e.l.f. Essentials mascara in black brown

No love.

Bad wand and I don't like the texture either - the texture is kinda rubbery and even if I use the wand of another mascara, it still wants to clump together. Brushing it over with a clean wand is absolutely crucial. Whats most terrible - it won't come off the lashes without putting up a decent fight - tiny pieces of mascara will be around the eyes in the morning.
A miss - will not buy again nor advise anyone else to try it.

bare face, 1 coat of mascara
e.l.f.'i odavaim ripsmetušš on imho jama. Kumjas tekstuur, silmade pealt ei  ligune kuigi hästi maha ja silmist pudeneb pärast veel tükk aega ripsmetušitükke.

CS Sage Blue with Grape Parfait / Lumene's Volume Defining Mascara

These are both colors that need a colored/opaque primer underneath - a sheer one will not do. Both of them have more of a sheen-effect and low coverage when applied dry. CS Sage Blue is all over lid and inner corners, TKB Grape Parfait in outer corners and crease, TKB's Champagne on the brow-bone. Did not bother to curl lashes. Manhattan's eyeshadow primer. Skin is flaking, exfoliating does not help.
This color-duo needs a third color, badly. It looks so undefined and bland - am thinking either cool brown or dark gray in the crease. And definitely some base, either skin-coloured or dark.
Mascara used is Lumene's Volume Defining Mascara, the green one, it was a gift-with-purchase.
Consistency is very liquid and the wand looks like Blueberry Curls'.

After swimming (I never stick head under water while swimming) and couple of sauna trips this is what remained:
(sry about the bad lighting conditions): I'd say a mighty good mascara. 
Air humidity in the spa was close to 70%. Eyeshadow has creased.

Kui endal ripsmematerjali piisavalt ja pole vaja neid pikendada-paksendada vaid üksnes tumedamaks toonida, siis on Lumene vedelamat sorti ripsmetušid täitsa omal kohal. Kehv on see, et Natural Code seerias ei kohanud pruuni ripsmetušši. Ma pole suur musta ripsmetušši fänn sest liiga kontrastne meik läheb kahvatu nahaga vastuollu. Kaubariiulitel on aga lahti läinud mingi blackest-black maania.

Lumene Natural Code Eye Dramatizer mascara

Bought a new mascara this weekend (old blueberry curl one dried up), had to take advantage of the birthday discount. I was amazed to see them priced as low as 70 kroons (5,8 USD; 4,5 EUR), usually they're close to 160 (13 USD; 10,2 EUR).


Unfortunately Lumene Natural Code had no brown mascaras so I chose a black one this time. The wand is small and slim, the entire tube has a nice elegant slim feel to it. Keeps well and does not come off easily. The wand is very long though and one has to pay attention not to smear the lids with paint. Smells good and I really like the consistence - apparently no parabens in there.
