Last week I showed you my massive blusher collection (which you can see here) so today I'm showing you my mascaras! Now, a word of advice - don't freak out! I know I have a lot of mascaras, which could be construed as a bad thing - but rest assured I'm well aware of the 6 month expiry tag usually associated with mascara!

The second picture is of mascaras I only use every now and then (maybe once or twice a month) so I don't feel they're subject to the same six month expiry date. (Yes, I'm aware it could cause problems, etc etc.) I always clean my mascara wands with a tissue after and before, and never, ever use mascara when I'm sick. So personally I don't feel I'm at a huge risk. Nobody else uses my mascara, and if I notice it getting a bit funky, I will throw it away!

If you'd like to read any more in-depth reviews on any of the above (particularly the opened ones, please!) then just let me know, and I'll see what I can do. As usual, the ones I have reviewed previous have been linked above!
Have you tried any of these mascaras? If so, what did you think?

Part One - Primers, BB Creams & Illuminators
Part Two - Foundations
Part Three - Blushers & Bronzers
Part Four - Mascaras

LOL oh my! In contrast, I try to keep my mascaras down to a minimum and generally only ever rotate between 2 at once - one for everyday and one for a more dramatic look. I like to finish a tube before opening a new one haha very OCD about it :P
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get down to only a few haha, I just keep getting them! I can't even remember the last time I actually paid for mascara haha!
DeleteOh my lord Jasmine! I thought I was absolutely shocking when at one stage I had about 8 open, but this is ridiculous!!! :)

Haha I know I'm terrible!

Wow nice mascara collection! I usually like to have 3-4 mascaras on the go, at the moment I have probably 3 backups and I thought that was plenty :P I don't clean out my mascaras every 6 months either, it's usually 9 haha or until they're used up.
ReplyDeleteBeauty For Thought
Haha thanks! I have wayy to many though! Yeah six months seems a bit quick for me!
Deletexx
Woooww you have so many! "Lashgasm" nice name for a mascara lol ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't use mascara much so I own about 6 and use 2 xD
Haha it's a funny name :P
DeleteAnd that's fair enough! I use mascara like crazy, esp if I'm not wearing other make-up.. but I have tiny eyes so it makes them a bit better!
xx
I love the Extra Super Lash from Rimmel, is my favourite mascara. =D I also have the Essence Get Big Lashes but the version volume boost and I like it, although I would also like to try the volume curl. =)
ReplyDeleteI have never had a bad Rimmel mascara, I think they do a good job with them! And I'll have to try the Volume Boost one now! Thanks :)

Oh my goodness, I have serious mascara envy! My favourite is YSL Shocking and L'Oreal's 4D mascara. They are both fantastic X
ReplyDeleteOhh I need to try the YSL! :P
Deletexx
don't worry, I don't stick to the 3/6month rule either...I'm thinking of using disposable wands, so I don't risk any infection.
ReplyDeleteMy 'rule' is if it smells okay and isn't clumpy/dry, then it's still okay to use lol
Ohh that's a good idea, I never thought of using the disposable wands! I agree though haha, and as long as I didn't use it when I was sick or anything!
Deletexx
Got enough there hun? LOL
ReplyDeleteHahaha I know I'm bad!
DeleteMascara is one thing I am conscious about in terms of sticking to the 6 month expiry date rule, though I've absolutely been guilty of keeping some for much longer than that :p I love Benefit They're Real and I used L'Oreal Lash Architect 4D before and quite liked it! Currently I have 2-3 mascaras open (CoverGirl Lash Blast, Max Factor Masterpiece Max and Revlon CustomEyes).
ReplyDeleteI really want to try them but I can't open them until I throw out at least a few of the others haha!

Wow you have a lot of mascara! ha. I can't get enough of They're Real but I wasn't too much of a fan of Avon Extend Extreme, it just seemed to make my lashed a bit... short surprisingly. xxx

Oh that's a shame it didn't work for you! I have yet to try it! xx
Deletewoooow you have so many mascaras! I try and keep it down to only a couple as they expire and Im always scared of wasting them. xox

I really want to do the same, I just get too excited when I get new products haha!

It's amazing how easy it is to accrue a whole heap of mascaras, isn't it?! I try to limit it to 2 or 3 open at one go...but I do have quite a stockpile building up!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh yes, it's terrible! Most of them are unused, and I really want to use them haha!
Deletexx
i have only three mascaras .. so gealous!

Haha I wish I only had three! xx
DeleteWow, this is amazing. I currently have two Face of Australia mascaras on the go.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently on the lookout for a really good volumising cruelty-free mascara. So out of the Innoxa, Australis and ELF which do you think makes your lashes look the biggest?
I replied to you on Twitter a little while ago! But the Australis one is definitely my favourite - the ELF was shockingly bad :(
DeleteHaven't tried the Innoxa as yet! Good luck in finding a good cruelty-free mascara! Have you tried out Physicians Formula? Pretty sure they're cruelty-free, and I've heard good things!
xx
Oh gosh, sooo many mascaras! I usually have 2-4 open and have one or two older ones for quick and thick applications! Will you be getting rid of a bunch of them together because so many are open? Do keep the brushes though! I love keeping the old brushes!
