores!

*Psst!*

I’ve gotten mine at the Watsons store from T3, GST-Free!



Back to the my review on the Impact Lash Volume and Wide Eyes mascaras…



Just like any other mascara, brush the mascara base on my eyelashes..




I started off with the new Mascara Base, which has got mascara fibers in white. I just applied a few coats on my lashes. Didn’t feel anything, the fibers didn’t fall on my face, messy-free.



After the mascara base, it’s the Impact Lash Volume mascara. I usually apply Volume mascara before any other mascara.

This volumizing mascara consists of 2 difference thickness on the bristles which helps to create a volumizing effect.

Upon application, there will be an increase in the illumination on each and every lash.

For Impact Lash Mascara (Volume), its brush comes in a curved extrafine fiber brush. The inward curve fits the eye curve and tries to reach each and every lash. The outward curve consists of wide-pitched fibers to give lash tip a clump-free and fine finish. As for the tip of the brush, it has shorter bristle to reach for the the corner lashes and shorter lashes like the bottom eyelashes.



I always believe that inorder to create lengths, I will need to volumize my eyelashes so that more lengthening mascara can then be applied on the thick lash strands from the volume.



Application
Step 1. Use the inward curve to brush upwards (in zig zag motion) from the roots to the tip of the upper eyelashes.
Step 2. Use the outward curve to comb lashes from the roots to the tip of the eyelashes, so as to separate the lashes in a fan shape.
Repeat Step 1 & 2 to increase the volume of lashes.
Step 3. Use tip of brush to apply the corner lashes and bottom lashes.



After doing with the Impact Lash Volume mascara, to give the eyelashes a more define/dramatic effect, follow up with a lengthening or Wide Eyes mascara.

To give a fan out look, Wide Eyes Mascara is the one!



This Wide Eyes mascara is meant to separates lashes finely and creates a beautiful fan-out effect.

Its glossy coat oil gives a lustrous effect to lashes.

It has a double comb! The extrafine pitch coil, and the extra small jaggy comb, together they help to create the wide fan-like effect on the lashes!

The Extra small jaggy coil basically coats a generous amount of mascara on the lashes, and because of the coil design, even short lashes and lashes which are hard to reach can be easily coated.

The Extra fine pitch comb separates each lash and spreads the mascara which was previously coated by the coil for a neat, fan-out and non-clumpy finish.



Application
Step 1. Use the Extra small jaggy coil to apply mascara from the roots to the tip of the upper eyelashes.
Step 2. Use tip of bristles to reach difficult corners and short lashes.
Step 3. Use the Extra fine pitch comb to create the fan-out effect.

The more coats you apply, the more dramatic the effects will be and you can skip your falsies!

My results!

I didn’t apply a lot of coats here as I was in rush for work. But from side and top views, my eyelashes are prominent enough to catch some attentions from colleagues.

The best of all, it’s smudge-proof, no worries even though I’ve got oily eyelids!

Same sentiments as prettyeagle, i also prefer cutie curls to this new lash impact range, but both still works good on me.

As for mascara remover, other than the Za point makeup remover, Fancl MCO removes equally well.

was a loyal fan of maybelline mascara as i found it value for money. simply grabbed the latest product in their waterproof family when needed. that was until i received a dejavu mascara for xmas present years ago and like they say, the rest is history...

i combine the fiberwig paint-on false lashes for length and lash knockout for volume - a heavenly match. both available from sasa and john little for abt $25 each (20% discount applicable most times).



with maybelline, if i accidentally smudged on my eyelids and attempted to swipe off with cotton bud, it would further spread the smudge, causing a black shadow, if you know what i mean. i had to dab the cotton bud with makeup remover in order to remove the smudge and ended up removing any other makeup on my eyelid as well. i sometimes got mascara flakes / spots on my eyelids, i guess, as a result of my skin getting oily throughout the day. removing the entire coats of mascara at the end of the day was a chore too. there were times when my precious eyelashes came off even though i rubbed gently... however, that was yeeeears ago and in all fairness, their current formula may have improved.

using dejavu was a breeze:

1. length and volume were NATURALLY achieved. my new colleagues actually thought that i have naturally long and thick eyelashes.

2. smudges were easily corrected with cotton bud (no remover required).

3. i usually put on 2 coats of fiberwig and 1 coat of lash knockout, which are easily and thoroughly removed with my bodyshop all-in-one milk cleanser.

I'm using Maybelline volume express the falsies and i find it real awesome, this one really works, and gives me the length too.

[Shenay]

Hmm I've tried :

Maybelline volume express the falsies - good in lengthening but it weighs down my lashes

Maybelline pulse perfection - really good at volumizing and it holds my curled lashes, but it smudges through the day ! so annoying.

So far I still go back to MM glamour volume but its so hard to remove ! Anyone tried Lancome Drama Hypnose waterproof? Its only available on Sephora, I don't know if I should place an order since I have not tried it

[prettyeagle]

I love layering MM Lash Bone + Heroine Make Kiss Me Volume & Curl mascara for the longest, thickest and curliest lashes. This combination is lethal though because both primer and mascara is hard to remove and there is a need to soak the lashes in eye MU remover for about 30secs to loosen the mascara fibres.

[Crystaline]

FACE it Extreme Cell Recovery Mascara from THE FACE SHOP
did not smudge - lasting & more volume. loving it!!

[barbiegirl]

I liked Heroine Make long and curl mascara! I'm tempted to try their new Heroine Make impact frame & curl mascara. Anyone can review the lash impact mascara?
