Today I decided to conduct a 2-in-1 review. The most basic of all make-up is probably black eye-liner and black mascara, a lot of women consider these two to be the bare essentials; this means they are the most use products so it’s important for the products you choose to use to be of a high quality.
1. Mascara
The usual things we look for in mascara are
- lash length enhancement
- lash volume increase
- colour pay-off
- product doesn’t run
- product doesn’t clump
Product – PUPA VAMP Mascara
Even if you haven’t use his mascara, you’ve probably heard of it; it’s very, very popular.
Review
Three coats were applied to back and front of upper lashes and one coat was applied to bottom lashes.
- lash length enhancement – There was a visible increase in length of lashes; lashes looked significantly longer, separated and defined – 9/10
- lash volume increase – There wasn’t a huge volume increase although individual lashes looked thicker there isn’t a volume increase per se – 6/10
- colour pay-off – Colour is a very nice shade of intense black. – 10/10
- product doesn’t run – After 4 hours there has been no running of product. – 10/10
- product doesn’t clump – Whilst applying the product there was some initial clumping but this was easily corrected using the brush – 7/10
Overall Score – 8.4/10 – Definitely a Winning Score. I’m pleased with this mascara and will probably repurchase once it is used up.
1. Eye Pencil
The usual things we look for in an eye pencil are
- ease of application
- colour pay-off
- product doesn’t run
- smooth texture
- ability to draw both thick and thin lines
Product : PUPA MADE TO LAST EYES – Automatic Eye Pencil
Review
One coat was applied.
- ease of application – Relatively easy to apply, product glides on smoothly and since it has an automatic sharpening mechanism, there’s no need to worry about sharpening it – 9/10
- colour pay-off – Colour is a nice shade of intense black. – 10/10
- product doesn’t run – After 4 hours there has been no running of product and product is waterproof – 10/10
- smooth texture – Product glides on smoothly and therefore the resulting finish is very smooth and no bumps in sight – 10/10
- ability to draw both thick and thin lines – I initially tried drawing a thin line but I fond this a bit difficult, mid-to thick lines will generally be achieved whilst using this product – 6/10
Overall Score – 9/10 – Another Winning Score. I’m ultra pleased with this eye pencil and it has made it into my everyday makeup bag.
