Luxury Mascara vs, Drug store Mascara




Mascara is one of the most common items found in every girls kit. It makes lashes look fuller, longer and darker. Mascara coats the lashes with the pigment and other ingredients to make the lashes stand out. Different formulas and different brush types can give different results. for example, lengthening mascaras may coat the lashes with polymers to create a smoother, longer look from root to tip while thickening formulas may include plumping agents to make each lash look fuller.

Today ill be sharing my favorite Luxury Mascara Brands and Drug store Mascara Brands. 


LUXURY BRANDS



1. DIOR SHOW BLACKOUT - Definitely one of the best mascaras you could ever find in the market. It lengthens, defines, volumes, curls and separates at the same time. This was my favorite mascara before but I noticed starts clumping towards the end of my lashes.

*can I just say... im totally in love with LANCOME mascaras!

2. LANCOME Oscillation Vibrating Infinite Mascara - This vibrating mascara does everything it promises. It gives your lashes incredible length and thickens them, making your eyelashes look gorgeous all the way. the only problem is the price tag! (compared to the other Lancome variants this is the most expensive).

3. LANCOME Amplicils Panoramic Volume Mascara - As its name says it adds volume to lashes,has great coverage and colors your lashes without clumping even when applying several coats.

4. LANCOME Hypnose - Of all the Lancome mascaras I own, it is my HG (Holy grail) Mascara! its my ultimate favorite. Hypnose made my thin lashes really long and thick. In this mascara I got the thickest lashes I could ever dream of.

5. LANCOME Vitrouse - With its revolutionary curve brush helps curl lashes for up to 12 hours and it doesnt smudge. Gives lashes extra volume, length and curl.


DRUG STORE MASCARAS


6. MAYBELLINE Express Volume Mascara - I love Maybelline Mascaras, not just it cost way less than luxury brands but performs just as well as them. I personally like this variant because it game my lashes a really thick appearance with its black coal pigments made my eyes really pop.

7. MAYBELLINE Great Big Lash - This one is one of the most popular drugstore mascaras that girls all over US has been raving about. It really did make lashes "big" because it gave volume and absolute coverage to lashes. the only down side is its not really waterproof so it may smudge a bit.

8. LOREAL Double Extension mascara - My first ever mascara was this brand, using this will really make you look like you are wearing fake lashes. because it will double the size of your lashes and provides an intense black coat.

9. COVERGIRL Lash blast - love love love this brand. I love how the wand reaches every portion of my lashes while giving it volume and length.


Mascara prices can range from $8- $40 or 300php - 2000php, but it doesn't  mean that the one that cost less might perform poorly and the one that cost so much performs better. it depends on the brand and variant of your choice. The products above might have worked for me but it doesn't mean it would also work well on you. it really depends on what type of lash you have and what mascara best fits your lash hairs. :)

I first found out about this shade of lipstick when I worked behind the scene for Velvets shoot where I met a famous make up artist named RB Chanco and she recommended me this shade aside from that Ive heard a lot of raves about this product so i went to try it myself.
