The Mascara Thread

[hautechild]

^ I really like YSL Faux Cils, it's one of my favourte mascaras and I would definitely recommend it

Although someone on here recommended Everlong, which I'm thinking about trying.

 

[Guessgirl96]

whats is like?
ive been thinking about getting one.

oh!
and the YSL mascara, which one do you guys suggest ?

faux cils is their most popular, I've tried it and didnt really like it. I recommend diorshow iconic if your going for a dramatic look, it thickens and lengthens more than any I've tried although it doesnt hold a curl very well.

see my mom is going to vegas in august, so shes going to go to sephora for me and get me the make up that i want

so im going by reviews on sephora.com and you guys, and so far it looks like the YSL mascara is the one i want.

btw, is there an eyeliner thread ?
i need some new stuff.

Why dont you just order online? Shipping is free over $50, you get to pick 3 samples, another with their weekly specials codes and another for each $100 you spend.

i tried before but you need a credit card.
i dont have one

plus, i have to wait until my paychecks get better so i can afford a 30 dollar mascara without going broke with the added subway cost.

so out of DiorShow Iconic and YSL Faux Cils, which would you reccomend.

I like Iconic more than YSL, though I only had a mini of Dior's, but for me Faux Cils looked good only for a very short time, 2 weeks maybe. Than it got way too thick, so I had like 5 eyelashes, and had to use the comb. It seemed to me like there's too much of product on the brush, though I tried wiping it with a tissue, that didn't help. So my vote is for Diorsow Iconic, it looks much more natural, though it's visible on your lashes).

I've written this so many times I think I'm going to make it into my signature:

I hate Diorshow. I tried a couple of them and they all smudged

I love YSL Faux Cils, but if you aren't prone to smudges maybe Diorshow will be good for you

I don't know, this might be the worst advice ever but sometimes I put just a tiny drip of water (very little or else it won't work) in the mascara when it gets too thick real quickly

 

[colourmefashion]

its such a hard choice
i was reading reviews about both, and i think im leaning more toward YSL from what i read, but I dont know

 

[fashionjunkiexx]

my dior iconic brush broke, and my dior show mascara dried up completely, although i may try the water tip with it.

I'm so glad you mentioned this - I thought it was my imagination since I've never had this happen to a mascara but I had the same experience. I loved for a little while, it started clumping and I got another one thinking the one I had was just old or something. Same thing happend again and I went back to iconic.

 

[colourmefashion]

would it make a difference if i used one of those little eyelash combs ?
i usually do whenever im rushing and just slap the mascara on.
takes the little clumps out and spreads the lashes..

ugh.
i hate decisions

Has anyone tried the Maybelline Turbo Boost? If so is it any good?

Reading beauty product reviews can be a tedious process. Unless there is a general consensus, they aren't very beneficial to me. Plus, I think I pay more attention to positive comments than negative ones.

But I digress... I haven't used YSL Faux Clis, so I can't be of any assistance there. I do, however, love DiorShow (not Iconic, the original). My friend has tried both the Iconic and original mascaras, and she said Iconic was a bit clumpy. She tries new mascaras all the time but always returns to DiorShow.

Hope this helps a bit.

I've tried it a long time ago and it was very meh

it's ok, nothing special.. it didn't give me any more volume than I necessary had

To confuse you even more, I had the exact opposite experience. I found the original and iconic diorshow very similar except that iconic clumps a lot less so I could layer more of it on without it looking bad.

Guessgirl96, how do you remove your Iconic? It's the only think I dislike about it, otherwise it's perfect for curl, volume, seperation

 

[colourmefashion]

I think im leaning more toward DiorShow Iconic now..
it seems to be good right ?

I agree it's hard to remove, especially now that I got the waterproof one. I use one of the shu uemura oil cleansers to wash my face and remove makeup, and then this one my lancome to remove the stubborn bits.

colourmefashion - iconic is definitely the one I'd recommend

 

[miu_miu]

Iconic's the best - I have little to no interest in other mascaras since I started wearing it, it's that good
