IsaDora Build-Up Volume Mascara Review

Just as the title suggests, IsaDora Build-Up Volume mascara is made for all those who wish to maximize the volume of their eyelashes. Additionally, it is water proof, fast drying, hypoallergenic and can be used for multiple coats.  All this seems to make the mascara quite unique. But is it all just big promises or something real? Let’s find out here.

Benefits:
Although slightly more expensive than all other brands, IsaDora is available in most drugstores. This is where I actually picked up its Build-Up Volume mascara. On seeing it, I realized its tube was much bigger than the rest. So I thought it had plenty of mascara liquid inside. As soon as I brought it home, I tested it by applying it to my eyelashes. What was the test result? Well, it turned out of be positive. The mascara did not create clumps and truly was fast drying. I would give Moreover, it gave a nice volume to my lashes. I would give its credit to its high quality brush. Overall, the mascara did half of what it promised. But I cannot really say whether it is really hypoallergenic. It is just that my eyelashes do not negatively react to mascara products.

Problems:
Although IsaDora Build-Up Volume mascara’s fast drying ability is a good feature for all those who wear makeup in a hurry it can turn out to be a problem for the slow and careful ones. To be clear, its one application makes the eyelashes hard. So going for the next coat becomes quite a difficult job.  This should imply to you that multiple coat feature of this mascara is rather a hype created by IsaDora. Another problem is that this product is not completely long lasting. Yes, it seems to be waterproof, but long wear leaves solid black mascara particles under the eyes. At least this is what I experienced.

Verdict:
IsaDora Build-Up Volume mascara is not a bad product. I used it and liked how it enhanced the beauty of my eyelashes. In short, I am satisfied with it and thus, I am ready to overlook some of its problems, and give it 4 out of 5 stars. The truth is that no mascara in this world is 100 percent perfectly made. So there is no point in being too harsh on IsaDora Build-Up Volume. At least, it does not leave clumps. We also cannot ignore the fact that its tube actually contains a lot of mascara liquid.

Clinique High Impact Mascara Review

Clinique High Impact mascara is designed for all those who want to see the volume in their eyelashes.  Interestingly, this little product delivers more than that. We will take a look at it here today, but since it is a review post, I will also discuss the disadvantages associated with this mascara.

Benefits: 
I have always been a fan of Clinique products. It is just that they always seem to keep me satisfied.  So despite the fact that I already own three mascaras from three different brands, I had to get its High Impact. Now does it really give volume to the eyelashes? The answer to it is yes,  but there are some more surprising benefits that I have acquired from it. First of all, even after applying it to my lashes I feel as if I am wearing nothing. Another amazing thing I have noticed is that it hardens them only moderately and stays nonstick throughout the day.  My curiosity actually makes me touch my lashes sometimes. Strangely, the color of the mascara never seems to stick to my fingers. Because of all this, whenever I plan on using less makeup to keep my natural look alive I choose High Impact for my lashes. 

Problems: 
Now one thing that is disappointing about Clinique High Impact is its brush. Sure it glides well onto the eyelashes, but the problem is that it leaves them straightened if a good curler is not in use. In addition, it creates clumps. I must mention here that different users can have different opinions on this. I already have dense eyelashes and so most mascaras do leave them clumped up. But High Impact always wins in the "clump them down" race much quicker than all of them! Another point to note is that it gives an innocent and not a seductive look to the eyes. So those who wish to have their eyelashes appear sexy must avoid this mascara.

Verdict:
Overall, Clinique High Impact is a good mascara. This is true quality wise. Not too many mascaras are actually nonstick to the fingers. Also it seems to be best for all those who like less makeup. Now as previously mentioned, High Impact is a volume enhancer and fortunately, it performs this job quite well. So in a way, we can say that its keeping its promise. This simply kills any debate we want to raise against its disadvantages. Thus, it deserves 3.5 out of 5 stars.
