I am one of those people who won't leave the house without putting mascara on (ok, sometimes I do, but rather unwillingly). Which is to say that I love long, curly, black eyelashes. And that is why I am excited about 2V Mascara from Red Earth Cosmetics (an Australian company whose products are now found around the globe). So, what is special about this mascara?
First of all, the formula contains Carnauba Wax and Beeswax to thicken and lengthen the lashes. When used in eye makeup, these waxes stiffen but do not harden the product to facilitate application. The former, known as the "queen of waxes", is extracted from leaves of a Brazilian plant, Carnauba palm. It also contains sweet Almond Protein that prevents mascara from clumping and ensures smooth application.
You have five colors to choose from: the more classic black and brown or the more adventurous blue, green and purple.
As mentioned earlier, I am partial to black eyelashes, but as I recently read in a magazine, there are some good reasons to choose a blue mascara, namely:
- Blue mascara accentuates the whiteness of your eyes
- With blue mascara, blue eyes get bluer, brown eyes get a golden shade and hazelnut eyes get a tint of green
The magazine's advice was to use your black mascara first and then use the blue one for the ends only, which will create an effect that's "dazzling" yet "subtle enough".
