My 1st Beauty Product Review..

Hello dear readers..
Gosh, I have been so busy that I had no time to update my blog.. I did this particular blog to give reviews to you about products and maybe a tip or two that I picked up along the way.. I'm not saying that I am a makeup guru or anything, I'm just doing this for fun and I hope that it will be usefull for those who would like to experiment with makeup but do not have the means to take the risk of buying cosmetics and finding out later that it is not suitable or as good as it claimed to be.

I haven't been able to do that yet so far so I'm going to start right now. Hehehe.. So my review for today is Maybelline's Volume Express Cat Eyes mascara. Out of four stars (1-poor, 2-fair, 3-good & 4-excellent) I would give it four stars. Why? The first reason is because this mascara has serious staying power. I have stubborn lashes so when I curl my lashes and apply other mascaras the curl doesn't last long. However with this mascara the curl in my lashes lasts the whole day..

How I found out about this makes a funny story. I had tried this mascara for the first time at night. I was super tired at that time and after trying on the mascara I laid down for a while and ended up sleeping until morning (This is NOT a good example to follow girls.. It was accidental.. Hehehe..). When I woke up and realised what happened I rushed to the mirror expecting my lashes to be hopelessly clumped or smeared from sleep. I was so amazed to find that my lashes held its wonderful separated and curled shape. It didn't clump or smeared one bit. I totally fell in love with it in that moment.

Aside from it's staying power it is also easy to use. The shape of the brush is like a comb and only on one side as opposed to the usual all around brush most mascaras have. This unique brush shape enables users to effortlessly comb the mascara throught their lashes and reach those 'hard -to-reach' places such as the lashes on the inner corners of the eye. Moreover, this mascara is very reasonably priced. It's only RM33.90 and can be bought at Watsons, Guardian, Sasa and generally any drugstore that sells Maybelline Cosmetics.

Another thing is, it is water proof. I used this mascara while watching the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" and cried in one of the scenes. I forgot all about my eye makeup and 'mopped' my eyes with a tissue like there's no tommorow. It was only when the movie was almost over that I cringed because I can only imagine how my eyes looked like from previous experiences. I rushed to the ladies and lo and behold! my eye makeup was neither smeared nor smudged. It was amazing!

Lastly, Maybelline's Volume Express Cat Eyes mascara is easy to clean off if you use a makeup remover. By the way, I know a lot of girls out there are using just facial toner or baby oil to remove their waterproof makeup. What I can say is that toner does not work too well to remove waterproof makeup. Any leftover makeup will result in infection which especially the eyes. Even if you don't get an infection the area around the eyes is very delicate so using toner there will dry out the skin. Its best to invest in a good eye & lip makeup remover.

So there's my review about Maybeline's Volume Express Cat Eyes mascara. I hope this information helps you in deciding whether to give this mascara a try or not.. Cheers!
