Awesome video editing skills. The Max factor eye def. looked more volumized, but I can't tell in the close-ups..

[fionaman]

In the video, one of my eyes looks more volumized because of where the lighting source is coming from.

But the pictures are definitely a better representation. There is no noticeable difference between the two.

I've tried lasting lift and it didn't really impress me. It was way too expensive and there are other drugstore waterproof mascaras perform better than lashing lift in my opinion :-/.

[beeboo93]

i know you might not like department store mascara BUT you should try the shiseido lasting lift mascara. it's the best!!! it's lengthening with decent volume and waterproof that's easy to take off but doesn't smudge. by the way, i live in hong kong which you should know that is grossly humid!!!

max factor is the best. ive used both of these in the regular formulas. im sad that my favorite mascara won't be sold in the us after next year :(
