Indecent Exposure

Always on the look out for a good mascara to use in between false lashes use, I bought the Smashbox travel size three mascara set with a bonus lash primer.  I have been testing them for a few months and have definite thoughts on them all.

Here I am wearing the first mascara Indecent Exposure with the accompanying lash primer.  I think this is the best out of the trio.  It lengthens, pulls your lashes up and out, and volumises.  It can clump a little but if you go back and brush through it usually dispels it.  There is no smell.  The brush is smaller than the other two mascaras X Rated and Full Exposure.  Without the lash primer though the result is underwhelming.  So please make sure you buy both if you want to purchase it otherwise you will be disappointed.

I definitely recommend it with the lash primer.  I didn't experience flaking or any other undesirable effects from primer nor any of the mascaras in this post.

Full Exposure Mascara

 Again you must use the lash primer for this to look as good as it possibly can; this mascara has a big bristle wand.  No smell, and gives a more fluttery, eye opening, lengthening with volume.  I really like this and i just wish it was a darker black.  It looks light, lashes are defined without looking clumpy.  It is quite lovely!

X Rated Mascara

This is slightly more intense than the Full Exposure mascara.  Again, I used it with the matching primer.  My only complaint would be the depth of the color.  This mascara formulation does have a ever so slight smell but it shouldn't bother you and as soon as you stop applying it, the smell dissipates.  Its really hard to choose which is the best, because I like them all for different reasons.  I recommend them all as long as you apply the lash primer first and then apply the mascara. Don't let it dry too long because then the mascara's will apply too dry and crunchy.

Smashbox Photo Finish Lash Primer
 


The Smashbox Photo Finish Lash Primer is a plastic bristle brush with a cream colored primer of a mascara like consistency.  There is no discernible smell and I experienced no irritation.  My only tip is once you have applied this to your lashes, its best to apply your chosen mascara immediately.  If you don't the mascara will go on crunchy and dry and not nice basically. 

After wearing all of these mascaras for a few months as long as you get the primer then I recommend any of these mascaras for purchase.
