Mascara Swatches - Elite Paris Mascara vs Maybelline Mascara

2 mascaras are up for reviews today which are the Elite Paris Slim Mascara and Maybelline The Magnum Volum' Express Mascara.

LEFT: Elite Paris Slim Mascara; RIGHT: Maybelline The Magnum Volum' Express Mascara.

Elite Paris Slim Mascara  proclaims to endlessly stretched lashes, contain ultra-lengthening fibers and a shaped length brush. For me, it is reasonably priced with less than RM 30. It also lasts all day long with a very natural, lightweight and clump free.

However, its ultra lengthening fibers tend to fall out during the day on my upper cheek area making me wary about it and always on the look out. It is also not waterproof and tend to smudge slightly and does not hold curls very well.

This is not for those who want a false lashes effect. Thus, I am not repurchasing it.

Maybelline The Magnum Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara proclaims to give volume and cat eyes look due to its new cat eyes brush. It is extremely waterproof and high staying power, smudge proof, voluminous and strong curling power (provided eyelashes are curled prior to application). It is also reasonable for about RM 28. I loved the curved mascara wand which gives an ease application.

However, once opened, the mascara will tend to get thicker and more clumpy by the day. I would need to wipe my mascara wand with a tissue prior to application. This disadvantage is the greatest BOO-HOO I have encountered.

Despite that, this mascara is really worth the try and have been loving it!
