Comparison Review - SEPHORA V/S LOREAL

Also follow me on Facebook Page MissBoPeep

SEPHORA – OUTRAGEOUS VOLUME - DRAMATIC VOLUME MASCARA and LOREAL VOLUME MILLON LASHES
My idea of this page username ‘Miss Bo Peep’ was obviously inspiration from our famous rhyme’s character of a shepherd girl, Little Bo Peep. It was always portrayed with long curled eyelashes, rosy cheek, ruby red lips and gorgeous skin.
Flirtatious curled eye-lashes , fluttering its way to absolute femme temperament can’t be missed by anyone.  Often good enough to skip heart beats and floor down masculinity!! ;) These lovely eyes are made and one can’t be born with it. Mascara is the word for it.
After having used a number of them for years, some become your favourites and worth a re-purchase and some could be forgotten completely. 

Mascara could be giving you 3 effects.
1.       Long curled eye-lash (for day use, soft eyes and no-makeup look)
2.       Thick voluminous false eye-lash effect ( for night use, prominent eyes and important occasions)
3.       Coloured eye-lash (not my types)


 Two mascaras that are definitely worth a mention are the Sephora – Outrageous Volume – Dramatic Volume Mascara and Loreal – Volume Millon Lashes.

My Verdict

4/5
3.5/5
Will I repurchase?

My hunt for a better than the last mascara will never end.

Disclaimer: No mascara can give you that dramatic effect unless used after a curl from an eye-lash curler. So its a must have!
