It's time for a Battle of the Mascaras! Or really a 'who failed worse' battle, because each were fails!
I am only doing 3 so it won't be overwhelming to take in.
**Just a reminder, what works or doesn't work for me, may work for you! This is just what I experienced with these products, it may effect you differently, but wanted to give a heads up.**
First up, the not so bad(only 1 con for this mascara):
CoverGirl Clump Crusher by lashblast
Water resistant - Black
**Quick Decision Facts**
PROS:
- Applies smoothly
- Very build-able to the thickness you want
- Does not smudge (while applying or throughout the day)
- Does not flake
- Is truly waterproof
- Clump free
- Did not burn or irritate my sensitive eyes throughout the day
- When removing, it gets in your eyes. It didn't burn or anything, but I just did not like the feeling that mascara was inside my eyelids. It did not do it while wearing it though, only while removing it.
- Also, the wand is a little funky to work with, but that may be just me.
*Ruling*
CoverGirl.com says this is "A breakthrough in no-clump mascara. Get 200% more volume and zero clumps."Real Chick's Ruling: It is clump free! I wouldn't say it's 200% more volume though. It gave some volume but nothing even slightly dramatic. I feel this is a good mascara, if you can figure out a better way to remove it than I did. It just seemed every way I chose, it ended up in my eye. But if you try, hopefully you will have better removal results.
The second mascara had quite a bit more cons than the first:
Maybelline Volum' Express Colossal Washable Mascara
Glam Black
**Quick Decision Facts**
PROS:
- Applies easily
- What stays on your lashes lasts through the day
- Did not flake
- SMUDGED!:
- while applying--I could not look down without it getting on my under eye/cheek until it dried--
- Throughout the day it would transfer onto my under eye area. It never flaked, but smudged so bad I literally looked like I had been crying for hours and mascara was smeared underneath my eye.
*Ruling*
Maybelline.com says this gives "COLOSSAL LASHES IN JUST ONE COAT! CREATES 9X THE VOLUME, instantly"
Real Chick's Ruling: Negative. It does not give just amazing 'colossal' lashes with just one coat! Heck it doesn't even do it with 5 coats! I did not see extreme volume. Also, like described above, this mascara had some major smudging issues! I would NOT recommend this product to anyone, unless you are looking for that "I've been crying all day, my mascara is smearing under my eyes" look then sweet darlin' go for it.
Report
I know I explained quite a bit above, just wanted to elaborate on some of those facts. I have pretty long lower lashes and love to coat them up, but with only one coat and any movement made the mascara transferred from my lashes to my under eye/top of cheek. I seriously had to apply, wait (while looking up) for it to dry, then put on another coat and repeat the process. It took FOREVER! I've never had to wait for a mascara to dry like that! Then was totally pissed when I spent all that time putting it on, only to find out 30 minutes later it was smudging under the eye!!! The first time I tried it out I happened to be doing some shopping that day and every time I passed a store mirror I checked to see how the mascara was doing...and every time I had to swipe the smudges off! It looked like I had slept in my mascara. Not a fan!
Now to the worse(for me):
Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Fakeout
Black
**Quick Decision Facts**
PROS:
- Easy to apply
- Gives some length
CONS:
- It never dried for me
- The worst thing while wearing this was it came off IN MY EYE!!! Seriously, the white part of my eye was filled with black mascara, it was horrible!
- Not only did it get in my eye but it also got everywhere else: my eyelids, under eye etc.
- While in my eye it became stringy and was so hard to get it all out (it was under the top lid, wayyy in the back)
*Ruling*
Needless to say, my ruling is not good! This is the type of product I want to stand by at a store and warn everyone what it could possibly do to you. It may not happen to you, but honestly I wouldn't even try it out.
I watch You Tuber, Tati - Glam Life Guru, who swears the green one is her holy grail of drugstore mascaras, 100% natural origin jumbo lash, but honestly, having had such a bad experience with this one, I am going to wait awhile before I try another mascara from Physicians Formula!
So there's three out of my collection of failed mascaras! I hope this helped you out with trying to decide which mascara you may like. It is a bit overwhelming with all the choices and if you can eliminate a few it really helps!
I will be adding more FAILS soon along with FAVS! Also, going to start a day-to-day theme, Madness Monday Giveaways, Tips Tuesday, Thrifty Thursday, etc. so be on the look out for that coming up! Please check out my other reviews and come visit Real Chick's Reviews again because
