Lovin Lashes

 

New year is around the corner and I happened to be packing my room, only to realise that I have a stash of mascara. Mostly brand new and untouch since purchase, even the plastic seals are all intact. Only then I remembered that I went through a period of mascara craze late last year.

One of my favourite volumizing mascara would be from Lancome called Hypnose (Waterproof). I love how intense the black is and it makes my tiny lashes looks much much fuller with clumping. For a cheaper alternative, Maybelline Volum' Express Turbo(Waterproof) is a good choice for less than half the price of Hypnose.

For longer lashes, I alternate between Anna Sui's Long Lash and Canmake Glamourous Fur Mascara. Both the mascaras can help create the dramatic effect that look like fake lashes. It is actually good to apply another coat of mascara on the tips of your lashes when you want the lashes to be longer instead of the entire length of lashes for you might causing your curls to fall with the heavy application. To prevent clumping, it is imperative to wiggle the mascara wand slightly when you are nearly the end of your lashes.

Get the most out of your mascaras by

-Powdering under the eye before applying mascara. Prevents smudges due to oily cream or concealers.

-Not pumping the wand in and out of the tube. It increases air inside the tube causing the mascara to dry out faster than supposed to.

-Not waiting for the first one coat of mascara to be totally dry before you apply the next as it will cause clumps.

I am still searching for a good eyelash curler for my super stubborn lashes!
