5. Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara …
a.k.a. “A revolutionary new mascara designed to grip at lashes starting at the roots”
Expert’s Opinion:
“I was extremely skeptical about succumbing to the allures of the ball applicator, but I’m pretty impressed. While I’ve had a lot of luck finding mascaras that give amazing length, none have ever given me much in the way of volume, so to find one that literally does everything (plus has a cool applicator) is pretty amazing!”
- shares Jen, A Beautiful Sentiment Expert
Description:
This revolutionary new mascara is made in such a way that your lashes will be gripped from the roots to the tips. The round sphere may look odd, but it does work ‘phenomenally’ in separating and curling your lashes.
Our Opinion:
Based on the price and the beautifully fanned out panoramic effect – the Givenchy Phenom’ Eyes Mascara is a superbly good buy. I personally think that no other mascara in the market, no matter how odd-shaped the sphere is – can produce the unique and dazzling effect that will just bring out the beauty of your eyes, whatever its shape and size. It’s definitely one of the best among all the mascaras out there!
Usual Complaints:
- takes too much time to apply
- is prone to clumping
- does not work too well on shorter lashes
- expensive price
Best Price: $27.00 at Sephora
4. Lancome Fatale Mascara …
a.k.a. “Mascara that boosts spectacular performance”
Lancome’s Fatale is recognized as the best mascara by professional make-up artists.
Experts’ Opinion:
“…Fatale built up my lashes like nothing I’d ever used before. They were thick, lush, and very, very black, without that Tammy Faye look. Fatale has lasted through entire humid days… I am in love!”
- says the celebrity blogger Beauty Addict
“…if it’s length you’re after, it’s all about Fatale… Girls, this mascara is so potent, so dramatically lengthening, that your lashes will seem to touch your brows…”
- says the celebrity blogger Tia Williams from Shake Your Beauty
Description:
Patented 3D Comb gives exceptional filling power. From the first application Super coating formula with Filtex delivers a fine, strong mesh on lash to plump it up. The Plump Wax Complex leaves lashes perfectly coated & maintains fluid texture. A single stroke creates absolute volume to sculpt & plump lashes. Lancome Fatale enhances a glamorous look of your eyes for all day long.
Our Opinion:
What you should know is that it will take you some time to get used to this 3D comb, but after you do – there is nothing like Fatale! :) It’s been called the best mascara for years now. If you never tried it, you definitely should! Every word in the description of this top mascara is true.
Usual Complaints:
- high price
Best Price: $21.00 on Amazon.com
Great mascara reviews. I wonder which is the really best.
T’ve used a Waterproof Lancome for years-it was ok, I wasn’t crazy about it-but it worked better than the others-I am aa bartender (in a high volume nightclub)
the ‘racoon eyes’ weren’t so bad with the Lancome-
NOW I just want a mascara that doesn’t come out all gloppy, goes on nicely AND looks fabulous-(AND wont bother my contacts making my eyes dry and red…that’s ANOTHER ‘look’ and i’d rather NOT)
ANY thoughts???
[...] make your look more dramatic and expressive than beautiful long full eyelashes. But even with the best mascara, only a few of us can achieve that result. Luckily, we always can rely on our little beauty secret [...]
Im using the Waterproof Lancome to and I wont switch.
Need you advice!
So if I’ll buy Chanel Inimitable as present for my sweetheart – she will be happy – right ?
Or maybe it’s better to check something other ?
Idea!
can you show your eyes/face with these mascaras ?
if you use any from this list ?
it must be interesting – don’t you think ?
I agree that the Chanel Inimitable delivered its promise. Having short and sparse lashes, this defintely made a big difference. Well worth the price tag!
Dan!
I think that if you buy Chanel Inimitable to you GF she will be really happy:)
Im using Chanel Inimitable too and it’s sure is great. Im sure your GF will be very happy. =)
Lancome is great too. You can try them out.
I have used Lancome, it was great.. Im planning to try chanel, i heard its great too..
Id love to have these as gifts too.
Oh My Goodness!!! I cannot belive that Lancome DEFINICILS is not on this list. I have been using this mascara for so many years, and have never used anything that came close. When I use this, especially the times that i reapply a few times to get the fullest effect, people have accused me of wearing false lases! ITs that good!! Try it and you will not be disappointed, trust me! : )
Dear Antonia,
You are so right! How could we forget the classic of the classic – the Lancome Definicils Mascara!
Thank you so much for reminding! I’ll make sure we include it in the next update of the post!
[...] me, it’s pretty difficult to find a good mascara because I have these frustratingly short eyelashes. But with the CARGO blu_ray™ Mascara – [...]
what abt L’oreal mascaras aren’t they good,i love them,lol
[...] It could be a symptom of an allergic reaction or kidney infection. If other symptoms are also present, such as fever, skin rash, or difficulty breathing, consult your doctor right away. If an allergy is involved, find out what foods you are allergic to and eliminate them from your menu. The most frequently occurred allergies are to newfangled foods, such as commercial pasteurized milk from hormone-treated cows, processed grains, fruits and veggies with residual pesticides, and other products that people had never eaten until just several generations ago. Allergies can also be caused by commercial beauty products, such as under-eye creams or mascaras. [...]
I´ve tried most of Lancome’s mascaras and like many. Fatale, Hypnose, Définicils and Virtuose are all solid… but Fatale especially. My teeny tiny lashes look fab – get long and thick and it stays put for glistening tears, sweat and moderate rain. Love it.
Diorshow is absolute rubbish – overpriced and delivers nothing but smudges and clumps.
Great lash is ok for those who don’t need much help. I have a lot of low maintenance girlfriends who think it is sufficient enough.
Helena Rubinstein mascaras I used quite a lot in my teens. Spectacular and Generous and later Lash Queen I tried. Liked them at the time but doubt I would now. Lash Queen underdelivers.
Kanebo 38° mascara is a very strange mascara. What is good about it is that it is easy to wash off and yet you can go swimming in it… just not in 38° C hot water. Flaw – it kind of combines lashes so it looks a bit cartoon-ish.
Estee Lauder – unexciting.
Clarins – for a very natural look – a bit boring.
Bourjois – have liked some.
Well ladies – I´ve given you my two cents on mascaras… Hope it will be of use.
yep it sounds really interesting
I really wanna try the CHANEL one ..
I’ve been using Lancome Hypnose and its not that awesome /..
so will Chanel be better?? I have thin lashes and they only look short coz my eyes are deep set.
