[Estée Lauder] More than Mascara in Rich Black

I got this sample mascara from a gift set I got last last Christmas and I am in love with this mascara. It is still in the old packaging, since this was like from 2 years ago. Sorry for the crappy photos. I took the photos using my tablet to see how the pictures will be.

THE COLOR

  • Advanced pigment technology creates the blackest shades possible
  • Light is absorbed, reflections reduced, color is visibly intensified.

Ingredients: Purified water, carnauba, silica, stearic acid, polyisobutene, glyceryl, stearate, oleic acid, acrylates, copolymer, aminomethyl, propanediol, pvp/ polycarbamyl polyglycol ester, hydroxyethlcellulose, propylene glycol, trehalose, lauroyl lysine, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, simethicone, imidazolidynl urea, methyparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, (may contain: titanium oxide), mica, iron oxides, bismuth oxychloride, carmine, ultramrines, chromium oxide greens, chromium hydroxide green.

Estee Lauder More than Mascara Brush

What I like about the product:

  • Creates soft, full, natural looking lashes.
  • Lengthens
  • No clumping, no flaking, no smudging, no smearing, no stinging.
  • Dries up fast
  • Waterproof
  • It is able to reach the hard to reach lashes.

Neutral:

  • Contains parabens. Parabens is still arguable whether it really is bad for the skin or not. Some people might strictly not like it, while I am just neutral about it.

What I don’t like about the product:

  • I don’t think it’s available locally.
  • It only lengthens a little. My eyes are monolid and the effect isn’t seen very visible unlike other lengthening mascaras.
  • Doesn’t volumize.
  • Mascara dries up fast, so you have to use it up as soon as possible.

Verdict: This mascara is not for those who are looking to wanting dramatic lashes. This mascara is great for those who wants to keep their makeup on a minimal and great for making natural looks. I like to use this mascara on lazy days when I don’t feel like putting on too much but still looking good. One of my major monolid problems is that mascara tend to smudge my lids. What I especially like about this mascara is that it dries up fast. that it doesn’t smudge on my eyelids.

Would I repurchase? Yes but no. This costs around USD 22 and that’s too expensive for me, maybe when I am on a splurging mode.

To whom do I recommend this to? To anyone who wants to have a more natural looking lashes.

Back Alive | Estée Lauder Travel Case

3rd Best Oral DefenseBy God’s grace and mercy, we came 3rd in Best Oral Defense

February was a hell for us college graduating students. I was so busy I wasn’t able to fulfill my resolution to blogging twice a week. We were packed with papers, deadlines, quizzes, and exams. Looking back everything seemed like a mad rush for us and February just seemed like it was just yesterday. It seemed like it was just yesterday when we were defending our thesis defense. But now, we’re glued in our screens waiting for our final grades to be released and anticipating our graduation march this April.

I am now free from all my school constraints! I can now freely blog as much as I want.

Estée Lauder Gift Box

I received a travel case from my Ninang for Christmas back in December. It’s my Ninang who would always give me Estée Lauder gifts. I’ve meant to post about this but due to school work I held back. I just loved her gift for me, even my mom wanted it! She kept bugging me before that I should just give it to her but I wouldn’t budge.

The travel case  is very beautiful and functional. It also contains a few beauty essentials.

My Make-up Collection: Eyes

This post has been long overdue and has been stuck in my drafts for weeks now. So previously, I blogged about my face make-up (My Make-Up Collection: Face) now I it’s all about the eyes! I have more eye make-up than any other product and yet I still plan on buying more. Ironically, my addiction to eye make-up started with my annoyance with my monolid eyes. (more…)
