Fairydrops - Scandal Queen Mascara

Fairy Drops Scandal Queen Mascara

$24.oo us Available only at Sephora

 

Fairydrops Scandal Queen is available exclusively at Sephora in the United States and comes in black only. (But is available in different formulaes and colors in Japan)  It was originally created by a Japanese TV personality Aya Yasuda. It is a volumizing, water and sweat-resistant mascara with a unique patented in Japan applicator wand. The formula is infused with fibers to help lengthen and thicken that looks kind of like all of your little eyelashes are falling off and accumulating in the mascara tube. Not the case! ha ha,  The applicator is the most unique part about this product. The wand looks like like three fuzzy black pearls strung together and then curved in to hug your lashes. The brush is densely packed with bristles so coverage is super easy to get and with the unique shape of the drops, the round tip makes it easy to apply to your lower lashes. The outside packaging is super cute! Very Vegas style, bright, flashy, and fun! The tube and wand are very sturdy too.

I was a little skeptical about the formula and the density of the bristles. I haven't had much luck with denser wands but the spacing and shape of the wand really helps out. It is a little clumpy on the wand at first when removing it from the tube, just stick it back into the tube and remove the wand while rubbing the application side of the wand against the lip of the tube. Once you have a clean side to apply with, it goes on great! Every now and then because of the fibers in the formula you'll get clumps on your lashes. The formula takes a little longer than a couple swipes to dry so you have time to use an eyelash comb and remove any clumps (if any) carefully without removing the length the fibers have given.

(I like using Sephora's eyelash/ brow comb)

Fairydrops holds curl very well! It has about an 7 hour hold and for me that is HUGE! My lashes have NO natural curl... ha ha. If you find them starting to fall at anytime just a little touch-up with the old eyelash curler and they are brought back to life! The formula dries fully and non-tacky so whipping out the curler at any time works well and without the need of the eyelash comb after, for separation. It can get a little flaky after this but not every time. In terms of water and sweat resistant, I feel it does okay in that area, it doesn't smudge and is fairly easy to get off with makeup wipes or any facial cleanser, but I wouldn't say it is the best choice for summer time at the beach...ha ha if you wear mascara to the beach that is!

This mascara is a bit pricey but I really think it is a great product. It helps my short uncurled lashes come to life! It lengthens, curls and brightens the windows to my soul!

First Two pictures are without mascara or curling.
 Warning...please ignore the brows and lack of makeup in some pictures... ha ha 

The last four pictures have two light coats of Fairydrops and have been curled.

A special thanks to Noel for suggesting this product. If you have a product you would like me to review let me know.

Have bright eyed beautiful day!

Maybelling The Falsies Volum' Express

Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express

Waterproof, Very Black

$7.49 us .25 fl. Oz / 7.5 ml

Made in the USA

This mascara comes in a vibrant violet tube container with light blue metallic writing. Makes me think of an awesome eyeshadow color combo coming! The tube is a little on the lighter side but doesn’t feel cheap. The tube can be stored standing up or lying down. There is nothing really special about the packaging it does what it is meant to do… Dispense mascara, ha ha ha… The applicator wand is kind of unique. The bristles are in a half dome shape with 1/3 of the wand flat. The wand curves the length of the bristles to help add curl to your lashes. The wand it self has a flex point joint about an inch from the bristles allowing it to flex while applying the product. I usually don’t like the wand to bend so I can wiggle in between the eyelashes to get a good coat over every lash. I think the flex point joint is put there so that the proper pressure is applied to the lashes as to deposit the right amount of product. The opening in the tube I find is a little wider then I would like. The wand slips out with a considerable amount of product on it, which can make the application a little thicker then some might want.

Falsies formula goes on kind of thick, and can clump if you are not careful when applying the coats. The formula isn’t too think so that it feels like you have drapes hanging from your lashes. I have found that it is still a little sticky after it dries, so you may not be able to smudgeit while crying but the lashes can clump together. They do not dry too stiff but will stay curled all day! If you are used to wearing mascara this will not feel heavy. For people who do not wear mascara normally may feel it is a bit heavy on the lashes. (lighter then real false lashes!) Falsies have great color pigmentation, goes on smoothly, and with practice, evenly!

With a little practice and an eyelash separator Falsies is a great substitute for false lashes for the every day-girl who would like longer thicker lashes. Mabybelline I feel has made a great product that does what it claims for an affordable price. Colors include Blackest Black, Very Black, and Brownish Black.

My overall rating for Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express is

CG LashBlast Fusion

CG Lash Blast Fusion
.44fluid oz liquid
$9.99 @ Walgreens Colors: Brown, Brown Black, Black, Very Black

I have been searching for the best mascara for me for a couple months. I tried CG Lash Blast Volume, Lash Blast Length, Mega Volume Lash Blast, Maybelline Define-A-Lash Lengthening, Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume, Urban decay Volume, Sephora Volume... Whew!

I know I haven't tested even 5% of what is out there but I have to live on a budget and I finally found my match.Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion adds length and volume to my thin short lashes that don't curl even a bit on their own. This Mascara fits into my budget at $9.99. I seem to be getting a good amount of usage from it. I didn't know this a couple months ago but, did you know that you should change your mascara every three months like an oil change on your car? Ha ha Well I didn't and started noticing my mascara getting clumpy on application and just not flowing onto my lashes right. Lash Blast Fusion has been gliding on and clump free for about Three months and I don't see it showing signs of wear yet.The spooley is pretty awesome. It is a rubbery, fat, thinly spaced, spiky wand. Easy to use. I love this product and recommend it highly if you are looking into getting one of those expensive eyelash growth serums. Great cheater for that problem.


No makeup
