Alterra - Naturkosmetik - Max Lash Booster Mascara - 01 Black



This is a black mascara that is paraben free (something I have been looking for of late).
It is also vegan.

I picked this one from the range because of the beautiful big brush that my lashes love.


I only did the top lashes.

The  formula isn't too thick, giving a very natural colour to the lashes.
It won't clump your lashes together, which is ideal.

Price: 5/5 ($5.49 for 9mL)
Scent: 3/5 (faint and very pleasant for a mascara)
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Avon - Supershock Brights Mascara - Emerald



This is a dark green mascara that has an amazing brush!

It isn't that obvious.

However, despite being a great shade, the colour payoff is really poor.

Price: **limited edition, no longer sold**
Scent: 1/5 (normal mascara smell meets house paint)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Rimmel - Wonder'full - Wake Me Up - Mascara


This is a fun idea, in which the mascara has cucumber volatiles in it (to freshen the eyes).

Do I think said volatiles will make you more awake? Not on a chemical level, but as an unusual stimuli, yeah.

Super sexy end of day makeup!
These are my natural eyelashes with mascara on them.

The brush is great, nice and long.
The formula is smooth and doesn't clump or flake off.

This is a fun twist on a makeup standard, try it!

Price: 2.5/5 ($18.95 for 11mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rodial - Glamolash - Mascara - XXL - Black


From the May Glossybox!

I LOVE the brush! This longer brush comb really works for me.


It is a little dry formula-wise (had to re-dip the wand a few times), but otherwise gives an acceptable result.

In mine, there are clearly fibres in the formula, but this is not listed as a feature on the website.


However these fibres do not transfer to the lash, so I don't care that much.

However, there are definitely better mascaras for a better price.

Price: 1/5 ($44.86 for 13mL, also all my prices are AUD)
Scent: 1/5 (smells like old house paint)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Revlon - ColorStay Gel Envy - 440 Wild Card


This is a warm mid to dark blue which I think was the show stopper of the original Gel Envy release.

Two coats.

I just love this shade!
And the brush in this bottle is the best! A nice wide brush that coats the nail easily and evenly.

Price: 1/5 ($16.95 for 11.7mL)
New Name: Lapis lazuli
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rimmel - Wonder'full Volume Colourist Mascara - 003 Extreme Black


I love this mascara!
This gradually tints your eyelashes darker with use, so the paler tips are more visible.
Even without make up, your lashes look longer and fuller.

I was worried that it would stain the skin, but I didn't.

The brush is sensible, the bristles allow proper lash separation and prevents clumping.
It doesn't flake off over time, so there is no worry of fall out.

I love this and will (and already have) buy it again! 

Price: 3.5/5 ($18.95 for 11mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (virtually none)
Effectiveness: 5/5
