Hey All!
Hallelujah Jesus lives!! Hope ya'll had a grand Easter and that
you were able to take some time to relax and reflect on why we celebrate Jesus'
death. I am now officially on "holidays" and I've put it in inverted
commas because my holidays will be anything but that I have assignments
(emphasis on the plural!) university open day, wedding, job hunting and so much
needs to be done in a short period of time. But I know I'll get through it all,
by the grace of God!
Now onto the blogpost!
EVERLASTING LASHES
This blog post is a little different as it is centred around a
beauty product that has given me lashes for days! Quick side note is that I
don't really wear makeup, not for any specific reason just that it hasn't
interested me. Yes lipstick has had the pleasure of gracing my lips and mascara
my eyelashes but it is not a regular occurrence. But it must be known that my
lovely mother has been not so discreetly buying me make-up products for a
very long time! She often buys me things when she is #feelingspendy and usually
its a massive miss, but this time round she hit the jackpot.
Maybelline New York the Falsies Volum' Express Everlasting
(waterproof)
Not having a lot of experience with mascara, but having seen a lot
of people wear it I was able to compile a standardised list of expectations
that I have for mascaras. The expectations are;
1. Visibly longer and thicker eyelashes
Is this not the point of mascaras?
One thing that I've found with other mascaras that mamma Sego has bought me is
that I have to apply two coat to see any visible changes, but with this Mascara
all it took was one coat and I'm set for the day! Long eyelashes not only look
great but also accentuate the shape of my eyes, also giving me greater
validation when I batt my eyes to emphasis a point.
2. Non-clumpy
Before wearing mascara I
used to see a lot of older girls with clumped up eyelashes and I thought if
mascara does that to my eyelashes then I don't want to use it, but each to his
own right. This mascara doesn't come out clumpy on the brush and it coats my
eyelashes evenly and doesn't stick them together. Another reason I absolutely
love the fact that is doesn't clump, because I have a fear that clumps of
mascara will fall into my eye once it dries (You think irrational I say 100%
possible!!).
3. Waterproof
No I don't cry often or unexpectedly,
not that there is anything wrong with a good cry to let the emotions of the
day, week, month or year out, or the beauty of tears of joy (hahaha). But
honestly waterproof keeps you prepared for the unexpected and lately my eyes
have been very watery, I have no idea why but this mascara had held on!
4. Light weight
Not sure if its
because I’m not used to wearing mascara but I remember the first couple times I
applied it I felt like keeping my eyes open was a work out, no lie I
probably burnt a few calories. I realise that when you have mascara on you can
feel it but it shouldn’t bother me. This mascara is great at that; I am not
breaking a sweat with every 10 blinks but rather effortlessly fluttering
my eyelashes.
Keeping my eyes open with ease (ahahaha)
5. Easy to remove
I’m particularly lenient with this fifth and final expectation,
only if the first four are met though and that’s the case with this mascara. I
know in the past I’ve struggled to remove mascara and it’s not fun, well my experience
was not. This mascara is very much so waterproof, don’t make the silly mistake
I did and try and use water to remove this mascara because that won’t work
(hahahahah). I used coconut oil to remove the mascara and it worked very well (coconut
oil works really well as a makeup remover).
Another great thing about this mascara is the
brush. It's curved, making it easier to apply to the lashes and also acting as
guide as to how your meant to apply the mascara for the best result, this
is great for me as I'm still in the early stages of being a regular user
of mascara so the assistance is appreciated.
I would highly recommend this mascara to those
who are new to wonderful and often confusing world of make-up and to those who
have been in the game for a while. I hope if you give it a try that you are
left with long thick, non-clumpy waterproof, lightweight eyelashes!
Hope ya'll enjoyed this blog post and I really
did enjoy writing this blog post a lot more than I expected to.
