Frost Mascara Special

We reviewed four inexpensive mascaras, because looking great doesn’t always have to be expensive.

mascara reviewGeorge Volume Lash Mascara

This was a little runny the first time we used it but afterwards was fine. The one we tried wasn’t waterproof and by the end of the day we had panda eyes. It only costs £3.50 and is good for the price. Available from ASDA

2True Pro WOW Mascara

This mascara is not just excellent for the price, but is just excellent full stop. The waterproof version was on Watchdog for being good. We tried the non-waterproof one. It gives supercharged volume and an amazing WOW effect. It doesn’t clump or flake. Good stuff.  Available from Superdrug for only £3.

Pur Big Look Extreme Mascara Waterproof

This mascara is very different. It is made with Argan Oil, a revolutionary ingredient, loaded with lash-loving omega fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidant. It says it has a clump-resistant wand but when we put it on the first time it was quite clumpy and awkward. It is waterproof but doesn’t seem smudge-proof when you first put it on. It is fine after a while though, so just don’t touch your eyes.

George Volume Lash

This is a brilliant mascara. It only costs about £2.50 and it is as good as very expensive mascara brands. It coats mascara from root to tip and gives great volume. It is clump free and very black. We’re a fan.

AlunaGeorge to release new single in June | Music News

 

Hotly-tipped British duo AlunaGeorge have announced that their new single, ‘You Know You Like It’, is out on June 11th, via Tri Angle Records, just a month before they take to the stage at this year’s Wireless Festival. The band, who describe their sound as “taking the boom and glitch of British bass culture and allying it to the slick sweetness of classic American SWV or Destiny’s Child-style R&B”, are comprised of Aluna Francis and George Reid. The single will be their first on Tri Angle records, home to oOoOO, Holy Other and Evian Christ.

‘You Know You Like It’, is out on June 11th, via Tri Angle Records. Catch them on tour in the UK in May and June.
