Estee Lauder Mascara Obsession!

If you have read my blog in the past you will know I am a MASSIVE fan of Estee Lauder's Double Wear Zero Smudge Lengthening Mascara.

It stays put for hours and hours with no flaking or panda eyes!

I have even cried in this and it has stayed put!

I knew that I would be coming to the end of the tube I have at the moment as it usually lasts me 6 months of using it every day. So when I saw Debenhams online had 10% off I snapped this new baby up to try!

This is the Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge Volume and Lift Mascara. I have not tried this one before but got excited by the word Volume on my favourite mascara!

 The brush for the lengthening mascara has longer bristles. The voluming and lifting has a really small brush with very very short bristles. 

The consistency is very similar I would say. I would say the voluming one is a little bit thinner than the lengthening one but this may be because I have had the lengthening longer and it may be drying out.

As you can see the results are also very similar. I would say the Voluming one does lift the lashes a little bit more but nothing you couldnt achieve with a little curling anyway.

I probably wouldn't buy the Volume and Lift mascara again simply because I think it is too similar to the Lengthening one and I prefer the wand on that!

I have in the past used the Zero Smudge Curling Mascara and think I would pick that over the Volume one.

However, I have no doubt I will enjoy using the tube up and get excited to buy my next one!

I always use this primer under my mascara. I feel it has helped my lashes stay strong and long and it gives that added oomph to them!

Are there any other Estee Lauder products I just HAVE to try?!

Garnier Caffeine Roll- on Dupe!

Nipped into Poundstretcher on the weekend to see if I could pick up any storage boxes for me moving back home and came across this, Pure Eye Roll-On!

I have been loving my Garnier Tinted  Caffeine Roll-on to conceal under my eyes (review to come!) in the day and have been on the look out for a new eye serum for night. So when I clapped eyes on this for 99p I thought I would give it a go.

It says it is 'Cucumber and caffeine eye roll-on. Enriched with cucumber extract and caffeine to help soothe and stimulate tired skin under the eyes and reduce the appearance of under eye bags.'

The packaging is exactly the same as my Garnier one. The product is very thin and smooths over my under eyes a treat. It is lovely and cold making it very refreshing. 

There is no fragrance to this product at all which I like. The only thing that worries my slightly is that it tingles slightly once you have put it on. This stops after a minute but still! It does say in the leaflet you get with it that it will tingle so I guess i shouldn't worry too much?

I can only compare this to my concealing Garnier Roll-on as I haven't actually tried the one this is a dupe for but for 99p I would definitely give this a shot!
