Penneys Mascara Wands Review.

 Let me set the scene, I went into Penneys "just for a look" and as I was wandering aimlessly around, convincing myself I really did need a new pair of pyjamas I came across this amazing little find. Penneys are now doing disposable mascara wands! As a qualified make-up artist I probably got a little bit over excited but in my defence when I was doing my course this kind of thing was not readily available and certainly not at that price. I had to order them online and pay more for shipping then the actual product or traipse down to the local beauty supply shop and fork out for little stubby yokes that did more harm then good. Anyway, enough with my sob story and onto the product.

 They come in a packet of fifteen and have four different styles, lengthening, volumizing, curling and defining. They are made from latex which I like as I have a preference towards plastic wands, my favourites being L'Oreal volume million lashes so couture, L'Oreal lash sculpt, Max Factor false lash effect and our dearly departed Rimmel sexy curves (R.I.P.). I just feel that for me, plastic wands don't catch the eyelid skin as much as natural bristled wands and it makes it easier for me to get right down the roots of my lashes to get maximum drama.

 

 I used my current makeup bag essential L'Oreal volume million lashes so couture with all of these wands when trying them out. Because of the material of these wands you could wash and re-use them, ONLY however if they are for personal use!.

Defining wand

 I found this wand took a little getting used to, it was slightly clumpy to begin with but once I took some of the mascara off the wand it worked a dream and turned out to be my favourite finished lash look. The ball at the end is great for getting into the small hard to reach areas of the inner corners and the bottom lashes.

Curling Wand

I found the curling wand gave me the most volume. A slightly clumpy finish, it gives the most dramatic look. A great one for a night out. My lashes stayed upright all day with this wand.

Volumizing Wand

 Similar to the defining wand, the volumizing wand gives great definition and coats every lash with the help of the spikey end, making lashes appear fuller.



Lengthening Wand



This wand is very similar to the L'Oreal volume million lashes so couture wand (have I mentioned it's my fave at the moment enough yet?), so I knew I was going to like the effect. It does what it says on the tin and lengthens the lashes giving a lovely natural fluttery effect. 

This product is essential for anyone practising makeup or doing a makeup course anyway so why not spend less and get more? Four styles for €2 and as easily accessible as your local Penneys? It doesn't get much better. They are definitely going in my kit. Can Penneys do any wrong?

 

Until Next Time,
