My Top 3 Mascaras

First of all I just want to say that I think it is a real common misconception and a real annoyance that cosmetics companies promote thier mascaras on a 'one size fits all' philosophy. Whether it be a premium brand or a drugstore brand they often claim to have amazing results when actually I think it depends on what kind on lashes you already have as to what results you will get. Some mascaras work better on people who already have full voluminous lashes but wont really work on those like me who have short straight lashes.

That said here are my top three mascaras

• #1 Theyre real! by Benefit cosmetics

This is my fave mascara!! It works brilliantly on my lashes and have had so many comments from people saying how long and full they look. The brush to me makes all the difference because its made from silicone and has a special spikey top which can be used to literally push up lashes adding an extra length and separation. The formula is extra black and really long wearing, though not quite waterproof it will not smudge or flake all day. Ive tried lots of mascaras both drugstore and premium and this is by far my favourite. I can imagine if you already have long luscious lashes this would make them look amazing!
It retails at £18.50 well worth it if your looking for a mascara that really works!

• #2 Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening mascara  by Bobbi Brown

I was given this as part of a gift set at Christmas and I am mega impressed! I got it from a package from QVC along with the long lasing gel eye liner and 'black pearl' long lasting eye shadow, both of which are lovely products. More that anything this again is a lengthening mascara which separates the lashes. It also contains a formula which helps to curl and condition the lashes. My only gripe is that its not waterproof so if you have any tears it will run (trust me ive been emotional wearing this!)
It retails from Bobbi Brwons website for £18.00.

• #3 YSL Faux Cils Luxurious Mascara

This is a real luxary product and when you first apply the mascara you will notice how much product you get on the brush.It has a real dense effect on lashes, perfect for an intense look with a smokey eye. Its not waterproof but its long lasting and does not clump ot flake. Its a bit ridiculously priced at £23.00 but as I said this is a luxary mascara and the gold packaging gives it away. Aside from its expensive looking packaging and its YSL name tag the product is also very good proving a firm favourite worldwide. You do need to close the mascara properly after each use and even wioe the brush regularly with a wet wipe to keep it from drying out as its a nightmare if it dries.





So there you have it my top 3 mascaras
