Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Review!

In my August Ipsy bag I received a sample of the new Urban Decay Perversion mascara. I have heard a lot of good things about this mascara. I'm super excited to share my thoughts and opinions on it! All the before and after photos will be at the end of the post! :)

(This photo is from the Ipsy website.)


First Impression: I was so excited when I plucked this mascara from my Ipsy bag. The little sample package it came in had the words "Bigger. Blacker. Badder." on the front; that instantly caught my attention! Who doesn't want their lashes to bigger, blacker, or badder?! Those are the qualities I, personally, look for in a mascara.

Application: When I first opened this up, the first thing I noticed that the formula was super wet. When I started to apply it to my lashes It easily coated every lash because it was so wet. It can be somewhat clumpy when you first brush it on but after a few strokes you can easily smooth it out. When you smooth the clumpy spots out it evenly distributes it all over your lashes creating a very volumized look. It also adds a good bit of length. One thing I really like about this mascara is that the wand easily grabs the lashes on the outer corner of your eyes, giving you that winged out effect.

Wear: This mascara does smudge throughout the day. The shape and curl of the lashes hold up nicely, though. 
Overall: The results my lashes get from this mascara is BEAUTIFUL! I love the outcome. The only issue I have with this mascara is that it smudges a lot. I hope UD comes out with a waterproof version. I wouldn't advise wearing this on a day when you will be sweating or getting oily because it will smudge. I love the results so much, though, that I would be willing to do a few touch ups throughout the day. If your just going to school, work, or a calm night out, this mascara will get the job done while giving you beautiful glamorous lashes. I am planning on purchasing a full size tube. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants very full dramatic lashes.

*UPDATE!- Sadly, I had to stop using this mascara because it started to irritate my eyes :( I have VERY sensitive eyes, so this is common for me. I gave the sample to my sister and she loves it! It doesn't irritate her eyes at all.

Review: Covergirl Lashblast 24hr Mascara


Silly me! I forgot to take photos of the actual bottle. I got this image from target since that's where I purchased it. You can get here. 

I recently purchased this mascara at target and I have been using it regularly for about 2 weeks now. I have a few thoughts on it, so I will separate it into the pros and cons about the product. Photos will be after the pros and cons.
Pros:
The formula is amazing in my opinion! Although, there is one minor con I will cover in the section below, it has minimal smudging and it stays on for a very long time. I'm not sure if it lives up to the claim of staying on for 24 hours, but it stays on as long as i need it to. When I remove it, I don't have to struggle, tug, and pull at my lashes like I do with waterproof mascaras. When I was shopping for mascara, I was looking for something with longevity like a waterproof formula, but with a hassle free removal process. This mascara suits my needs perfectly in the "formula" category. Its also very budget friendly since its about $7 and you can usually find Covergirl coupons in the Sunday paper.

Cons:
The minor con about the formula is that it is a bit dry. Its hard to get it on your lashes because the formula isn't very wet. I have to work with it a bit before I get the desired amount of product on my lashes. I would not recommend this if your in a hurry. If you want a dramatic look with some volume I would not recommend this product. I feel it works pretty well for length. If you really work at it for a few minutes you can get some volume, but nothing major. This is perfect for a more natural but, long lash look.

Photos ( not using an eyelash curler):
excuse my unruly eyebrows lol

Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara

I bought this mascara at Walgreens! The first thing that I would like to point out about this mascara is that it is only $2.99! I love this mascara. This is probably my favorite mascara at the moment! My Maybelline full n soft has been my HG mascara for quite awhile! BUT...... I believe that the Jordana mascara is my new HG! It literally makes me look like I am wearing false lashes.
 Pros:

  • Makes my lashes look extremely long!
  • Makes my lashes look extremely thick and voluminous!
  • My lashes don't feel crusty or hard after the mascara dries!
  • It doesn't flake or smudge! (I'm super happy about that because mascaras always smudge on me!)
  • Its very affordable!
Cons:

  • There isn't a waterproof version! :(
I'm so sad that there's not a waterproof version! Summers coming up and i would really love for there to be a waterproof version so my lashes could look this amazing during all my summertime activities :(

In the next few photos i've included a picture of the tube, wand, and my comparison of my eye on the left with two coats of the Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara, and my right eye with no mascara.
 Here is my eyelashes when i look upward. I have the mascara on both eyes now :)

I love how this mascara looks! let me know what you think! :))

Covergirl Clump Crusher Waterproof Mascara


I just got this on a whim because I had a $3.00 off coupon... basically 50%. off lol so I got it to try out. I typically don't like Covergirl very much. Their products don't really work for me most of the time. BUT..... I love this mascara! it makes my lashes look so pretty, voluminous, super long and also clump free.... like the name of the product says lol. I also feel like it gives your lashes a bit of curl because of the way the wand is shaped (Its arc shaped). It was totally worth the $3 i payed. I will definitely buy it again when I run out if I have some extra cash on me lol :) its my new favorite mascara! I love it! I accidentally bought the waterproof version because I wasn't paying attention. I don't usually buy waterproof mascaras because they usually irritate my eyes. This one actually feels very gentle and doesn't irritate my eyes at all. YAY! A while back I tried The Rocket by Maybelline mascara. I didn't get the waterproof one, I just got the regular one. I could not get that mascara off my lashes! It ripped out so many of my lashes. It made them look beautiful, but when I went to take it off, it was painful. The waterproof Clump Crusher is so much more gentle compared to the non-waterproof Rocket.  Here are some photos of my lashes using the Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara in very black :)
