My new favourite: Diorshow Iconic. I'm in love!

 

[Luxx]

Did you get it Luxx? It has amazing reviews on MUA, reeeeally curious

I did wind up getting it and I really like it! The black is a very rich, deep black color and with a few coats it definitely gives you that false eyelashes look that I personally love. Very intense mascara. It reminds me of a more volumizing version of Diorshow Iconic. That said I think that you need to do at least two coats of Eyes to Kill for it to be REALLY intensely dramatic. Though I suppose that could be said for any mascara really.

I think that tonight I'm going to do Diorshow on one eye and Eyes to Kill on the other and see which one looks better.

I also want to say that for just an everyday normal look I've been really enjoying the Kiehl's mineral mascara. Very good stuff. Great for a natural look, reminds me of my old school favorite Clinique Naturally Glossy.

more volumizing iconic? awesome
thanks for the review Luxx, I think I will pick this up - how is it to remove?

For those who've tried Dior Iconic Extreme - does it hold curls well?
I like the Dior Iconic, but I find that my lashes don't stay curled long.

For me, nothing beats the original Dior Show though.

Could you recommend a good dark plum mascara? Thanks.

I've not used, but heard good things about Benefit's plum mascara

Thank you, Belowen.

Do you curl your lashes before you put on the mascara?

^If the mascara doesn't hold a curl, it certainly doesn't help curling the lashes beforehand

i got a sample of the benefit bad gal plum, but then a friend told me that ysl faux cils comes in fascinating violet and i got that (since it's my favorite mascara)...
it also comes in deep burgundy (a reddish plum) and a dark navy...

i've also been using the kiehl's mineral mascara for everyday and it's great...
i had been using the weightless volume one from neutrogena...

I read somewhere plum/maroon mascara makes blue eyes pop. Can anyone vouch for this?

Also, I ordered a tube of DiorShow Iconic tonight. I cannot wait for it to arrive. (By the way, my friend who said it clumps was mistaken... she was talking about Blackout, not Iconic.)

The best plummy mascara is the Faux Cils by YSL.... In the Netherlands is the color number 05 and 06...

Hmm I just wanna know if MAC mascara users are happy with their products? Any reviews? Thanks!

I've tried one, and it was utter crap. Made my lashes clump, pin straight and rock hard. So awful, the worst I've ever tried.

 

[classicalbang]

^ I had the same experience. When it comes to mascara, most drugstore brands surpass MAC.

 

[Belowen]

Ooh, YSL Faux Cils comes in other colours? Nice! I'm off to look now...

 

[Esperanza]

does anyone know if that new covergirl mascara is good? i think its new in australia. its coloured abit and has glitter in it?

i really love the lancome mascara in black that has glitter particles (only for special occasions)

 

[fashionjunkiexx]
