Essence I Love EXTREME Crazy Volume mascara Review

 Today I have to share with you is the new Essence I Love EXTREME Crazy Volume mascara in the color black. Now I tried essence nail polishes, but this is a first for mascara. To be honest I didn't even know Essence made mascaras! So does it actually give EXTREME crazy volume? Lets find out!

This is a simple wand with short bristles covered in a thick black coating. The formula is wet and thick which gave me clumps and smudges. There was so much product on the brush, that I had to wipe off almost all of it, for the right amount. It does make my lashes dark, and give some good volume. Is it extreme? No. Ive attempted to let this mascara dry out, but the overkill of product on the brush is still out of control.  I did notice after awhile there where little black flakes under my eyes…not cool!

Sadly, I don't love this mascara. If you are into a lot of product on the brush and wet formula, this may be for you. It just gave me clumps and not enough volume for me to ever repurchase again.

Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

 Hello everyone I honestly don't why I haven't posted in 3 days, I've been testing out products and time just simply got away. Today I the Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara to share with you all. I've heard so much hype about this mascara, but honestly Covergirl mascaras have never really done anything of my lashes. So does clump crusher change my opinion? Lets find out!

Covergirl Clump Crusher comes in a pretty bulky bright green packaging. The wand has a nice curve shape to it with bristles evenly spaced out. Now the claim to this mascara is that it offers lengthening without clumps. It coats my lashes really good, it gives my lashes a nice lengthening effect, but there is no WHOA effect! It actually doesn't clump with just 2 coats on me, but like all mascara if you put to much it will clump. It wore really good it didn't flake, or smudge throughout the day.

I feel like this is a nice day time mascara, it doesn't give a dramatic effect, it last all day without flaking or smudging, its a nice everyday mascara. I like it, but I don't love it simply because I'm a lashy, dramatic type of girl, but its lovely for everyday wear!

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

Today I have a review on a oldie but goodie Too Face Better Than Sex Mascara. Now I used to be a big drugstore mascara fan and at 1 point refused to ever buy a high end brand mascara, but on a recent trip to Sephora, I decide to change and try it. So do I love it? hate it? Lets see!

This comes in a heavy pink tube. I love the packaging and I really enjoyed that the name of the mascara is faded and isn't to bold. The wand is shaped in an hourglass figure shape. It's extremely different from any other mascaras I've ever seen. The formula is not runny, but not dry it the perfect texture.  It's also a true dark black, no if, and or buts about it, it just perfect!

With 1 coat my lashes look full and long. With 2 coats the intensity and sultry look it gives is just daydreaming. My lashes doesn't clump or feel weighted down. It lengthen and give my lashes the correct amount of volume and darkness. The wand is the perfect size to really get in the inner corner of the eye, and its not so big that it doesn't grip my bottom lashes. 3 coats is a little bit too much for me to use on a daily basis, so I have keep it at 2.

Overall I LOVE this mascara! I would have never thought that a high end mascara would give me wonderful lashes. I already have a back up mascara and I plan on getting another one to keep in my gym bag. If you are on the market for a good lengthening and voluminous mascara this is for you!

L'oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara

Howdy everyone! I hope you guys week has been going good! Today I have the new L'oreal Voluminous Butterfly mascara. Now I am a mascara girl, I feel so naked without mascara, so I'm always interested in the newest mascaras. This mascara is being promoted to give a voluminous cat eye lashes. Well does it? Lets take a look.

The bristles are shaped in a comb effect, which is actually really good for combing out the lashes. With this "comb effect" I found that the brush wasn't very product heavy, so I didn't need wipe off the excess. This did not clump my lashes, no spidery eyes! The down fall in the this product is that I didn't find my lashes to be voluminous and no winged out action happened. Since the brush doesn't hold a lot of product the mascara simply gives a nice dark non clump…nothing ground breaking sadly. This mascara is pretty basic and nothing to rave about honestly. Now 1 thing that I did like was that it didn't smudge throughout the day.

This mascara is just ok. Its a nice day to day because its not going to make your lashes look clumpy or overdone. But as far as a butterfly winged out look…..NO not even close. If your in the market for just a basic comb through mascara this is for you, but if your into more a dramatic, true voluminous look then this is a pass. This can be found at CVS, Walgreens, Targets, and Wal Mart.
