Hello
there lovely readers!
I
can't recall if I've mentioned but yours truly recently went through
that most dreaded time which bloggers often endure...a spending ban
O_O Being the beauty addict I am, for which there is no cure alas, I
realised that my makeup stash was getting a tad out of hand, with a
large number of products (many bought just for "blogging
purposes" of course!) sitting tucked away in the drawers unused.
Thus
I decided to enlist some self control & hold off purchasing
anything new (which in the blogging world is HARD I can tell you!) &
focus on products I currently own. The positive from this is not only
has it been extremely satisfying hitting pan & actually finishing
a product, but along the way I've re-discovered old favourites, as
well as fallen in love with a few new products too. Which has made
the whole ordeal worthwhile :)
One
product which falls in to the 'new love' category is this delightful
little mascara offering, Magnetic Lash by Santhilea*, which popped
through my letterbox a while ago & sadly met the fate of being
added to the pile of products left untried *hangs head in shame* But
now all that's changed & I've finally given this intriguing
mascara a whirl with, I'm happy to report, some super satisfying
results!
Santhilea
is not a brand I'm overly familiar with, however this award winning
mascara has been on the receiving end of many positive reviews so I
couldn't wait to see the results for myself.Truth is in the testing
so here's a before pic of my bare lashes for you...
The
Magnetic Lash uses a 3 step lash extension technology using specially
made fibres to help build up & volumise your lashes to give a
full lash look without having to resort to falsies. With ingredients
including hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, it definitely sounds like a
nourishing treat for the lashes. Magnetic Lash comes as two separate
products for each stage, the Magnetic Mascara & the Lash
Builder.
The
first step is to apply one coat of the Magnetic Mascara, ensuring
each lash is covered from base to tip.The wand with this mascara is
pretty straightforward in shape, no crazy designs here but it caught
& lifted the lashes well. I apply my mascara on the top of the
upper lashes brushing down, then underneath & lifting up.
Next
step is to go in with the lash builder, to apply simply dab the
fibers on to the lashes using the wand, ensuring they distribute
evenly, concentrating more on the ends. Fan the eyelashes a tad with
your hands to help dry & secure the fibres to the lashes
Then
to seal in those fibers, go back in with one more coat of the
Magnetic Mascara, using smooth upward combing strokes to prevent
loosening any fibres.
For
a more dramatic look you can repeat steps 2 & 3 however I was
very satisfied with this finished result. I can't stand having a too
heavy feeling on my lashes & Magnetic Lash succeed in giving a va
va voom lash finish without heavy spidery clumpiness, instead leaving
my lashes feeling glam yet incredibly light. Cue obligatory after pic...
I'll
admit, I wouldn't have the time nor patience to go through the
application process of Magnetic Lash everyday, as speed is key for me
in the mornings! However I will happily reach for this mascara for
special occasions, weddings etc as a special treat product.
The
Santhilea Magnetic Lash retails for £24.99 & can be found
online. Have you ever tried this lash fiber technology? Thanks for reading!
Lotsa love to ya!
