Artdeco become my favorite ˝drugstore˝ brand. They have high quality
products with good ingredients and their production in based in Germany. I
think I got rid of all ˝Made in China˝ makeup and decided to avoid some brands
in big circle. Quality over quantity – that is my motto for this year. I want
to reduce the number of my makeup products and be a selective and not impulsive
buyer. Anyway let me show you two of my recent purchases (there were quite a few) from Artdeco.
Crystal mascara&liner ˝Onyx Glamour˝
First I saw Crystal lash mascara top coat from Estee Lauder and got
excited as kid, but that one is expensive and always sold out. Then I saw that
Artdeco has something similar and could be a great and cheaper (half that
price) dupe for Estee, but sadly I was wrong.
This is transparent mascara/liner with black and silver shimmer. You
could use it alone or as top coat over your favorite mascara to add some
sparkle. The product looks great on lashes; it gives nice and not overly
glittery effect and adds a bit of volume. Sparkle parts are only visible from
some angles, so this is not over the top shiny. But this product doesn’t want to dry, it just stays wet
for a long time and that causes major
glitter fallout. I was afraid something would fall into my eyes, so I
stopped using it and trying to make it work. Such a disappointment, I was
really excited about this product. I also used it as liner and the same thing
happened. I hate this wand, but it still somehow works as it’s just piece of
swirled plastic with some short bristles on the opposite side if you want to
use this as liner. This crystal mascara/liner is part of collection for holiday
2017 called ˝The art of beauty˝. The same product was presented the year before
and reviewers had the same problems as I do, so it’s a shame that they couldn’t
make an improvement within a year.
Amazing effect mascara
This became my favorite. It gives such a natural effect, soft volume and
some length. Nothing spectacular, but it creates the look that I’m going for –
mine lashes, but bolder and better. I hate when you can tell from far that
someone is wearing mascara. This is crazy, because one day I would like to try
to wear false lashes.
I like that it has small, rubber brush, so you can apply it very
precisely. I’m often afraid of giant brushes and that huge packaging. This is
slim and elegant, easy to carry in you makeup bag. It doesn’t smudge or
irritate my sensitive eyes. I can easily remove it with my wipes. It rarely
creates any clumps if any. I usually remove that with clean, old mascara brush
– problem solved. It is one of the cheapest mascaras from Artdeco what is also
a plus.
