Flutter of Eyelashes

Domestic Goblin continues the pilgrimage to find her Holy Grail mascara:


~ Maracuja Oil Mascara by 100% Pure
Pros: Water resistant. Vegan. No adverse reactions.
Cons: Unstable formula. The first application was perfect but subsequent applications were gloopy and wet. 
Verdict: Okay as long as you wipe off any excess.


~ Max Factor Masterpiece Waterproof Mascara
Pros: Holds your curl all day. Definitely waterproof.
Cons: Makes lashes look too long and thin (think Lisa Simpson).
Verdict: Okay.


Almay Get Up and Grow Waterproof Mascara
Pros: Dry formula with noticeable lash growth.
Cons: Lashes became unruly. Water-resistant rather than waterproof.
Verdict: Okay.


H&M Pure Definition Mascara
Pros: Clean natural finish. Minimal smudging.
Cons: Only water resistant, not water proof. Does not hold my curl.
Verdict: Adequate.


~ YSL Babydoll Mascara

Pros: Tear-proof and shower-resistent despite not claiming to be a waterproof mascara.
Cons: Made lashes look thin and brittle.
Verdict: Expensive disappointment.


~ Lily Lolo Natural Mascara - New
Pros:  Natural formula with no chemical nasties.
Cons: Formula quite gloopy. Need to wipe off the excess.
Verdict: Okay.


~ Maybelline Classic Volume Express Waterproof Mascara
Pros: Affordable price.
Cons: A very basic mascara that gives no wow factor.
Verdict: Inadequate.


~ NYX Stacked Mascara
Pros: No clumping.
Cons: Apart from darken my lashes it doesn't do anything else to them. No volume, no curl, no length.
Verdict: Inadequate.


Shu Uemura Ultimate Natural Mascara
Pros: No clumping, holds a curl, waterproof.
Cons: Did not survive an eyebrow threading session. Tacky feel to lashes.
Verdict: Good.


~ Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Mascara
Pros: Very close to Maybelline Full n Soft Waterproof.
Cons: High end price.
Verdict: High end HG option.


Currently on the waiting list to be tested:

為愛流過淚是一種天真 
為愛吃過苦向誰傾吐
回頭看看你 那麼堅強的眼 

能不能再愛我多一些

為愛流過淚我從不後悔 

為愛吃過苦我不認輸
誰也停不住下 在心中的雪 

受點傷也許會更瞭解

藍天依然那麼寬 

黑夜依然那麼深
站在風裡我的心 

要自己照顧
就算為愛流過淚 

就算年輕會傷悲
你可願陪著我 

靜靜走過這一回
