Revlon Colorstay Overtime Mascara

Again...my mascara hunt continues...

 

I think I am getting closer to what I want in the drugstore realm though. Check it out!

 

 

Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lengthening Mascara in Blackest Black. For about $8, this mascara claims to last 24 hours, and be tear, sweat, and humidity proof. It needs dual phased makeup remover at the end of the day.

 



 

 

This is for someone who wants length and a tiny bit of volume. What I like about this mascara is that the formula is dry, drier than most I have tried so it is easy to layer and you get no smudges with very little wait time. The con to that is it makes your lashes look a little unhealthy. I like the very long packaging and the thin brush, you can really get the small little lashes.

 

 

Here it is with two coats on my eye. I like the color and the lengthening. This is a good everyday mascara without a lot of drama. It looks natural and is easy to apply. I did not test it for 24 hours because I do not sleep in my mascara, but I have been having terrible allergies and it did not run or smear, so it is tear proof. Good staying power.

 

 

The formula is very different and that makes it easy for me to do my mascara and eyeshadow without waiting around forever. I do wish it did more for my lashes though.

 

Price: 8/10

Performance: 9/10

Color/Wearability: 9/10

Packaging: 10/10

Overall Quality: 8/10

Total: 44/50 = B+ = Pleased Panda

 

Have you tried this? Any drugstore mascara faves?

L'ORÉAL Power Volume 24 Hour Mascara

So, I've been recently on the hunt for a new mascara (aren't we all always?) I love my current mascara (Mally) but I've had it for three months and it is time to throw it away.

I found a quick replacement at Ulta-- LORÉAL Power Volume 24 hour mascara in Blackest Black caught by eye for $8.99.

 

I love the tube! Sleek and opens with the slightest of satisfying clicks! This mascara says it has collagen spheres to help plump lashes. It is supposed to give 15x more impact, last for a full day, and not flake, smudge or smear. So how does it do?

 

 

The brush is pretty big, but not overly ridiculous. I do like that is more 'fuzzy' than say those plastic Covergirl ones. It has a slight curve and a pointy tip for smaller lashes.

 

 

I always go for Blackest Black mascara, but the swatch was a little dingy dark grey for me.

 

 

These are my completely naked eyes so you can see what the mascara does.

 

 

Not bad eh? Decent separation and volume and a much blacker color than the swatch. I am not sure about the whole collagen thing, but the formula was comfortable, did not flake or smudge--so they nailed that claim. As far as 24 hour wear? My eyes can't stand to wear makeup that long, so that will have to be judged by someone else.

 

Final Thoughts: Great mascara, but not my Holy Grail. You be the judge, does it look like it does what you need in a mascara? I am happy with it, but I still believe 24 hour claims are dumb.

 

Price: 8/10

Staying Power: 9/10

Packaging: 10/10

Color/Wearability: 10/10

Quality/Branding: 9/10

 

Total: 46/50 = A- = Happy Panda
