Here’s a beauty post. A little break from my food entries.

I feel like venturing out after finishing a few tubes of L’Oreal Voluminous. I picked up Maybelline’s Define-A-Lash and the Falsies Flared Volum’ Express.

What’s with these long names…

I only used this mascara for a few days. Why? It was flaking like crazy… Lots of black flakes would drop under my eyes upon application. It did give my lashes volume, but I just can’t stand the flakes. I never had a mascara that would do this to me. Very disappointed.

Until later…I realized that I may have bought one that came from a bad batch because I realized how dry is the product. I think, somehow, the air went into the tube when it was packaged.

Maybe I should buy another one just to testify…however…I really don’t feel like taking the chance.

Let’s move on to our next mascara. Quite a stellar.

This mascara is not meant to give volume. Like the name states, this mascara defines the lashes. What does that mean? It gives every lash nice length and separates ever lash gracefully. This results a very clean look.

In order to have a bit more volume, I would apply multiple layers at the base of my eyelashes without completely passing through to the end of the lashes.

I really love how much length this mascara gives! 🙂

It’s been almost 4 months that I am using this…and it’s near its end as it is flaking like the falsies…Therefore, this reinforces my hypothesis that the Falsies Flared may have been dried up in the package.

Here’s my lashes with Define-A-Lash.

Little update on Maximum Eyelash Conditioner:

I’ve been using Maximum Eyelash Conditioner for 6 months now. The product is fabulous. After 2 months, in order to maintain the length, I only use the product 2-3 times per week. I did not experience any allergic reaction. The conditioner helped my lashes to grow longer but not thicker.

Sadly, it seems like the company has ceased its operations and my product is running low!

I will try another brand and hoping it will yield the same result… (I just ordered Rapidlash…let’s see how does that go)

Lashes should not be downplayed!
