Hi Candy: awesome video! Can you just confirm if the Great Lash and Exact Eyelights that you used were the regular or waterproof versions? I have been using Great Lash for YEARS, like 13 years! When I was a teenager and first started buying makeup, my Mom found an article in Flare or Elle or something, and comparing about ten or so different mascaras, Great Lash, at $4-6, beat out all the way more expensive others.
I've had many samples/freebies of mascaras from Clinique, Estee Lauder, and Lancome over the years because my Mom and Aunts always give me the freebies from their gifts, and they were always clumpy! Also, Great Lash regular and Great Lash Waterproof are way different: the waterproof version is clumpy. Can you let me know if Eyelights is still your favourite mascara? :)
@lepidopterist81 It's definitely still my favorite! I've tried a few more since then but nothing to write home about at all. I used the regular version of Great Lash..I try to stay away from waterproof on myself because I have terrible eye allergies and fighting it at the end of the day isn't worth it lol.
Tu devrais Mieux coiffer tes cils .Mes une base avant , apres ton mascara , op on brosse on démele pour eviter les paquet comme ces le cas dans ta video , un petit coup de recourbe cils et ces parfait :D . Continue bien
@ktluvaxx That's an awesome one, too! I need to do a new version of this video, I've tried a few more since then (like the Colossal) that were really great!
Haha, how weird.. about a month after I posted that I received a free Smashbox Lash DNA mascara sample from Sephora after I made an order with them... And that's actually my new favorite. :3 But since it's a higher end mascara, I don't see myself buying that on a regular basis. Maybe if you can get your hands on that one you should include it in your updated video? If your lashes are anything like mine it'll be amazing! :)
@ktluvaxx If I can get my hands on a sample or something, I'll definitely do that! I'm cheap haha I hate to spend more than ten or eleven bucks on mascara.
@ramenred17 Same :P Well, same thing only with Maybelline's One by One. I thought no one else really cared because almost everyone *loves* and uses L'Oréal, CoverGirl, and Maybelline mascaras. <3
@SunxSurfxSand Thank you so much!! It definitely does wear as good as it looks, it's my absolute favorite mascara. Maybe I should make another video about how they wear..hmm! Yeah, some of them were pretty nasty..who knew?!
I don't really notice a difference in brightness for me personally, but there is definitely a small amount of shimmer in it. Not nearly as much as the Lash Blast Luxe, though!
I appreciate your comparisons...I've been on Great Lash for about 7 years and was ready to move on ...but didnt want to put in the work to find a replacement..
full and soft is by far the best mascara on the market, along with bad gal lash by benefit. both of them aren't messy, don't clump, but add a lot of volume and length.
yeah i've through most of the kinds u listed, and right now Cover Girl is my fav. I have blue eyes so i used the blue mascara, and my eyes just popped! luv the video girl, keep u the good work! ;)
i use like 3 different mascaras cuz my eyelashes are really really short but if i put mascara on and curl them they dont look as short. one thing i hate is that bent look when girls curl they're eyelashes. right now im using Lash Exact by Cover Girl which is really good and Colossal by Maybelline. I think im gonna have to try the one you have also! lol I have never liked MAC mascara they all clump to me =/
I'm not really sure..you'd have to check the packaging (I don't have the package any more) but I have sensitive eyes as well and it doesn't bother me. I can't say for sure it won't bother you, though :)
this is so so so so so useful... im shocked too! i did buy the blast lux from cover girl but im definately gonna try our winner here as well thank you SO much
I used to love Great Lash (right now, I'm actually wearing the Blackest Black formula), but now that I've compared it, I think I should definitely switch to Exact Eyelights. I find it's really messy to put on, especially on my lower lashes.
I'm glad I saw this video, cause I have been meaning to try the Exact Eyelights one for a while. Now I will definitely have to pick one up! I've tried so many and I always go back to either Big Fatty by Urban Decay, or Maybelline's Define-A-Lash (my fave!)
I will for sure get one, I think Rite Aid is having a covergirl sale this week. They're always having some sort of makeup sale lol. And I definitely recommend the Define-A-Lash! I love it :]
thanks for the videos. i always used the pink one and mac. but i cant believe what the last one did, i was shocked too, i cant wait to try it =) thanks a lot for the video. i hope ur eye gets better =)
I have also recently been shocked by drugstore mascara. I bought Maybelline Full and Soft a few days ago and I am in love! Keep in mind I have naturally long, straight lashes that are somewhat thick. What impressed me about Full and Soft was the added volume it gave my lashes, the no mess formula, holding the curl and no smudging. I applied this mascara at 10:00 am Friday it is now almost 4:00am Saturday and the mascara still looks great. Maybelline, who would have thought?
Who knew the CoverGirl would outdo MAC and Clinique?? I love my Lash Blast and Lash Blast Length... but I may have to check out the Eyelights... Wonderful comparison, thank you!!
I did a review on it before it hit stores. I saw it in Walmart the other day, and it's BRAND NEW. It's a yellow tube, and seriously, it really adds amazing length!
Omg use they're real by benefit I've tried every mascara best ever used a little expense but no joke amazing the brush is perfect
