    Default A Mascara Rant.

    A Mascara Rant

    by Paige Delaney D'Winter


    Dear Loreal,

    I was very excited by the photos that you advertise with about the new Carbon Black Voluminous mascara. So pretty! So feathery soft! So thick and full! I raced right out to buy a tube, since I was almost out of my last brand.

    Oh, what a disappointed face had I! I applied your product to my thin lashes and behold! I had Tarantula Lashes. The mascara was so thick, so sludgy. It was like applying black spackle to my lashes. Gloppy and clumpy, my lashes reminded me of those photos you see, the ones of birds being rescued from oil spills.

    I tried not to panic, as I grabbed the brush from my almost gone Max Factor mascara. I was able to groom my lashes out, to separate them and remove half of the glop you have so readily provided. It was a vast improvement!

    Not wanting to waste the cash I had spent on your product, I continue to use it. If I scrape the brush down every time I pull it from the tube, then use an old brush from a dried out mascara to comb through my lashes, your product is somewhat acceptable.

    Perhaps it is a bad batch. Perhaps you simply loathe my existence. Perhaps your company is run by spiteful, evil robots from Saturn. We shall never know. I do know, however, that I dislike this mascara line. It should be stabbed, burned, dunked in acid, THEN buried in cement.


    Sincerely yours,

    Paige

    LOL! Thanks for the heads up.

    Which MF mascara are you using Paige? Right now I'm using the "2,000 Calories" one.

    I hate l'Oreal. Even if they werent the worst offenders when it comes to animal torture(aka cosmetic animal testing) I still wouldnt use their make up. Everything I've ever used(before I went cruelty free) was just like that...gloppy and thick and nasty. Their foundation felt like I was spackling my face...the mascara was WAY too thick with a crappy brush..lipstick again..WAY too thick. Blech

    I'm in LOVE however with Physicians formula Lash in a Tube. Looks So good and you can use it to the last drop since you can squeeze the tube, so it lasts forever. AND cruelty-free..woo hoo!

    I normally layer my mascara, with 2 brands. I'll mix Maybelline's Great Lash or their XXL Volume with Max Factor's 2000 Calorie. Looks like I'm gonna suffer through using the dried up brushes to fix the Loreal till it's done then go back to the other three. Drat, darn, and dagnabbit.

    I use that CG fantastic lash and I love it.. although I've had it for a while, so it's getting goopy.. But I ALWAYS use an old mascara wand to comb through, it just makes my tiny stupid asian eyelashes look longer.
    Did you send that? You totally should!!

    I love this mascara. I think it's actually for people who aren't going for a natural look.

    ^^^ Perhaps then they should show that look in their adds. What you see in this is NOT what you get:





    That's from their add with Milla. That was what I was hoping for, or at least something a TINY bit similar. But no, I get something more like:








    And that would be AFTER using a dried brush to try to pry the lashes apart. Ugh.

    I would be willing to bet the model has on fake lashes in that picture or they've been photoshop'd. You can't really go by the ads.

    LMAO! Extra points for the twinkle in your eye, Paige! haha YOu know you love it!

    I've noticed that mascara ads that claim to give you CRAZY volume are um... very thick and clumpy. I like the ones that claim to define (like maybellenes featherlash). That way, if I want a less natural look, I can just add more coats.

    Yep totally fake lashes! I have thick long full ones and seriously mine dont even look like that unless I use fakes. it gives it that ..fluff look.

    I use Loreal but " illegal lengths' same shit i've used since I was 12 lol. I've yet to find another mascara that works for me.

    I tried that XXL stuff I had no luck. What was the dior mascara that was amazing?

    I love the twinkle too!! Great pic!!

    If you want them to look like the lashes in that ad, you need to use fake lashes unless you've been seriously blessed with the best eyelashes on the planet. To make them less "spidey", a friend of mine would use a safety pin to perfectly separate them. Just be careful!! A girl bumped into her in the dressing room and she nearly poked her eye!! I thought she was gonna kick her ass. I use pointy tweezers sometimes.

    I use the L'oreal Carbon Black Voluminous masacare. I dont end up with spider lashes, but I dont get those nice feathery lashes either. It works for me-I do get fuller, longer and thicker lashes. I DID NOT know that l'oreal tests on animals though. Now I have to find a new brand...

    The one brand my sister bought be that I dont like cause if Im not careful I do get spider lashes is Victoria's Secret mascara.
