Mascaras : The Letdowns
I have been meaning to post an entry about some worthless mascaras I have purchased but I have putting it off because:
- I was lazy
- I have no time
- I might have applied them using the wrong method
- They deserve a second/third/fourth chance
But after several tries, they've yet to prove that they deserve a "seat" on my dressing table. And for sure I am never gonna repurchase them ever again!
The top four disgraces (in my books):
- Etude House Oh! M'Eye Lase Petticoat (Mascara Base)
- Etude House Oh! M'Eye Lase Maxivolume
- Dejavu Fiberwig
- Jadilla J Plumping Mascara
First up, Dejavu Fiberwig.
Of all the mascaras (and base mascara), this one proved to be the least useless. But I still don't really fancy it.
I've read many fantastic reviews about it and in a survey conducted by Biteki, it is voted the #1 favourite mascaras voted. But I hate to say, it sucks! Just one simple reason. Within seconds of application, my curled lashes straightened.... -___-" That's enough for me to want to chuck it away.
In order not to waste it, I tried to apply it after another mascara and luckily, it worked! My curled lashes are still curled and they lengthen because of the fibers in the Dejuva mascara.
I also found that despite the fat brush head, I can still use it for my lower lashes without dirtying my under eye area and its good at "catching" my short and sparse lower lashes. :)
Next, its the Jadilla J Plumping Mascara.
Its very pretty ain't it? As matter of fact, its the prettiest mascara I've ever set my eyes on! Its so pretty that I can even forgive it for being totally useless! Like the Dejavu mascara, it unfurl my curled lashes and it clumps up my lashes too!
I tried using it after a mascara base but it still didn't work. Even as a mascara for lower lashes it still sucked... Its remaining on my dressing table only because its pretty.
Lastly, its the Etude House Oh! M'Eye Lase Petticoat and Maxivolume.
Just like the above two mascaras, my curled lashes straightened. Enough said. Oh right! They smell weird too! And clumps up my lashes!
I suppose I will try to experiment again and try to make them useful but I am getting exasperated... Most probably (99.99%), I will dump all except the Jadilla J mascara once their 3 months life is up. Girls pleasssssssssssse throw away your mascaras after 3 months!! There's lots of bateria in the tube! Its not worth it to get an eye infection or some nasty eye problem just to save some money.
On a side note, I have to admit that my lashes are soft and poker straight to begin with... :P I lurve my KATE mascara base and memory curl mascara!
