Volume on budget… Product Battle/Review - L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara & Revlon Ultra Volume Mascara!

I find it really hard to keep to just one mascara and buy that one over and over again.

I do have a few, that I have repurchased (which I should probably do a post about), but with all the options and continuously new launches, I just get to tempted.

As I did with these two.

Even though neither L'Oreal nor Revlon do my all time favourite mascaras, I do have had quite good luck with these brands before.

L'Oreal Paris False Lash Sculpt Mascara // Revlon Ultra Volume Mascara

The L'Oreal Sculpt mascara have gotten quite a lot of hype online, but I haven't really heard anything about the new Revlon line, so I was of course intrigued by both.

The Sculpt has a very unique plastic bristle wand, that you really need to get a handle on and get use to.

So the first time I used it, I really didn't like it at all, but the more I've used it, I have been warming up to it.

It is super black and almost glossy, which gives a really intense look.

It does give good volume, but I feel like it does make my lashes look a bit short a stumpy.

I didn't get the waterproof version, but it stays great on the lashes during the day, but this also makes it a bit of pain to remove at night.

The Ultra Volume has a very standard wand, so it is pretty easy going.

I love the packaging, it is sleek and simple.

It isn't as black and the formula is quite dry, and somehow I don't really feel like it gives as much volume as one would expect from a volume mascara - it does however give quite good length.

The dry formula also results in quite a bit of fall down during the day and at the end of the day there are pretty much no mascara left on the lashes.

So neither of the two really wowed me, so I started playing around with the them together.

On the forth picture above, I have them on my lashes together with Ultra Volume first and Sculpt over.

I thought this would be best to "lock in" Ultra Volume, but upon further try out, I found, that I actually like the look of Sculpt first and Ultra Volume on top best (this is unfortunately not featured in the pictures).

I do prefer using just one mascara, that do it all, but I often see myself doing this kind of layering with mascaras to get the look, I like.

I have still to find my holy grail mascara, that will stop me buying any other mascara - however I don't really see it happen ever (for the above mentioned reasons), but one can hope :-)

For now, I will give the L'Oreal Sculpt a 3 on the Rating Scale and the Revlon Ultra Volume a 2 - together the a very close to a 4.
