Too Faced lashGASM Review

I think that mascara is a beauty product that you either like or dislike with each purchase, well it's like that for me anyway. To me there are no in between mascaras, which can make finding the ones I love a trial and error process. Right now I have quite a few that I have been loving and the one I am going to talk to about today is no exception! It's Too Faced's lashGASM. 

Now this mascara's claim is that it is a conditioning mascara that creates longer thicker lashes with intense color. I would have to agree completely. I have to say first and foremost that I love the formula, it isn't too wet or dry, which allows the flexibility to play around with multiple coats and lash placement to create the perfect lash look. 

The brush applicator is good too, nothing revolutionary, but really works well with its soft plastic bristles to really separate while coating the lashes evenly from base to tip.

I like that it is a true black formula that really creates that bold look I love so much. (In the photo above I am wearing 2 coats) This mascara doesn't flake or smudge, which usually is a deal breaker. No one wants to walk around with mascara flakes on their face. Something else I like about this mascara is that it contains some really great moisturizers such as panthenol, vitamins A & E, and jojoba seed oil.

All in all I am really pleased, it comes in at a higher price point, but I think it is worth the purchase.

Have you tried this mascara? Thoughts? If not, what mascara are you loving right now?

Review: L'oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara

I can't believe it's the middle of the week already! Happy Wednesday everyone, I hope you are having a fantastic week!

Today I want to do a mini review on a product that I can't seem to keep my hands off of. It's one of those products that I had an instant love for. I'm talking about L'oreal's Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara. Yes, L'oreal has gone and done it again! YAY! This mascara is incredible.

I have to say when it comes to mascaras, in my opinion, L'oreal has it figured out. I always find myself comparing their formulas to higher end mascaras and this one is no exception. 

First of all I must comment on the packaging. It actually looks like a higher end mascara,it's sleek and I love the fact that the base is bigger so you can stand it up. First impressions of the brush were mixed feelings, I usually prefer a fuller applicator with softer bristles, but surprisingly enough this brush works great with its formula.

The formula is another major bonus to this mascara, it's not too wet and doesn't dry too fast, so it leaves time to apply it from lash base to tip and you still have time to separate the lashes and de-clump if need be. The black is a true black, which L'oreal has down to a science.

I always skip the waterproof formulas, I find them always to be off just a bit, but that is simply personal preference.

All in all I would definitely recommend this mascara. I will purchase this again. I find this, dare I say it, close to the Benefit They're Real formula. 

Here is a before and after.
