This is it. To all of my followers, I thank you so much for the support and love I’ve received all of these years.
It’s been FOUR years since the mega foundation review series and I’ve decided to follow up with another marathon review series called the Holy Grail of Cosmetics.
The format is going to be similar to the “On the Search for the Perfect” series but we’ll be kicking it up a notch with first impression videos, plenty of high quality photos, and even more in-depth commentary on the products themselves. For an idea of how it’s going to look, please check out my latest post on MAC lipsticks and MAC Lip pencils.
The first set of reviews will be on the best drugstore mascaras according to Today.com’s article, “6 waterproof mascaras that makeup artists buy at the drugstore.” I was able to find 4 out of the 6 listed mascaras to give them a whirl and I settled for one other alternate product to review.
The Holy Grail Mascaras Series will include the following products:
- L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Waterproof Mascara in Black
- Maybelline New York Great Lash Waterproof Mascara in Very Black
- L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga Waterproof Mascara in Blackest Black
- CoverGirl Total Tease Waterproof Mascara in Very Black
- L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Waterproof Mascara in Black
All of the listed mascaras will be rated and reviewed on their performance as black, waterproof mascaras that do a combination of lengthening, defining, volumizing, and curling.
At the end of this first series, I’ll be posting a very special review for my Asian readers – a how-to with beauty tips to curl those stubborn Asian lashes. Whether you’ve got short, wispy lashes or long and thick lashes, we’re going to get that beautifully-curled, wide-eyed look. I believe there are many products out there that do wonders but fail to target or cater to people of color. As an Asian American woman, it’s important for me to write more reviews and articles like this thus demarginalizing and giving a voice to more women and people of color. And regardless of your ethnicity, tune in then to pick up some tips and tricks to make your mascara look and wear better.
The first mascara review will post this Thursday with a video! See you then!
