I used to think my eyelashes were nice and long enough to wear them bare of mascara most of the time, then I got my holy grail Anna Sui DX Long Lash Mascara and I realized that my lashes could be SO much better. I'm not exactly a mascara fiend, I'll take pretty much anything and use it for as long as I possibly can untill someone (usually Mum) gets me a new one.
In the red corner: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lash Extending Treatment Mascara
I used this for about two months and enjoyed it. I've decided that it's really important not to judge a mascara until the formula starts to thicken, about two weeks after you start using it. This was nice and thick right from the get go. The brush is a nice size, traditional hairs & conical shape. Not only does this mascara lengthen your lashes, it also makes the base of your lashes really thick and dense which I love. Staying power is good, it doesnt smudge but definately isn't waterproof so do try not to rub your eyes too much.
In the blue corner: Rimmel Lash Accelerator
I've been using this for a mere two weeks so my opinion on it could change. Just like I mentioned above, the formula is starting to thicken which is good, it was, like, super watery before and I was very unimpressed. I feel like the brush has a tendency to clump up if you dont wipe it off properly. It's an unusual brush, unlike any mascara brush I have ever had before. To most people the whole plastic/rubberised brush phenomenon might not be very cutting edge but to me it is. Overall this mascara does make my lashes BIG, especially when I build it up with two or three coats, and I'm not necessarily hatin' on the clumpy lashed look. I would describe stayingg power as moderate, I'm a committed eye-rubber and that causes this mascara to flake under my eye, definitely noticeable at the end of the day.
Winnner? I'm not sure. My eyelashes are almost positively definitely maybe longer. They seem to reach further up my eye lid than before. I shall post some pictorial evidence and let y'all be the judge! One picture is from December last year and the other is from today!
