My special mascara edition post

Since I started to wear makeup, about 15 years ago, I have been try to find a good mascara that could solve my   complex inferiority with my eyelashes. They are so boring, so short and thin. Why God? Why I had to be born with such boring eyelashes? Anyway, thanks God Mascara cosmetic has evolved a lot since it was created in the 19 century by Eugene Rimmel. Now we have mascaras that even treat your eyelashes, not only dye it!

I have been trying quite a few mascaras and other things such as semi-permanent eyelashes, curlers, faux eyelashes.....all of them in an attempt to have sexy eyes ...... I will post some of the best of them here.

LANCOME ( I just love Lancôme very much, they are very good at what they do)

Hypnose - No. 01 Noir Hypnose gives a maxi-volumizing lashes. Its powerful brush intensifies the lashes up to 6 times thicker without clumping The creamy, supple formula glides on smoothly & separates the lashes perfectly Keeps lashes soft & supple all day long.

ESTEE LAUDER: Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara - 

My friend loves this mascara, and she looks more powerful  when she wears it. This Mascara Contains unprecedented bold volume formula, it has ultra light, lash-thickening fibres, Lifts, curls & lengthens lashes with feather-weight volume.

ELIZABETH ARDEN: Ceramide Lash Extending Treatment Mascara 

This mascara treats your lashes while giving you a stunning sexy look. This is what we want a smart mascara that treats and pump up at the same time. Right? It is infused with Ceramide Triple Complex & kerayis. Strengthens & fortifies lashes.

SHISEIDO: the Makeup Extra Length Mascara – The great thing about this mascara is its Waterproof, sweat-proof & oil-proof long wearing for hours characteristic. I sweat in the eye lid area a lot so I really need sweat-proof and oil-proof mascara. If you have the same problem thinks about this one here

ESTEE LAUDER -Lash Primer Plus  (My fave!)

Don’t forget the primer if your mascara is not a long wear mascara. I used exactly this one here from Estee Lauder, because I really need my mascara last all day and evening and be work out proof as well. And this lash primer from Estee Lauder provides superb control for a perfect line dries quickly, stays in place and more importantly is long-wear formula. Ophthalmologist-tested.

LANCOME - Virtuose Divine Lasting Curves & Length Mascara (another fave of mine)   Last all day, it curls your lashes yet in the first stroke, smudge-proof & tear-proof, easy to remove & clear off.

YVES SAINT LAURENT-  Everlong Lengthening Waterproof Mascara – (good stuff too!)   Lash Growth Booster. Gives instant & long lasting lengthening effects. Prolongs your lashes for a sexy look.

MAVALA SWITZERLAND- Double Lash 

This is not mascara but treats your lashes to lengthens, thickens and protects the lashes. Stimulate the growth of the eyelashes. (My people from Brazil also can buy it, just go to straberrynet.com website and buy online, they delivery to Brazil as well I just not sure about the freight.)

Semi-permanent lashes: Do the lashes job. I have done it 4 times and it’s amazing, you can have shower, sleep, do whatever you want and your curly, long and sexy lashes are still right there. But they last only a month and are quite pricy for just a month. The average price in New Zealand is about $ 100.00. Also if you don’t go to a good salon/beauty parlour you can end up with misaligned and bent down lashes, as happened to me once.  If is not good you have to complain and ask for refund or to redo. I am not sure if in Brazil they have this procedure. Last time I was there I couldn`t find any place that make it.

Heated Eye Lash the new Curler:  The French brand Talika, promises to give up on the eyelashes in just 15 seconds. The gadget uses only the action of heat to promote transformation. (I never used But I look forward to use it and see if is good as they say). According to the manufacturer, the device comes with a microchip that monitors temperature and warns you when it is ready for use. The silicone pad changes colour and then simply position the lashes let the heat act from 10 to 15 seconds. For an even more pronounced curvature, it is recommended to leave on for 25 seconds instead. Finally, just apply the mask of your choice and get out there popping.

In Brazil: R$ 131 | SAC: 0800 163434

New Zealand:  Can  be bought from Amazon.com  from  USD$ 35.00 (there are others heated lashes curlers cheaper but not sure about the quality)

 www.talika.com  USD$37.00

My hot tip: when buying your mascara, check if the product is not too watery or too doughy, mascara have to have a nice and creamy consistency. Also when applying it start from root to tip, raising the lashes.
