Maybelline pulse perfection mascara 

(Vibrating)

Price: about $15 (ewww for a drugstore brand)

Ok. Ok. I was taken in by the glittery and new…

And its maybe line. I don’t know why I even buy their mascara, I hate them ALL.

This one is the worst though.

The whole gimmick is the brush vibrates, separating the lashes, supposedly making them fuller.

It doesn’t work. My cover girl BIG LASH gives me bigger fuller lashes.

I can’t even tell the difference between using the mascara with and without vibrations.

One thing that the mascara does well, is it clumps very little, even with a couple of coats.

The vibrating helps with this, but barely….

The reason I hate this Mascara though, it flakes.

It flakes like crazy.

I admit, I tend to rub my eyes. But this is ridiculous, After like an hour my boyfriend is saying I have black stuff all over my face.

And I do… It’s so bad.

Even when I don’t rub at my eyes at all, the stupid stuff still flakes.

It’s so bad it’s un-usable.

Maybelline intense xxl  volume +length micro fiber mascara

Price: $6.34 @ Walmart US

Since I madly love big full dark lashes, any product that promises to make my lashes bigger, fuller and/or darker is a must try.

Since maybe line isn’t a brand that I normally like for Mascara I’m not entirely sure why I even bought this particular one… 

It’s the standard duel mascara, a white base coat, that adds length and fullness to the lashes, and a second, black coat to make them dark.

The base is pretty good. It goes on smoothly, and does add a bit of length, and a tiny bit of fullness.

It’s not exceptional. But it’s good.

The mascara portion, alone is also pretty good. It’s a nice deep black, it clumps some, but nothing major, and it adds some fullness on its own.

Perplexing the base and Mascara are not a good combination…

With the addition of the base, the mascara all of a sudden clumps like crazy!

I’ve tried letting my lashes dry after the base, gently combing them through before and/or after they are dry, then applying the mascara.

Still, they clump, a lot.

The Mascara worn alone,  fairly rub and smudge proof. It lasts a whole day, then removes easily with make up remover.

With the base, all of a sudden it flakes…. And smudges.

Its idiotic.
