Review: Mascara Battle

Always wanted those long lushy eyelashes? Well if you can't make it then fake it.
For the past one year, we have been ardent followers of Maybelline's "Colossal" line. (Mascara and eyeliner)
But then came along Lakme's all new Eyeconic Mascara. So here's what we feel about both the products.

 

         

LAKME EYECONIC MASCARA               Vs.        MAYBELINE COLOSSAL MASCARA

• Ease of usage: Although Maybeline's wand is a little thicker but it is easier to use as compared to Lakme's due to the structure of the brush. We have to hold the Lakme mascara brush in a particular position in order to get it right.

• Volume: Lashes appear way thicker after using Maybeline.

• Water proof: Lakme mascara is defintely not waterproof but Colossal mascara is available in waterproof and volume express.

• Life: We personally feel Lakme stays on longer than Maybeline.

• Suitability : Lakme wins this hands down as it is suitable for any skin type. J has oily skin and lass has combination skin and it worked out fine for both of us. But Maybeline doesn't last that long on J's skin.

• Curling: Lakme keeps it's word when it comes to curling as the brush is so manufactured that it caters to lash curling needs. Maybeline mascara does not result in any curling of the lashes.

• Smudge proof: Lakme is smudge proof. Maybeline is not that bad but comparatively Lakme is better.

• Lengthening: As Lakme creates an illusion of curled eyelashes it helps in making the eyelashes appear longer.

• Affordability:  Lakme sells it's mascara(9ml) for Rs 250/- while Maybeline's mascara(10ml) costs Rs 330/ -

FINAL VERDICT

We think that Lakme's Eyeconic mascara has a slight upper edge over Maybeline's Colossal mascara.
