These lengthening mascaras give lash extensions a run for their money.
If you’re looking to rock longer lashes, but are tired of the monthly time, effort and cost of lash extensions, there are some mascaras designed with revolutionary technology to help add volume and length to your lashes with one simple stroke.
With naturally long lashes, I have always favoured reaching for a high quality mascara to define my lashes, rather than the glue and the extensions, as I find at times having long lashes is more of a curse rather than a blessing.
Before you judge me, let me explain. Long lashes can be tricky to maintain and often get in the way.
They continuously leave streak marks on the inside of my sunglass lenses, as they swipe up and down the lenses when I blink. Sometimes they grow the wrong way, and when the lashes are too long, they then fold down into your eye. Which can be tricky to try and resolve when you’re commuting on public transport or driving.
Of course the plus side of having long lashes is, I don’t need lash extensions.
Whether your lashes are long or short, if you’re tired of extensions, it’s time to put that lash glue down, because I’m about to share six fabulous mascaras which add legit length to your lashes whilst coating them in a non-clumping formula, giving spectacularly long lashes.
These mascaras have been designed to add length. So you don’t have to invest in any form of lash extensions.
There’s one ingredient they have in common; pigment.
They are high in pigment, giving lashes a rich contrast of colour and making them stand out. And some contain either small silk fibres or a variety of plant waxes and beeswax, which are mixed into the formula of the mascara, so when you apply it to your natural lashes, it applies a natural extension to the lash, which is easily removed at the end of the day.

My Favourite Beauty Product of the Week:
Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask RRP $32
Blackheads begone, say hello to smaller pores and cleaner skin.
One of my pet hates in beauty, is when a product promises to deliver on deep cleansing pores to help reduce their appearance and keep them clear for fresh and healthy skin, and few products available actually do deliver on these promises.
So, it’s incredibly rewarding to be able to trial a product, such as this fabulous clay mousse mask by Innisfree, and report this product does exactly what it delivers.
Perfect for congested and oily skin, it will clear up blemishes within days, leaving skin fresh, renewed and deliciously dewy and clean.
Like all Innisfree products, the key ingredient of this product is from the famous Jeju Island, which is the Jeju Volcanic Clusters and Spheres designed to remove excess oil and cleanse the pores.
