Overall I was really impressed with all of the products I picked up from the collection, even if there were mixed reviews online. One of the products I picked up on a whim was the Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara...
(what a mouthful!), it ended up being one of my favourite products so I thought I'd share a review with you all today.
It's a super lengthening, defining mascara that also gives you quite a lot of added volume. I'm normally a volume girl when it comes to mascara, but finding one that can do volume AND definition is quite rare.
The tiny little brush makes it easy to reach every single lash and it's great for the bottom lashes. I have naturally quite long lashes and people comment on them a fair amount, but I have to say, whilst wearing this, numerous people have asked me not only what mascara I'm wearing, but if I'm wearing false lashes (which is something that does not happen very often!)
The wear time of this is really good. It claims to be a 16 hour wear mascara and I definitely agree with that. I've applied this at around 7am and not removed it till midnight and it was still going strong. I haven't noticed it flakes or smudges easily and although it's not the easiest mascara to remove, it's not overly stubborn to get off at the end of the day.
Overall, I'm really impressed with this and would definitely repurchase it. If you like the look of it, but missed the RiRi collection before it sold out, then fear not! It's part of MAC's permanent line (albeit not in the snazzy pink packaging) and you can pick it up for £15.50 from MAC counters or stores.
Great, I just purchased online the new 3D mascara. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooooooo jealous!!!! I was going to get at least one thing from the Ri Ri collection but literally everything was sold out!!! :(
DeleteI've never tried a MAC mascara but that picture...! I think I might have to dive into the world of Extended Play.
ReplyDeleteoooh, me too! Lovely post fleur:)
Deleteooo I want to try this!
DeleteThank you for the reviw, very informative :)
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely on I haven't tried a MAC mascara as I feel my Drugstore ones do the job perfectly but this one maybe one I try

ReplyDeleteoh im so sad i wasnt able to get any products from the new riri collection. everything was sold out in my country on its first day of release. some people buy everything and resell them for much higher prices. i hope i can get a hold of these on december i heard they are releasing another batch. thank you for the review! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of your lipstick!

I've never tried a Mac mascara. Its odd how some companies are known for some products but you would never use some of their other products.

This colour of lipstick really suits you Fleur! Really glad that you shared this with us because i am really looking forward to popping into mac! I think that this mascara is really lengthening and i am looking for a new one but currently hooked on lancome hypnose doll eyes! Seems to me its not clumpy at all which is always fab.
ReplyDeleteHope you are loving married life,

ReplyDeleteI loved the RIRI collection as well! It had been ages since I had purchased anything other than makeup remover from MAC, but the pretty packaging and gorgeous red brought me back to MAC with a vengeance.
ReplyDeleteMan as much as I love mac products I find all the packing for the new riri collection racky, annoyingly this mascara sounds amazing god dammit hehe xx Emmi

This mascara sounds great! You are right- It's really hard to find a mascara that adds volume, length and definition.

Sounds awesome! I've never tried a MAC mascara but this one sounds like a winner!
ReplyDeleteMaddy @ www.BeautyBanterBlog.com
I will definitely give this a try! x
ReplyDeletehttp://sparksofserenity.blogspot.co.uk/
The price for it is not actually that bad at all considering it's a MAC brand and the reviews are great. Also, the price for Maybelline mascaras are reaching around £12 in some cases, so this is great!
ReplyDeleteI did a post on my favourite mascara here: http://berrybloomxo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/want-millions-of-lashes-mascara-review.html
Maybe if I try out this one it might change my mind, and Fleurs lashes look stunning!

wow your lashes look amazing with that mascara ... not sure if it will have the same effect on my short and straight lashes but I guess I have to give it a go ;)

ReplyDeleteOh that sounds so nice! And I like how MAC mascaras are reasonable priced compared to other high end ones! The lip colour your are wearing here is lovely too, what is it?

This looks like a really nice mascara which is surprising because I've heard so many negative things about the mascaras in MAC's other ranges.

I'm not one to wear mascara, partly because I I can't put it one without smudging it or poking myself in the eye, but this has got ne me interested and I might just give it a go.

Sounds great! Wish I had bought it now!

This sounds perfect! I've never been one to indulge in more expensive mascaras since I feel like there are plenty of "drugstore" mascaras out there which are amazing. May have to keep a look out for this when the collection comes out here. Australia is always so slow! xo Jess

I don't know why but I always stay away from MAC mascaras! They do repackage their permanent line a lot for L.E collections which annoys me a bit. I'm not quite tempted enough to buy this but I will take a better look at the mascaras next time I'm in MAC.

I've found MAC mascaras to be AWFUL in the past, maybe it's time for a revival. I hope so out of everything I find their mascaras let them down so if that do that well then they've got the full package! xxx
