Make it Up ♥ Wet n Wild Mega Volume mascara

 
I was inspired to try this mascara after I read a great review about it.  It’s a very impressive little $2.99 mascara.  I’m gonna be honest, I think a lot of times you get what you pay for.  This is completely untrue with the amazing little mascara.  This mascara performs as well mascaras in a much higher price bracket.  It is a super dark black mascara in a volume enhancing formula.  It does not clump!  You can coat on a lot of layers without getting clumpy (wooooo).  It also comes off fairly easily.  This is important to me because I’ve loved mascaras that I cannot get to come off.  This becomes a major issue when you wear mascara everyday.  Now this mascara is not magic… I’m still looking for that mascara.  I really like super-sized huge lashes and this more of natural look.  But a good mascara for $3 bucks, who thought that was possible?  Also, I would not recommend this mascara for peeps with sensitive eyes.  I don’t have super sensitive eyes, but I have noticed it’s a little bothersome if it gets too close to your eyes.  But overall, this mascara is such a ridiculous bargain!  And don’t we all love a good deal? Stay pretty honeybees!

Make It Up ❤ L'oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara

I decided to try this mascara on the recommendation of the fabulous make-up blogger Kandee.  She said it was one of her drug store favorites.  I also read a lot of positive reviews online.  A long time ago, I used a similar mascara with a primer that you use before applying the black mascara.  

The primer definitely seemed to help my wimpy lashes.  The two step process makes putting on your mascara more of a production (i.e. might not be the best when you are running out the door in five minutes).  I put on two coats of the primer and let it completely dry (based on the recommendations of other reviewers who said if you don’t let it dry completely it can get mixed up with the mascara and make the mascara clumpy.)  

Then I put on a generous two coats of the black mascara.  A lot of online reviewers said this mascara did not smudge.  I always use mascara on my bottom lashes and do find that it often smudges below my eye (typically during application).  This mascara did not do that, which is a very nice feature and quite impressive. It does a pretty good job lengthening.  It uses the beauty tube technology so essentially the mascara is designed to attach tiny tubes to your eye lashes that make the lashes longer.  I think it did make my eye lashes a little longer.  It doesn’t do much volume wise which I think is the main area the mascara is lacking (and probably the main thing my sad little eyelashes are missing also).  The mascara is also supposed to come off easier with water and slight rubbing, but it did not seem to come off easier to me.

I still ended up adding some fake eyelashes Andrea Mod 33
