Best Affordable Mascaras


byRita

Hello beauties,

I have a big collection of mascaras, some of them are expensive but most are affordable. Why? Simple, I don’t always believe that more money means that it's better. But I don’t follow this rule in everything. Sometimes, on a blue moon, I see expensive products that makes me open my wallet and most of the times I don't regret it!

The thing is, I have an expensive one that every time I use it, my mind is blown away (the color, volume and extension are WOW), but I only use it in special occasions or when I need my eyelashes to shine like a Whitney Houston song in X-factor.


But today we are going to see my affordable top mascaras, the ones that I use every day. I love them, they are pigmented and last for so long!



#1 Essence Get Big Lashes
This one I have for some time. It’s my favorite. I can’t explain my love for this mascara, it’s triple black so the color is very good but the best is the incredible volume it gives. I can compare this mascara to my favorite of the expensive ones. Both give me so much volume and extension. The difference is in the color (the expensive one has a darker pigment). I can use this mascara for hours and hours and it won’t smear. This is always in my bag, you can see from the photos that I give it a good use.

#2 Yves Rocher Volume Mascara 360° waterproof
This mascara is in the same spot as the one from Essence. It gives so much volume and has a rich pigment. The only con is the removal. It’s a little bit difficult (a good eye makeup removal does the job). It’s the best to use in weddings! It won’t smear for anything and you can cry all that you want. I can scratch my eyes and it won’t smear. Unfortunately, mine is over, but I’m waiting for a new one.



 #3 Oriflame The one 5-in-1 Wonder lash Mascara

I like the extension this mascara gives to my eyelashes. It really pops! The volume is not as good as the one from Yves Rocher but I can see a good difference. The brush is very strange and the first time that I used it was I little bit odd. It has a part that is good to use in the up lashes and the other side is good to use in the bottom. 







#4 Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp Noir Extreme

When I want a natural look, I use this! It’s not the best in volume but in extension it’s pretty good. It’s very easy to removal. The only con, is the fact that the brush is very big and sometimes if you don’t have careful, when you apply it, you can smear the bottom lashes a little bit. (in the process, wide open your eyes and look up, don’t worry, just be careful).

Sunday #7 - It's new and we want to try it...

Hello beauties, Today is the day! It’s Sunday! It’s the day for our ‘It’s new and we want to try it’. But before we start, tell us how was your week? Mine was long (I feel like I’m living in Rihanna’s song …work, work, work) but the good news is that the weather in Portugal was phenomenal (hot days, cold nights…just how I like it). This warm weather made me want to use bright colors and I discovered a beautiful pink lipstick by H&M, perfect for my mood. Did you find something worth it, this week? Maybe a good eye pencil, a perfect hydrating cream? I feel like every week I find something that I love. On a side note, I just finished my second book from Deborah Harkness trilogy. I’m so excited to know that they´re filming the series (perfect cast, let me tell you). And you? What are you reading? (Two weeks and I probably will be in an anonymous non-book reunion. I don’t have any plans for my next book. (I'm accepting suggestions) Here I am rambling, I feel I’m always doing thi

Monday mask #8 - L’Oréal Paris Mask Detox effect

byARita Hello beauties, Did you see our ‘It’s new and we want to try it…” from yesterday? Take a look clicking here . If you remember, two weeks ago Joana talked about the Glamglow SuperMud Clearing Treatment and last week she talked about the Vicky that she tried and truly liked. This week we are going to continue our search for Glamglow’s dupe. After some research on google, I think I found one that is not exactly the same but for what I could see it’s almost. L’Oréal it’s a well-known brand (their Balmain lipsticks are still giving me dreams) and they have a lot of products. Their hair products are always in my bathroom as their makeup products. The skincare part, I have to be honest, I don’t use so much. Let’s be clear, I don’t have nothing against them, I just don’t have more because I don’t know them. Here in Portugal, the supermarkets have just one shelf with a lot of creams, but for what I could see, almost all are for mature skins (and I’m still 27 years old). If you know

Yves Rocher - Makeup Remover Glove

Hello beauties, If you are a beautyworkers follower you know all about my makeup remover routine. I wash every day my face with a good cleanser, an eye makeup remover and in the end, I like to use a micellar water. Sometimes I’m lazy and I love a good makeup remover that doesn't need water! I like my routine, I think in the end my skin is not 100% clean but I like to think that it’s at least 90-95%. But I know that this is impossible, so I’m always changing cleansers. I already found one that I like but this routine has a big bad con: environment! Normally (I’m not proud of this), I use 4-5 cotton pads. Can you imagine how many we spend for month? It’s absurd. I never stopped and thought about that. Add the packages of the makeup cleanser and in the end of the year tell me how much you spend in money and in materials that are bad for our ecology and nature. I know that I´m not the most ecological person on earth, I have my cotta of non-ecology situations but when I can, I like to t
