One of my favourite products to review is mascara. I love a product that can volumize and lengthen my lashes to make them stand out.

While in the Gold Coast, I went to Priceline (shock) and picked up this new mascara by Cover Girl. I am a big fan of the Cover Girl Lash Blast so I had high expectations for this mascara.

Here's what it looks like:

The packaging is really cute & it's shorter than your average mascara.

The brush is named the 'Volume Igniter' brush & its a weird shape, but I liked it.

Here are my eyeballs without the mascara:

aaaaaand here it is with it on!

Overall I'm really happy with this product. While it isn't the most amazing volumising mascara, it did evenly distribute the product to avoid clumping even when I applied multiple coats.

I would recommend curling your lashes prior to application to enhance the overall look.

You can buy this product from any store that sells Cover Girl.

Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumising Mascara || Review time!

I know I haven't done a make-up related post in a while but you can blame uni for that. Seriously, this last semester has been a shocker!

Anyways, Gideon was nice enough to let me buy some make-up on eBay because I did a HUGE clean out of my collection and threw out a whole bunch of really old make-up aaaand he thought I could use some new stuff.

Still on its way is a Collection 2000 concealer which I heard was one of the best concealers out there, Hard Candy concealer aaaaaand... more Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumising Mascara.

Based off of that, I can tell you it is amazing.

Oh also... I bought 3 more tubes to get me through tough times.

Yepp. It's good.

Jordana Mascara

Safe to say this mascara is amazing. It volumizes and lengthens aaaaaand is overall the best for the little price tag.

I would compare this to Imitable Intense Mascara by Chanel which retails (in Australia) for $50 whereas the Jordana mascara (with shipping) cost me $13 which is pretttttttty good considering everything make-up related in Australia is overpriced and that's what I have to compare the price to.

You can buy it in a 3 pack for even better value HERE!

So definitely try it out if you can/want to.

Ok bye.

First Impressions | Lush Eyes Right Mascara.

I think we're all familiar with Lush cosmetics. If not, let me give you a run down.

Lush is a cruelty free, organic cosmetic brand that prides itself on using only the freshest products to make their soaps, bath bombs, lotions, perfumes and cosmetics. It is amazing.

I love their values. I got these straight from their website:

THE 'WE BELIEVE'

We believe in making effective products from fresh* organic* fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics.

We believe in buying ingredients only from companies that do not commission test on animals and in testing our products on humans.

We invent our own products and fragrances; we make them fresh by hand using little or no preservative or packaging, using only vegetarian ingredients and we tell you when they were made.

We believe in happy people making happy soap, putting our faces on our products and making our mums proud.

We believe in long candlelit baths, sharing showers, massage, filling the world with perfume and in the right to make mistakes, lose everything and start again.

We believe our products are good value, that we should make a profit and that the customer is always right.

*We also believe words like 'Fresh' and 'Organic' have an honest meaning beyond marketing.

I've been using their products for as long as I can remember & my collection spans from soaps, solid perfumes, hair products and more. I love their brand and their products and I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

For today's first impressions I thought i'd go ahead and use a product I've never used before, Lush Eyes Right mascara in black.

I just want to say that I LOVE this product. My goodness, it is amazing and I paid $19.95 for it so it's definitely worth it!

If I had to choose any make up product to use for the rest of my life it would be mascara, and it would be tough to choose between Lush Eyes Right and Covergirl Lash Blast. Seriously, it's that good.

The directions on the bottle say that you would achieve a natural look with one coat but because I love a more dramatic look, I went with 3-4 coats on both my top and bottom lashes.

Photos:

The only down fall is the short applicator brush as it made it a little awkward to use, but with practice it allows you to have more control of the product and it also makes application more precise as you are able to coat even the tiniest lashes with mascara. Excellent!

Overall i'd give this product:

5 unicorns/ out of 5.

Stay Classy
