Christian Dior Diorshow waterproof mascara in black - revisited

Hello everyone,

Happy New year to you all.  I know it's already February!

I wanted to do a very quick review.  One which I had done quite a while ago but would like to revisit.  I used Diorshow waterproof mascara earlier this week and am it reminded me of why I love it so much. 

I am lucky in that I have decent length on my lashes but the fullness/volume is lacking as I've "matured".  This mascara not only makes the most of the length you have but makes your lashes look full and lustrous!

The only negative (if you can call this a negative), is that when I put on my sunglasses my lashes were hitting the lenses....I know poor me right?

That's it.  That's the only con I have with this mascara.  And it's waterproof-ness?  Stayed put all day.  It was a hot day, I was perspiring and I even cried a little and it stayed put.  Tough stuff!

To remove I used a cream cleanser and it was all gone.  No rubbing and scubbing required.  That's great news for those of us who don't want to create unnecessary lines...

So a big thumbs up for this.  I use this mascara alot for weddings too and the clients like it.

Anyway I look forward to reviewing loads more products and would welcome any suggestions you all may have.

Until next time,

Margaret

 

Mascaras

Hi everyone,

This is my first blog and I hope to make many more in the future.  As a make up artist I am always being asked which mascara is the best mascara.  I have done lots research and tried loads and loads of different ones and  I can say that it's a jungle out there!  I have tried both budget and premium mascaras and I am going to let you know what to buy based on your eyelashes.  I will be updating and often as I can after having tried as many as I can.

Here's my verdict

Budget

For short straight lashes:  (Note that dead straight lashes will require the use of an eyelash curler to give them extra boost and curl.  Heated lash curlers are excellent for that too!)


Any mascara range that has a primer:


XXL Pro Extensions - Maybelline
Double Extension, Volume Shocking - L'Oreal
The primer will add another layer, stretch your lashes as far as they will go and create great volume.  It won't create something out of nothing but it will make the most of what you have!

For extra curl:

XXL Pro Curl - Maybelline
Lash Architect - L'Oreal (adds volume too!)
Max Bold Curves - Rimmel (adds volume too!)
Cover girl Lash Blast Fusion - give a beautiful, natural curl and loads of volume too!

For Volume:

Volume Express Range - Maybelline, am currently using the Falsie volume express and I love it!
Telescopic - L'Oreal
Lash blast Volume Blasting - Cover Girl this really is a brilliant mascara.  You have to work it a little but you get a great result!

Premium

For short straight lashes:

DiorShow Maximiser - Christian Dior
High Impact - Clinique

For extra curl:

Hypnose - Lancome
Virtuose - Lancome
The Mascara - Kevyn Aucoin (Curling) envelopes each lash in a little tube and washes off in water!  Great for those who smudge their mascara easily

For Volume:

DiorShow Black Out - Christian Dior, this really does give you huge boost to your lashes
The Mascara - Kevyn Aucoin (Volume)


I plan to try lots more so please bear with me.  I like to trial products as often as possible.  If you have any recommendations please let me know!

Until next time.
