Mascara Monday: Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara.

Wimpy lashes, stand up and take notice. Do you crave volume but just can't seem to find the right formula? Look no further: Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara from Estée Lauder is for you.

What makes Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara extremely volumizing? It’s the combination of the lightweight Extreme Bold Volume Formula™, a special blend of three customized lash building fibers and the exclusive Extreme BrushComber™.

The Extreme BrushComber™ is a big brush in a new shape that gives you all the thickening of a brush with the definition of a comb. The brush holds more mascara, which means it will magnify and multiply lashes by delivering additional product and performance. The triangle cut is easy to use and reaches every corner of your lashes despite its big size.

The Extreme Bold Volume™ Formula is a new mousse-like formula contains a calculated blend of light-weight gels, polymers, waxes and pigments that create lightweight volume without clumping. A new blend of hybrid powders made of different sizes, spherical Silica and plates of Mica, maximizes volume to the extreme.

The Tri-blend Multiplying Fibers act like lash extensions as they fill in even the sparsest of lashes – to instantly magnify and multiply the look of lashes.

The results are amazing. My lashes are longer, thicker and more defined with volume, all while continuing to be flexible -- never brittle.

Which shade are you? This mascara comes in four expressive shades of Extreme Black, Extreme Brown, Extreme Indigo and Extreme Violet. I stick with Black, so Extreme Black is for me.

Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara retails for $23.50 and is available at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and esteelauder.com.

Mascara Monday: Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara.

Did you know that 82% of women wear mascara on a regular basis? And 80% of women surveyed said their brush was either too fat, too long or curved the wrong way to apply to bottom lashes.

Although a makeup-must, even the most highly acclaimed mascara aficionados find it challenging to apply mascara to teeny, tiny bottom lashes and keep the formula from smudging or flaking.  Thankfully, Clinique is here to help.  Always at the forefront of mascara innovation, Clinique’s new Bottom Lash Mascara is specially designed to reach those hard-to-find bottom lashes and lasts for 24-hours with a special long-wearing formula.

Exclusive to Clinique, the Bottom Lash Mascara micro-mini brush is one of the smallest on the market with the biggest job of enhancing smaller, more delicate lower lashes.  The unique precision applicator perfectly defines bottom lashes to create a naturally wide-eyed, lash look.  Housed in a beautifully designed silver floral patterned barrel, its miniature size makes it the perfect portable partner to any Clinique mascara. 

Here’s a tip: For those who have short bottom lashes, hold brush tip vertically and wiggle through lashes then hold normally (or horizontally) to even out for a perfect application.

Choose from Black or Brown/Black.

Bottom Lash Mascara is available for $10 at Clinique counters and online at clinique.com.

Mascara Monday: L’Oréal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara.

I am a big fan of the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous line of mascaras. When I tried False Fiber Lashes Mascara, I was plenty excited. I love the look of flase lashes and do what I can to get that look without actually wearing them. And that is the point of this mascara.

You see, the power of False Fiber Lashes comes from two things - the brush and the formula.

The brush is slender, but full and thick with its slighly curved, cone shape. One coat and lashes are bold. Two coats and they are perfectly bold and bigger than you would expect.  Three coats, and you can start to get clumpy lashes, so be careful if you must, but stopping at just two coats is plenty of lash for me. My lashes look big and bold, almost fake, all day, with no smearing, flaking or clumping.

The formula is made up of dual-fibers, that utilizes a combination of super-fine nylon and rayon fibers. The ingenious mixture perfectly adheres to natural lashes, all the way from the root to tip, thanks to the special polymers in the formula. Lashes are lengthened and volumized, like you have probably never seen from just a mascara before. 

False Fiber Lashes sells for $8.95 at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer. Choose from the regular formula in Black, Blackest Black or Black Brown; or the Waterproof formula (perfect for summer) in Blackest Black or Black.
