Hi my lovelies!
So this week's Sunday Swatches post (as the title suggests) is about my top 3 mascaras. I find that mascaras are a very personal thing; therefore it's only right I explain the type of lashes I have and what I also look for in a mascara!
My lashes I'd say they're of medium health, medium length, medium curl and medium volume all round! I've worked on clients who have very short and long length lashes, very curly and very straight, and very thick and some with barely any lashes (usually due to over use of lashes/extensions). So all in all I feel like my lashes are OK, but obviously mascara helps boost them a hell of a lot more.
What I look for I tend to look for more volumising mascaras so that it gives a false lash effect; if a mascara gives volume AND extra length however, it most likely will become a firm favourite for me.
My favourite mascaras have obviously changed over the years, but currently these stand as my top three and I'll explain further in the rest of the post!

Urban Decay Cannonball Mascara

The new waterproof mascara from Urban Decay is here, rumoured to be replacing the waterproof Big Fatty mascara.

 

It has a similar brush to the Big Fatty mascara but not as "fat":

I find that like the UD Lash Primer, this mascara has visible fibres in it that thicken the lashes, giving it volume:

Here's my lashes without anything on:

And then with Cannonball mascara:

Either the Lush Lash System I've been using is working or this mascara made my lashes super long but the mascara made them look scarily long and spidery! So I brushed it out with a clean mascara wand et voila:

Much more better! I personally don't like clumpy lashes so always tend to brush my lashes out. The mascara smells quite chemical-ly, but glides on smoothly, if not a bit dry. But I prefer dry mascaras to wet ones to avoid clumpiness again. The good thing about this is the waterproof quality as to date I haven't owned one and I have noticed less smudging towards the end of the day.
Priced at £15 (like the other mascaras), it's not cheap but may be something you're looking for if you need a waterproof mascara! Officially released by 15th June again, keep your eyes peeled for this!
