I'm a Mascara Girl :)

Hi girls. I love mascaras. Mascara is one of the most common cosmetic items, and many women use it daily. Im totally a mascara person. And that also means that Im quite a lazy person to wear false lashes lol. But every girl needs mascara for daily life.. its just so easy to use. Just open the mascara, apply the wand on your lashes, re-apply it to get a dramatic look and here you are ready with your very own dramatic lashes.

Mostly women love mascara that makes there eyelashes look:

  • Longer
  • Thicker
  • Darker.. 
  • Curlier. This draws more attention towards eyes and when polished with eyeliner, it draws attention towards eyes readily. 

Do you know when first mascara was invented? :)
In 1917, Eugene Rimmel, founder of Maybelline Cosmetics, created the first packaged cosmetic mascara. Produced from a blend of petroleum and black coal dust, the history of mascara began with a cake mascara that although reformulated, is still found today.

I have some amazing mascaras in my makeup stash. I will review

  • Estee Lauder double wear mascara
  • Estee Lauder magnoscopic mascara
  • Estee Lauder sumptuous mascara
  • Maybelline waterproof mascara
  • Givenchy Extensions
  • MAC Haute & Naughty mascara


Everyone loves Maybelline!!! And yes its the most searched and popular mascara on google. Everyone loves Maybelline's vloume express mascara. I usually apply Maybelline over my MAC mascara and it really thickens my lashes. I use it alone when Im just going out for dinner and it never disappoints me. I bought this mascara from Malaysia. The sales girl recommended this mascara for me instead of the yellow volume colossal mascara.


Another product I have is by givenchy.  You must be thinking about the fragrance right? Givenchy also has a range of cosmetics. I have their Givenchy extensions mascara. And the wand is so little and cute.. Its perfect for applying on your lower lashes as well as the inner side of upper eyelashes. It really thickens my lashes. However it dries out quickly. But still it was in the top 10 mascaras in a survey on an international beauty blog
GIVENCHY-Naam hi kaafi hai ;)

My husband recently went to KL, Malaysia. And ofcourse I couldn't resist giving him the shopping list. I asked for some MAC products. I will show you guys in MAC haul. For this post, I will show you the new MAC's haute & naughty lash mascara. OMG!!! I just love this mascara.. It comes in a pretty packaging. I will call the pink lid as the haute lid, and the purple lid as the naughty lid!
Haute is for work, and naughty is for night!!
The mascara does not has two wands. Its just a single wand. The pink wand comes out of the purple wand and doesn't have soo much product on it.. So its much better for your lower lashes. you can also use it as a primer. You put it back in the mascara and than open the purple lid. Its comes out with more product on it and gives your lashes the thickness, the darkness the perfect naughtiness you want for your lashes. The naughty side gobs on the mascara and when I use it with Maybelline's volume express mascara it just looks really really amazing. It retails at a price of 19$ at there website.
I love this mascara!!!

The thin pink wand is enough for your lower lashes and has got enough product on it

Purple wand gobs on the product

Go naughty and be a hottie!
Just stroked the pink wand twice to show how amazing the thin wand alone can do!

Another product is Estee Lauder, its a high-end brand which is mostly famous for its lipsticks. They have got amazing lipcolors. I will review there mascaras. My cousin usually gets there mascara from US.

ESL double wear mascara with lash primer


Left: ESL volume sumptuous mascara
Right: ESL magnascopic mascara

I only heard about the lash primers until I got this lash primer with the mascara. Thats why it is called double wear mascara. I pretty much like it. As for the primer, I dont think it has done any wonders on my lashes. Its just that we can satisfy ourselves by applying a lash primer thinking it will grab on more product from our mascara wand. But anyways, there mascara alone is better to do the job alone!

I have got the sumptuous and the magnascopic mascara. The sumptuous came along in the holiday gift set of ESL my hubby got from dubai. And the magnascopic is again a gift from my lovely cousin :) I find both of them pretty good. And as they are quite old now they have dried up much! But when they were young and fresh I couldnt think of getting any Maybelline :)

If you live in Karachi and you want to buy a good mascara, than Maybellines volume colossal is a good choice. And if someone is travelling abroad you can always ask for MAC haute & naughty lash. And if you want some really high-end product than Dior show mascara and Lancome have some amazing mascaras to offer! For those living abroad there are soon going to be xmas sale offers on all sephoras & drugstores.. *sigh* we dont have any sephora or drug store in Pakistan. but yes we have Naheed which is turning out to be a cosmetic lovers paradise :D
