Most of us want our mascara to be waterproof. Isn’t it? Be it black, brown or of any other color; we don’t want our mascara to get smudged or faded. You cry, you sweat and you play in rain – but still you want your mascara to stay as it is. But what about the removing part? There comes the pain! So here are the instructions how to remove waterproof mascara perfectly.
Hi my friends,
All makeup lovers would agree that a dash of mascara will open up your eyes and make you look more vibrant. After kajal, mascara is what you need to define your eyes. I too had purchased one, with the same expectations, which is the Lakme nine to five intense volume mascara. But did it do well? Or did it not? Let me tell you guys.
An all-day, high performance Lakme 9 to 5 Intense Volume Mascara that pumps up volume to give you dramatically long lashes.
Step 1: Gently run the brush through your lashes from the base to the tip of your upper eyelash on the underside.
Step 2: Gently brush some mascara onto your lower lashes using the same technique. Wait for the mascara to dry before applying a second coat.
Price and Quantity:
Rs. 375 for 7.5 ml (I think the price has been changed now)
I like the sleek black packaging. Carrying it in your purse or your makeup bag is very easy as it is a good and sturdy pack. I had accidentally dropped the wand down and the outer covering of the top broke into pieces like glass! Anyway I have the inner plastic handle intact. The mascara doesn’t dry up inside the tube.
The wand is not very thick and so the mascara coating doesn’t make my eye lashes look voluminous, no sir! My lashes kind of stuck together when the mascara dried. I tried wiggling the wand as I moved from the lash root to the tip but that didn’t help too. Okay I decide on another coat, maybe I will fix it up then. It was even worse this time around. After it all dried up, I had to use an unused spoolie brush to separate my lashes a bit to make my eyes look human.
My lashes felt like they were small sticks that would break off anytime. Somehow my eyes look ghastly with this mascara on. In the swatch, I had to take time and separate the lashes to make it view-able.
Good thing is the mascara didn’t fade even after a whole day. I had splashed water onto my face a few times too, still didn’t budge. That came as a disadvantage at the end of the day when I wanted to remove my mascara. I had raccoon eyes by the time I managed to take it off.
Before and After:
MABH Rating: 2.5/5
Final word:
No intense volume, sticky hard eyelashes, high price. Not worth it. It MAY work okay for you if you use only one coat. But there are a lot more options available for you to choose from that are affordable too.
Hola bonitas,
How are you all doing? Today I am going to review Lakme Eyeconic Curling Mascara. Lakme’s Eyeconic and Absolute range have created turmoil in the minds of Indian beauties; hence I also wanted to give it a try. So, here are the details.
Intense black finish, enriched with D-Panthenol, keeps lashes soft and smooth. Makes eyes look better. Easy to apply.
Price and Quantity:
Rs. 250 for 9ml.
Usage Direction:
Start with the upper lid. Brush the underside of lashes in upward strokes. Next with downward strokes brush the upper side of the lashes of the lower lid.
Shelf Life:
2 years.
Lakme Eyeconic Curling Mascara comes in a sleek black long packaging. The mascara wand is long, actually longer than usual and the brush area is curled. The liquid inside is thick and black.
The curled brush sure makes the application easier. One or two strokes give a body and volume to my lashes. The only thing I did not like is it leaves clumps on the lashes. I tried to remove it with its brush and also with eye grooming brush, but it was still there. Now, I might be wrong about this, but honestly, I thought my lashes would look better without the clumps.
The intense black color makes my eye lashes and also my eyes look bigger and prominent. It is instructed to use makeup remover to remove this Curling Mascara, but plain water will be enough to do the job. So, you can sense that this mascara is not waterproof, not that it claimed also. It is very easy to remove from the lashes, which is a relief for me. I hate spending time rubbing my lashes to remove mascara; it makes me worry about losing a few lashes in that process. 😛
Overall, I loved this mascara, it color, its long wand. And most of all, getting a pretty dramatic eyes in only Rs. 250 mascara that too from Lakme is a big win.
On My Eyes:
MABH Rating: 4.8/5.
Do I Recommend?:
Yes. It is great mascara in Rs.250 range.
Would I Repurchase?:
Yes!
