Myriad of Mascaras: Borghese Superiore State-of-the-Art Mascara

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Borghese Superiore State-of-the-Art Mascara

After one use of our thickening mascara, you will understand why it is called “Superiore.” Infused with a built-in, silk-powder foundation for superior wear, delicate lashes are coddled in natural conditioners while providing smudge-proof, flake-proof coverage. Suitable for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes.

What does it claim to do? Provide extended wear, lengthen, separate, and curl without clumping, moisturize and condition lashes. How to use? Apply from base of lash to tip. Price: $18.50

Prescriptives – The Seducers / 24-Hour Mascara – Review

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

I had the pleasure of checking out some products from Prescriptive’s Seducers (Fall 2007) collection, as well as their new 24-hour mascara.

PRESCRIPTIVES | THE SEDUCERS FALL 2007

First, a no-mascara vs. mascara comparison, so everyone can see the effects of Prescriptive’s latest mascara formula. Above, those are my pathetic au natural lashes – we can see why mascara is a woman’s staple, can’t we?

Below, you can see my lashes with 2-3 coats of the mascara on (no lash comb – so you can see everything about it). I find it gives me incredible length, but it doesn’t give me the fullness or thickness I usually want (which leads me to go after a fourth coat, uh oh!). The length, though, phenomenal – really false lash-esque. My lashes always seem to clump together, so it’s probably not a result of the mascara, more the result of my poor lash structure!
