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.

Verdict: Expensive disappointment.

Cons: A very basic mascara that gives no wow factor.

Verdict: Inadequate.

Verdict: Good.
