E.L.F MINERAL INFUSED MASCARA

Hi girls,
So a serious review after EID is here finally.This time its a mascara.I have just medium sort of lashes,like  no long fringe and no extra volume I can boast of.So I would love to get my hands on a good mascara that can give me a volumizing plus lengthening effect.Also it has to be halal.Now thats the real problem.[For my friends, who are not very involved in halal/haram debate I would recommend L'oreal Voluminous Full definition mascara.It is a perfect dupe for Georgio Armani  "Eyes to kill" mascara (one of the best).]

Ok so a mascara can be haram if it contains some oils derived from animals.This is the only thing which requires further research by me.Because according to wikipedia the mascaras contain mineral oil mostly.(For more on halal cosmetics read this post and this post).

Not all mascaras have haram ingredients, but some might have and I try my best to avoid the non vegan ones to be on the safe side.

So, I tried this mascara by ELF(Eyes Lips Face UK is all Vegan).The company makes several mascaras,but this one seemed to be the best.Let's see how It worked for me.

E.L.F MINERAL INFUSED MASCARA

Ingredients

Got it in PKR 575 from Beauty in budget 4 U.Here is the post where I got it.

The packaging feels light.Given that it is a 3$ mascara I can live with it.

I lovvvve the wand and the brush shape.It is ideal for mascara application.Even novices can not go wrong with it.

Good points:

No clumping,no flaking.At all.No matter how many coats you apply It.just.wont.clump.

Feels light on lashes.

Halal



Bad Points:

Doesn't add much drama to lashes.

Final question.Does it work?

Ok so the photos say it all about the effects of the mascara.It defines the lashes and coats them evenly and beautifully.It does add a little length, but nothing Falsies like.The lashes look natural yet defined and noticeable.So,this one is ideal for a natural and day look.

It gives my eyes an instant opening effect as you can see in the photos.It is Not a miracle worker, but didn't disappoint me :)

 It lasts through the day.This is another plus point.

The mascara is water proof.However,It is easy to remove with a makeup remover.

So,all in all it is a nice mascara for daily use.It doesn't promise anything, but "natural healthy looking lashes" and this is what it gives you.I mean why expect curled up,super lengthened lashes when it is a simple mascara for daily use **WINKS**

RECOMMENDED:

If you want a mascara for daily use which gives a nice definition and volume to lashes.Best for day time use.Halal/Vegan
