The Perfect Mascara

I'm never a mascara kinda gal not because I don't like them, I mean who doesn't want long thick and curled lashes right?! It's just that my lashes are short, straight and very hard. They are very difficult to manage and just a pain in the neck to deal with, so I normally skip "the mascara step" when I do my makeup.

I have been on a hunt for the perfect mascara for ages. The sort of  mascara I'm looking for is to hold the curl after using my curler. This is the most important thing for me. I have found some good mascaras in the past that are really good in terms of thickening and lengthening my lashes but never found anything that can hold the curl all day not even for a couple of hours. Very frustrating I'll tell ya. (I hate my lashes!) But all of my "hard work" has finally paid off as I think I just found "the one". Meet: False Lash Architect 4D Waterproof by L'OREAL. This is by far the best mascara I have ever tried. It meets all my requirements for a mascara and I couldn't be happier!

(The wand is kinda long and thin, not one of those rubber plastic ones which it's cool)

This mascara not only thickens and lengthens my lashes but also really holds the curl which is why I like it so much. I wouldn't say that it holds my lash curl all day but a good half day is not a problem with this mascara. I can't complain really because it is already pretty amazing. You wouldn't believe what kind of lashes I have. Stubborn as hell. Really really difficult to curl them and keep the curl in place. Sigh! 

This mascara is seriously good stuff. It just coats my lashes beautifully and never clumps up. (I normally do 2 coats) Let me put it this way. If it's good enough for me then it will definitely work for you unless you have even more stubborn lashes which is just really unfortunate. Can't imagine someone who has more stubborn lashes than mine. Also I like sort of thick formulas when it comes to mascaras. I hate wet, runny ones. So if you are like me then you'll like this one.

If I have to, have to pick a con... This mascara is pretty hard to get off. You need a good oil based eye makeup remover for this. Trust me Bioderma doesn't cut it. I normally do a double cleanse when I have this mascara on. For me it's all worth it end of the day because it holds my lash curl well. If you have really straight and hard lashes then you would've understand my pain. I suggest you to give this baby a try you won't be disappointed!

Since we are talking about mascaras then I will give you a mini review on this MUFE Smoky Extravagant Mascara which I got as a sample on one of my Sephora orders. 

Well I don't like it just because it doesn't do anything to hold my lash curl. It does make my lashes long but that's about it. The formula is rather thick and very dry to the point that I feel like there's nothing in the tube. I do like the wand though as the thin end really does get in the corner and coats every single lash I have. Wouldn't recommend it but again my lashes are difficult to manage, but I do have heard a lot of girls really like it so don't quote me on that!

That's it guys. Really hope that this is helpful and if your lashes are similar to mine then I do suggest to try the L'OREAL False Lash Architect Mascara but in the waterproof version. Oh by the way I now write for Student Fashion and my blogposts are up on Friday usually every two weeks and there should one this Friday so keep an eye on that.

My Thoughts on Too Faced Better Than

Hello lovlies, happy Tuesday! Can't believe it'll be Christmas in less than 2 weeks and honestly I can't wait... I know that a lot of you plan to wear false lashes for Christmas parties or New Year's eve party but if you are not into falsies and wanna look for a good mascara that will give you a natural look then you might wanna keep reading on today's post. 

New Makeup New Look 

I've got 2 here to show you today, and one is a hit and the other one I don't recommend at all. Let's start with the hit, shall we?!

Meet Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara. I got this in a kit a while back from Sephora and I've been really enjoying it. It is the kind of mascara I would go for on a no-makeup makeup day. 

(2 coats on top and 1 thin coat on my bottom lashes)

It separates, coats my lashes really well, gives me a little volume and lengthens, never look clumpy no matter how many coats I put on. I love the small to medium sized brush head because it really just gets in the corner of my eyes and coats every single lash that I didn't know I had. It is easy to take off as well and I really like the bamboo looking packaging. 

The reason why I say it is a no-makeup makeup kinda mascara is because it looks very natural, even with 3 coats on. It doesn't give a dramatic look so it's very school and office appropriate. It would be nice to wear on Christmas day lunch with the family I think. 

It is not my HG mascara, nothing will ever replace my L' Oreal False Lash Architect Waterproof mascara, but it is a pretty good one nevertheless. Like I said it is a natural looking mascara and I always wear this during the day time or when I don't wanna go through the "cleansing hassle" in the evening as it is so easy to take off with just Bioderma. 

Now let's move on to the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. Not only the name is pretty "tacky" but also it might be the worst mascara I have ever tried. I had high hope for this one because everybody talks about it and saying how good it is but my lashes just don't agree with it. It doesn't do anything that it claims to, and the rather large curvy brush is just way too big. I'm so grateful that Sephora does point perks with this one because I wouldn't be happy if I paid for the full size. It's not worth the money in my opinion. 

I think this mascara is for someone who has big eyes and big lashes to start with, and it'll just really enhance them but for girls like me with small eyes and short straight lashes this just don't cut it. 

With this mascara, it doesn't matter how many coats I put on, it just looks like I have nothing on, I don't know what's with it, maybe I just got a bad one, but it did nothing, literally! I wouldn't recommend this mascara but feel free to try if you are curious, it might work for you. I have pretty hard and straight lashes so not a lot of mascaras work for me but if you already have nice curvy lashes then I think this could work. 

Have you tried them yet? What are your thoughts?
