Hello
there lovely readers!
Lately
I've been having a play around with the mascaras I have in my
possession & not succumbed to any of the new temptations on the
market *pats self on the back* Though I do have one little bad boy on
my wishlist & that's the Maxfactor 2000 calorie mascara which
I've heard nothing but rave reviews! So I may have to go through a
wee relapse so I can see its wonders for myself...for blogging
purposes of course.
One
mascara in particular that I've stumbled across in my stash &
have slowly fallen for big time is this offering from Loreal Paris,
the Superstar Mascara. With a name like that I was certainly hoping
for super results & I was not disappointed!
The
Superstar Mascara is a double ended, 2 step type job here. Normally
something like this would put me off as I would presume that it would
just lengthen the whole process but this wasn't the case at all.
On
one end you have what is described as a super sizing white primer
which you apply first as your step 1 to promised super size lashes.
The wand for the primer is a corset shaped brush which I love as it
really captures & coats each lash very well.
The
other end of the mascara contains of course the black shade as no one
wants to be rocking white eyelashes! Well I don't know...maybe some
would, but not on this occasion. The top coat is a black fibre
enriched formula that coats the lashes, adding volume, length &
an intense black finish. The wand for this end is a curved shape
which is perfect for scooping up under the lashes & really
lifting them up.
So
of course the truth is in the testing eh? Here is a before shot of my
bare nekkid lashes which I always curl a wee bit before mascara
application...
I
then applied one coat of the primer. As mentioned the wand works well
in capturing each lash & I really noticed a visible lengthening
after applying the primer.
Next
for step 2, the topcoat. I start with applying the mascara on the top
of the lashes combing downwards, before going underneath &
lifting up to really get the full benefit of the mascara. The topcoat
applied really well, going over all of the now white lashes until
each lash was coated evenly. Not forgetting those bottom lashes too!
Et
voila, the finished look. Overall verdict, I LOVE the effect the
Superstar mascara gives, a glamourous, pigmented & all round
beautiful finish, no gloopiness, or spidery lashes in sight. The
Loreal Paris Superstar mascara retails for £10.99 & can be found
on most Loreal counters & online.
Thanks
as always for reading lovelies!
Lotsa love to ya!
