Review: Revlon Custom Eyes Mascara

Product Info from Revlon:

New Revlon CustomEyes™ Mascara is the first Revlon mascara that offers two gorgeous lash looks with one genius brush. The innovative brush has adjustable bristles to amp up length & drama or for all-out length & definition.

RETAIL PRICE: Php 750 (waterproof) & Php 725 (non-waterproof)

WEIGHT: 5.6 ml

SHADES : Available in 3 shades.
* Blackened Brown
* Blackest Black
* Black

PROS:

* waterproof - does not smudge during the day
* doesn't clump or flake (when applied in THIN coats)
* the soft bristles makes application a breeze
* really volumizes and lenghtens my short lashes (see pics below)
* easy to remove with eye makeup remover

CONS:
* I find it a bit pricey. I usually spend less than Php 500 bucks for a tube of mascara coz it usually lasts for about 3-4 months.
* Sorry I didn't notice a difference between the 2 settings but I don't mind as long as it does the job of defining my lashes.


TIPS:

Did you know that using a waterproof mascara everyday may be harmful to your lashes? So make sure to remove it completely before going to bed.

A good tip I read from Makeupalley to make your non-waterproof mascara smude-proof, is to apply a thin layer of clear mascara over your non-waterproof mascara. Tried it and it worked!


ADDICTION FACTOR:
Been using it almost everyday since I first got it and the good thing is that I didn't notice my lashes falling off unlike other mascaras I've tried.

RATING : 3/5

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Blackest Black (washable)

PRODUCT INFO:

This mascara conditions as it thickens. The lash-doubling formula glides smooth to build great looking lashes. The lash building brush makes it easy to get a full lash look without clumps or globs. Available in 2 variants, Washable and Waterproof.

PRICE: Php 200

WEIGHT : 0.43 fl oz or 12.7 ml

COLORS:
Blackest Black
Soft Black
Very Black
Brownish Black
Dark Brown
Royal Blue
Clear

WHAT I LIKE:
* the brush is small so it reaches my tiniest lashes
* it lengthens (its a volumizing mascara btw)
* can be removed easily
* does not sting the eyes
* holds a lot of product (a regular tube contains only 7ml)
* doesn't smudge during the day

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* its clumpy
* made my lashes stick together
* not volumizing!


TIPS:
This is a volumizing type of mascara. If you want longer lashes, apply a volumizing mascara first, let it dry and apply a lengthening mascara for a falsies effect..

ADDICTION FACTOR:
I'm quite disappointed with this product! I expected a lot from this so called Award-winning mascara.. I love Maybelline's Volume Express more. I only use this as second coat to my other mascara's if I want to lengthen my lashes.

RATING :
2.5 out of 5

More mascara reviews coming soon..

Pasalubong gifts..

My friend who just came home from Japan gave me these as pasalubong! Thanks Che! =)

KANEBO LAVSHUCA LIPGLOSS IN RS-01
(red shimmer)

RS-01 is a shimmery berry red color.

What I like:
* its shimmery like MAC's Lustreglass
* staying power up to 4 hours
* no smell or weird after taste
* pigmentation & color pay-off (sheer but buildable)
* kinda sticky - comparable to MAC Lustreglass
* tube packaging - hygenic compared to the wand types

What I don't like:
* nothing! =)

I hope its available locally.. I really like this gloss! =)

SHISEIDO MAJORLICA MAJORCA LASH EXTENSION MASCARA

This mascara promises to extend lashes up to 120x! hehe
That's the only info I have, can't understand their website coz its in Japanese! =P Lol!

What I like:
* comb type wand separates lashes to avoid clumping
* really lengthens my lashes
* waterproof

What I don't like:
* hard to remove
* not volumizing
* has a weird smell on the tube
* expensive for a mascara (costs approx. php 1,000)

I'll continue to use this though on special occasions that calls for a waterproof mascara. I prefer to use Maybelline since its much cheaper.

I also noticed, using Waterproof mascara everyday damages the lashes.

I'm the type of person that doesn't spend more that Php 600 on a mascara! Lol! Coz it only lasts 3-6 mos! =)
