I've been quite good in the past 12 months about changing mascaras every few months. I am prone to eye problems so try to be vigilant about stuff like that.
I also randomly sanitise my eye products with ethanol.
But I digress,
Current favourite mascaras!
All of them have little rubber bristles - I did not realise that at all until I took photos. But I have mentioned before that its my favourite brush type.
First up - Essence Plump no Clump (I think it's now discontinued?)
This is a nice natural looking mascara (by my standards). A light coating that says "hey I have lashes and they are pretty" without being too dramatic. And sometimes thats what you want from a mascara. Just a little icing on the cake. The brush is a monster and I think I would use it more if it had a smaller brush. The product is a really nice consistency and the brush doesn't get too much on it, so only minimal wipeoff needed.
Maybelline Lash Sensational
My new fav! I was late to bandwagon for this nabbed one during the last Priceline 40% sale. I have fallen in love. So much in love that I've already bought a replacement from Chemist Warehouse. Oh this just works so well. I think it works better than last years favourite from Essence. And you know it will be in a sale sooner rather than later so no fear of having to buy it full price. With my allergy eyes, I don't want to pay heaps for something. It is a wet formulation, but not a runny wet like Rimmel. This has a heavier gel like consistency and builds nicely, but you do need to take off a lot of product when you take the brush out. The little tiny combs on one side a great for getting mascara on the base of the lashes.
Revlon - (The one with the midget brush) Ultimate All-In-One
Ok. I did not expect the brush to be SO DAMN TINY. But it works. I think I'll like it more as the formula dries a bit. Same performance as the Essence one above, so in terms of saving money, I would repurchase the Essence mascara over this one (if it was still around). It is a bit fiddly with the midget brush to get the lashes, more time and effort compared to the Lash Sensational. So I'm a little "meh" on this one. I have much fear of stabbing my eyeball with this midget brush.
What's in your current mascara rotation?
