Todays Budget Beauty is Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model Mascara set. Now before I begin, I did a bit of research this morning and found that you can't actually get these anymore, which is a shame because they are really good. I got these from Boots on a 3 for 2 offer around a year ago, and use them quite often. They came in a set of 3 for £9.99. So for any mascara, that it's ridiculously cheap anyway! They are my go-to mascara for lazy days, since it's easy to apply and easy to remove after.
There are three kinds- Curve, Long-Lash and Volume.
The Long-lash mascara uses a straight brush, with thick hair (at least I think it's hair) bristles, which i'm guessing helps to lengthen? I don't know.. The mascara itself is quite a thick texture, which I prefer because you then don't have to apply many coats of the stuff. It doesn't make your eyelashes clump together though, as you would have probably thought. There is a really nice fruity smell to it too, and it dries super quick. Neither of the products are waterproof, however, which isn't an issue for me. But if you feel the need to wear mascara whilst swimming, crying or in the gym, all you would need to do is add a topcoat of waterproof mascara. I use the long-lash the least, because I don't really think it makes a difference to my lash length, so doesn't really work like the others. But it is good for a basic mascara.
As you can see, the brush on this literally is a curve, which helps. The bristles are rubber, which I prefer. And again, there is a really nice fruity smell to the mascara. Obviously, for a cheap mascara, you can't really compare it to the upmarket mascaras that claim to add extra curve. However, I feel this one really does add curve, at least more curve than the long-lash or volume ones. So it doesn't fail in that sense. I usually use the long-lash mascara as a base, and the curve mascara as a top coat for best results from the two. Hopefully you've noticed that the bottles are all slightly different shapes too- this one is wider at the bottom, whereas the long-lash has a weird extra 'corner' (if you can call it that). The volume bottle was just bigger all round, but I thought this was a cute little touch to the design of them. I ended up running out of this, because it was really good.
It's a shame I can't seem to find these around anywhere online, because they really are worth the money.
