Buxom Amplified Mascara





  Buxom Amplified Mascara.  Quick review.  These are the pictures...I got this at Sephora for free...I think.  Hahah I can't remember.  But I really like this mascara.  This whole brush changing thing confuses me...I don't understand how it works!  It makes me feel like a child to say this, but it's like magic! Sadly, I haven't really figured out the trick to get a certain brush when I want it.  I like either of the brushes, so it doesn't matter too much.  

The mascara itsself is really good!  I don't really have problem with clumping ( That I have found so far), which usually happens to me on my left eye for some reason.  No real flaking that I can tell either -- I will make sure to keep better track.  AND what I realy love about it-- I get great looking lashes without really any effort. Some mascaras you ahve to use a brush then separate with a comb...etc etc etc.  But not this!  I keep it in my purse because I am usually running late in the mornings and do this in the car once I get to work.  It's perfect for that because I know that I am able to just apply and not have to worry about mistakes!  The brush is really easy to control and not too big so I never really make a mess on my eye with it.  
I really like it better than Benefit They're Real.  I think it gives me for volume and length and doesn't clump.


So far, this has been one of my favorite mascaras I've used.


I'm going to go with a score of:
9/10

I am not sure the price because I got it for free...but it's prob more than I would like to spend on a mascara for everyday.  But we will see.

N.Y.C High Definition Mascara

I got this mascara as a birthday present from my sister.  I tried it and had to review right away when I got back from out of town.

I totally love the cute bright packaging!  It makes it super easy to find in my make up stash - mascaras tend to have a darker color tub and it always gets lost in my bag!  Not this tube, that would be like losing a highlighter.  Now the brush:
As you can see, the wand is pretty slim and it is a plastic-y wand.  I like these because they provide me with great separation of my eyelashes, which seem like all the want to do is hang out in one big group...*sigh*.

And now- The Results!

(Before: I only have liquid eyeliner on..no mascara)
(After: HOLY MOLY! look at the length!)

I was super surprised by this mascara!  I literally said "wow" out loud after seeing the results.  I chose my left eye because my eyelashes are shorter on that eye, so I am able to see what this can do on my shorter lashes...poor left eye.  I was really impressed.  I didn't even spend time with a lash brush or anything because I was out of town and didn't have all the tools of the trade with me, but I just couldn't wait to try my new mascara!  Also note, I didn't curl my lashes before either.  I am going to try to pair this with a voluminous mascara and see what results I have.
Thanks Sister!
