So why a mascara test? Well, I have started wearing make-up again and wondered if there were other women out there like me. Ones that couldn’t differentiate between a strobe and a highlight without reading the container. I figured there must be so I decided to test out a few things and share my findings, starting with mascara… These are just from my make-up case
I took pictures of the mascara on my eyes, please note I have absolutely nothing else on my face, only the mascara and a bunch of freckles, lol.
Avon Color Trend Comb IT
Price: Around R70
Availability: Your neighbourhood Avon Lady
I like: The fun little comb makes application a breeze. I also like that the formula is light and clump free
I don’t like: How messy the tube gets, I’m not sure why, I think it has something to to with a comb instead of a brush
Revlon MegaLash Lengthening Mascara
Price: R120
Availability: I got mine at Woolworths Walmer Park
I like: That it’s clump free and dramatic looking, also you basically just need one coat.
I don’t like: How much the brush picks up, I’m a newbie, mistakes happen, racoon eyes happen
Benefit They’re Real
Price: Around R300
Availability: Online, or selected Edgars stores (havent seen it locally aka Port Elizabeth)
I like: How long lasting it is, what a dramatic difference you see and that it is waterproof
I don’t like: Price tag (because I’m cheap) or availability
Kangol Wild Length Lashes Lash Extend Mascara
Price: Around R60
Availability: Got mine at Truworths
I like: Feels super light but there is definite lengthening. Also love the smell (everyone sniffs cosmetics, right)
I don’t like: The packaging, I feel like it looks cheap, but that’s nitpicking

Benefit really is the best….and you’ve proved it too with your lash pics
I must say it was hard to find your page in search results.
You write awesome articles but you should rank your blog higher in search engines.
If you don’t know how to do it search on youtube:

Benefit is my absolute favorite. I don’t want to go back to another and like you, my least favorite is the price factor but there are just some things you can’t compromise on.
