Mary Kay haul as well as evaluation of Lash intensity Mascara as well as Lash primer

I have a good friend who offers Mary Kay as well as understands about my makeup addiction – she reads this blog! Så när Mary Kay lanserade en ny, mycket-raved om mascara, informerade hon mig om att jag måste prova det. Naturligtvis var jag tvungen att placera en order. however wouldn’t you understand it, the mascara is such a hit that they were back ordered. After about a 2 week delay, I lastly got the mascara, together with a few other goodies:

• Lash Primer
• Lash intensity Mascara
• Mineral Eye Colour in Rosegold
• increased Gold restricted edition compact
• Undereye Corrector

She provided me the eye shadow as well as lash primer for free. I’ve decided that I’m not counting mascaras toward my Low-Buy since I replace them so frequently. as well as um, that under eye corrector, let’s phone call it part of my birthday haul, ok?  The Undereye Corrector is a new product too, as well as I’ll be devoting an entry to evaluation that.

So, the mascara that prompted me to location this order – exactly how did it perform?

This is what Mary Kay states about the mascara:

Get wow-worthy volume plus irresistible length with Lash Intensity™ Mascara. featuring a specially designed, asymmetrical Double-Impact™ brush, lashes look multiplied as well as exaggerated with all-day wear that resists smudging. Plus, mineral-rich, high-impact pigment delivers the perfect shade of black for stand-out lashes.

So to summarize, it declares to:
• provide both volume as well as length
• all the time wear
• withstand smudging
• Deep black colour

I discover that I can quickly gauge exactly how a mascara is going to perform after the very first wear. as well as that very first perception wasn’t stellar.  The bristles are made from silicone as well as point every which method – this does assist to coat the lashes quite well, however it likewise has a tendency to gets onto my lids. The wide spacing between the bristles likewise meant that the mascara would deposit in gobs onto my lashes. I discover the formula to be rather clumpy as well as didn’t provide as well much length.  It did hold my curl decently, however the smudging I experienced on my lower eye area was horrific!  The only method I can wear this mascara is with a hefty finish of Clarins double repair mascara top coat, or else it is smudge city by noon. Also, a great metal eyelash comb is imperative to combing out the clumps.

A better look at the wand – is this providing you the heebie jeebies?
I was informed that there’s a special method in utilizing this mascara. get out of town! A special method to apply mascara? I always discovered it funny when business try to elegant up something that just doesn’t requirement to be. So obviously one has to put their thumb over the “Mary Kay” embossing on the wand handle to make this work. *insert hardcore eyeroll*  And there are 2 “zones” of bristles. I tried it as well as it still didn’t make a difference in exactly how clumpy it was, as well as exactly how much it smudged under my eyes. Gissa!

This chick is demonstrating the method however she’s not selling me on it. look at exactly how clumpy her lashes look as well as she gets the mascara onto her lids too.  Now inspect out this official video that MK released. looks different, huh?

Next up, the whacky bulky tube design. I couldn’t even in shape this in with my usual holder for mascaras / eye liners – the tube is so wide as well as squat, making it difficult to dig out. I just lay it on its side on a flat surface. One blessing though: it doesn’t roll off a table. And the wand clicks when shut.  This mascara retails for C$22 as well as contains 8g of product.

Edited to add: here’s exactly how the Lash intensity mascara stacks up against my favourite mascaras:

Fördelar:
• Volumizing
• Holds curl
• Dark black colour
• Doesn’t flake

Nackdelar:
• smudges badly
• Klumpig
• Not extremely lengthening
• Bulky wand design
• Pricey

Stash worthiness: 5/10

And here’s a quick as well as filthy evaluation of the Mary Kay Lash Primer, since I tried it with the mascara:

It actually uncurled my carefully curled lashes right before my eyes like this:

Källa.
I utilized it when as well as I’ll never utilize it again. Such a disappointment! Granted, my good friend states she didn’t experience this however she likely has naturally curly lashes. I did truly like the wand though – it’s a blend of natural bristles (black) as well as a luxurious velvety material (white) that truly coats each lash.

So I may try to re-purpose it such as this tip that Laura of Looking Joli great shared recently. This primer gets a 1/10 from me. as well as that 1 point is for the possibility of reusing the brush.

So both the mascara as well as the primer were busts for me. I truly should stay with my rule of not paying more than $10 for mascaras. I just don’t discover the connection between cost as well as performance when it comes to mascaras –Vilka är dina tankar om att betala mer för Mascaras?

PS. Du kanske tror att jag inte gillar Mary Kay-produkter baserat på det här publiceringen – inte sant! Dessa 2 produkter fungerade inte för mig, men jag har proklamerat mig för deras fuktkräm, blottpapper, liksom concealer. Och … vänta bara på min utvärdering på underreye-korrektret.
