Review: Love & Beauty's Mascara Primer

I have always wanted to try a mascara primer ever since I heard about them. The reviews on most of them were positive but the only thing holding me back from buying for myself was the price. So when i saw this one from Love & Beauty by Forever21 for only $3.50 I had to try it out!

The product comes in a square bottle that has a matte finish.

The wand is like a typical mascara wand but the product itself is white.

Lashes curled with no make up

With the mascara primer. It mostly applies translucent and in some  places white.

Added one coat of Loreal's Voluminous Million Lashes (in 645)

On the left is the eye with the mascara primer and on the right is no mascara primer.

I wasn't sure of how this product was going to work for me because of the fact that it was only $3.50. I am so impressed by this product though! It gave my lashes so much more length and volume and staying power too! It also kept most of a curl which is super important if you have straight lashes like me! I forgot to add in that on the left eye in that picture only had one coat of mascara and the right has two. I am defiantly going to add this into my everyday routine!

Review: Rimmle London's Sexy Curves (Waterproof)

I picked up both the regular and waterproof version of this product at the drugstore the other day! I have heard a mix of reviews on both of these so I decided to try it out for myself. 


The packaging for the waterproof is a metallic, aqua blue color as shown in the picture above. It's very flashy  and I actually love how it looks.


When you take the wand out it has a curvy shape and is made from the plastic type of bristles.  

Before you see the pictures of my lashes I want to mention that i have naturally very straight lashes (which are such a pain) so I am very particular of what mascaras I use. 

This is my eye with no make up and curled lashes

 One coat

Two coats and on my bottom lashes

I don't know if you can tell that my expression changes as I put more coats on. I'm just gonna say its not the best mascara... 

There is a difference in the picture with no make up compared to the one with two coats, but not much. The formula is very watery so it tends to weigh down my eyelashes and also causes them to uncurl. It also takes forever to dry! Since the wand has those unique curves more product gets in the skinnier part which made my eyelashes all clumped together but with some fiddling around they got less clumped together. This product also has a strong aroma which can be overpowering. 

There are only a few things this product has to give that I like. The staying power is amazing! I have gone swimming multiple times wearing this and it has lasted through out the day (probably longer if i kept it on). The color is very black (which i like) so if you were looking for a more natural look this probably would not be the mascara for you. Also, it does add a good amount of length but a small about of volume. 

Overall Rating:

★★★☆☆ 

Would I buy this product again? 

No

This is just my opinion on this product. Just because it doesn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you! 

hope this helped!
