DuWop Lash Venom Mascara
I am a fan of DuWop Original Lip Venom which is a nice basic clear lip plumper that has a good amount of tingle, and hence a bit of actual plumping to it (don’t expect miracles though, it simply is a good gloss that plumps a little, where most don...
Mascara Monday: Smashbox Bionic Mascara
I was quite happy with Smashbox Bionic Mascara. In fact, it was one of the better mascaras I have tried in a while. At first blush, Smashbox Bionic Mascara looks pretty standard. Standard black tube, fairly standard bristle brush, etc. But the brush ...
Mascara Monday: Benefit BadGal Lash
BADgal lash mascara advertises itself this way: “With a big, bad brush and a rich, black formula, its like wearing a set of false eyelashes without the glue.” That is pretty accurate. The brush on Benefit BadGal is big and fat. That isnâ...
Mascara Monday: L’Oreal Voluminous Naturale Mascara
L’Oreal Voluminous Naturale Mascara is a very nice thin rubber brush mascara that provides good length and definition. I tend to prefer the smaller rubber brushes because they provide better definition without clumping issues. The formula for ...
Mascara Monday: Stila Multi-Effect Mascara
Stila Multi-Effect Mascara provided a very pleasant surprise for me—it actually can curl! It seems that so many mascaras claim that they can curl the lashes, and then they really don’t measure up. Curling is either minimal, or it doesn’t last. ...
Mascara Monday Review: L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion
Total Beauty sent me a sample of the not yet released L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara. The mascara will be on the market in November, 2009. I had very mixed feelings about it the first time I used it, but with use, I warmed up to it. It seems ...
Mascara Monday: Pur Minerals Mascara
Pur Minerals is not exactly the company I would think of for mascara, after all, their focus is on mineral makeup. But I gave a sample of Pur Minerals Mascara a try and it is a pretty darn good basic mascara. The brush on this one is of standard siz...
Mascara Monday: Controversial Beauty Products
Today’s Mascara Monday post is syndicated from Total Beauty because it include a mascara that I really dislike, yet others love—Maybelline Great Lash. I agree that this one is controversial. You will see magazines and such rate it as a cult favor...
Mascara Monday: Maybelline Lash Discovery
Maybelline Lash Discovery is one of my old favorite mascaras. Before I ended up getting so many different kinds of mascara in order to test them, it was the one that I bought over and over again. My favorite thing about Maybelline Lash Discovery is t...
Mascara Monday: Almay One Coat Nourishing and Lengthening Mascara
Unfortunately my test of Almay’s One Coat Nourishing and Lengthening Mascara did not go so well for me. I have read some good reviews of it (total beauty readers seem to love it), and found it to be serviceable, but I’m not crazy about it. The ma...
Mascara Monday: Best Drugstore Mascaras
Today’s Mascara Monday is syndicated from Total Beauty. I agree with some items and not with others on their list. For example, the Almay mascara listed was a bit clumpy for me and smudged (I’ll have a review up on it in a few weeks). But number ...
Mascara Monday: Physician’s Formula Mineral Mascara
Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Mascara is rather interesting. The brush is quite unique—one side has small rubber bristles in a comb shape, while the other side is essentially flat with tiny bristles. The idea is that you can use the flatter si...

Mascara Monday: CoverGirl Eye Lights
Custom made for various eye colors, CoverGirl Eye Lights claims that it will make your eyes seem brighter. I picked up a tube at ULTA and found that it is a decent enough mascara that maybe adds a bit of brightness to your eye color. The mascara it...
Mascara Monday: Max Factor 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper
2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper is essentially the same mascara as CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara. I happen to like both quite a bit and the CoverGirl one is sometimes cheaper. This mascara provides good volume and decent length and definition. I ha...
Mascara Monday: Korres Natural Mascara
If you are looking for a good natural mascara, take a look at Korres Deep Colour Mascara. This standard black mascara has a fairly big brush with a good tapered end. According to the company literature, Korres mascara contains Provitamin B5 for con...
Mascara Monday: Sephora Brand Curling Mascara
I grabbed a Sephora Brand Curling Mascara in Brown while at Sephora a couple of weeks ago. I’m going to give this one an good/average rating depending on the desired use. The mascara does a decent job lengthening, nothing too dramatic, but not bad ...
Mascara Monday: Dior Diorshow Mascara, a Cult Classic
I have already reviewed Dior’s Diorshow Iconic Mascara (read review), but have not formally written about the original. Dior DiorShow Mascara is a cult classic favorite. Time and again you will see it listed as among the best mascaras out there, an...
Mascara Monday Review: Maybelline Lash Stiletto
Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara is a bit interesting. It lengthens very well—in fact I may have gotten more length from this one than from any other mascara. It also defines fairly well. But it does so in a way that made my lashes look thicker at ...
Mascara Monday: Cargo Texas Lash Mascara
CARGO TexasLash™ Mascara is a mascara for the big brush fans. This large brush mascara aimed at huge lashes. It generally succeeds, but with some clumping if the brush is not carefully wiped. I found that this one give volume more than length. I...
Mascara Monday: Lumene Blueberry Curl Among Best Lumene Products From Total Beauty
I always thought that Lumene Blueberry Curl (read previous review) was a quality mascara. Apparently the readers at Total Beauty agree! Below is a list of Lumene’s highest and lowest rated products at Total Beauty, with the mascara among the highes...

A fellow beauty blogger has developed an all natural eyelash growth serum. LashMantra is a 100% Natural Eyelash Growth Serum which is made with Eighteen 100% Pure Cold Pressed Oils and Vitamin E Oil. From the website: Cold Pressed Plant Oils (Nutrit...
Mascara Monday Review: Iman Global Chic Signature Gold Long and Lush Mascara Duo
Boy do I love this mascara! Iman Long and Lush Mascara Duo has two brushes. One brush is comb-like for creating well defined and long lashes. The other is of a more standard shape and size for creating volume and intensifying the color. The combinati...
Mascara Monday: Lowest Rated Mascaras
For today’s Mascara Monday, I have a piece syndicated from Total Beauty on their lowest rated mascara. I haven’t tried all of these, but I will say that I didn’t think the Smashbox mascara on the list was all that bad. I didn’t love it eith...
L’Oreal Double Extension Beauty Tubes Mascara
L’Oreal has come out with a very effective version of a “tube” type of mascara. If you are not familiar with how tubing works, it essentially coats the lashes all around and lengthens them in a manner that forms tubes around each lash. These tu...
Paula Begoun’s Best Inexpensive Regular Mascaras
Paula Begoun, known for the book Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, has a great article up on her website: Recession Proof Beauty, The Best Inexpensive Products. This week for Mascara Monday, I thought I would feature her picks. Here...
Mascara Monday: Too Faced Lash Injection
Too Faced Lash Injection is a mascara that, as long as you carefully wipe the brush before use, gives very nice length and medium volume to the lashes. I tend to not care for the big thick brushes, so Too Faced made me happy right off with the slight...
Mascara Monday Review: MarvaLash
MarvaLash is unique mascara that actually left me wondering why nobody had thought of this before! The mascara comes with two brushes. OK, so that isn’t all that uncommon. But with Marvalash, one brush is dry, and the other has the actual product...
Mascara Monday Review: Dior Diorshow Iconic Mascara
Dior has always made quality mascara as part of their Diorshow line . Dior Diorshow Iconic Mascara is a particularly impressive one. It was created for fashion shows and red carpet events, and gives incredible length. It also defines the lashes well,...
