Beauty Stat - For the beauty obsessed who demand the facts not fiction.

Lately there have been so many new mascara launches. And even when we find one we love, we can’t resist trying a new one. As you know, we did before & after photos of Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes mascara, L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara as well as the Maybelline Illegal Length Fiber Extensions mascara.

We recently got our hands on the new CoverGirl Lashblast 24hr Mascara. This is a a perfect name for this product, cause it does just that. Gives a BLAST of pigment to make your lashes bold and beautiful. …

As of late, I am loving the Maybelline Mascara family.  I’m sure you’ve seen our before/ after photos of our faves like the Maybelline Falsies Volum’ Express Falsies Mascara as well as the Maybelline One By One Mascara.

 
The newest edition, Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara, is no exception.  From the brush to the packaging, I’m a fan.
I have small lashes and tiny eyes so I am always looking for the best of the best to bring out the bang in my eyes! This mascara claims to use fiber-extension technology which results …

At the end of each year, we do a round-up of the best of the best beauty products.  In 2010, we saw so many great makeup launches and 2011 was no different. We test drove hundreds of makeup and cosmetic products. And below are what we consider best in show:
FOUNDATION: Bobbi Brown’s Skin Foundation Mineral Makeup SPF 15. A lot of other name brands that we have tried, tended to leave our skin looking dry in patches and dull. This new formula provides translucency and also shine free coverage.

The formula in …

As far as makeup goes, we think Wet n Wild offers some of the best values you can find. We recently got a sample of their Mega Length Mascara and we were very excited to try it.

The company states that in testing, 85% of consumers saw length improvement. For lavishly long and perfectly defined lashes, this lengthening formula visibly lifts for clump-free, lash-by-lash definition. Ophthalmologist-tested.
Well, that sounds great but we had to see for ourselves.  We gave it to our expert product evaluator, Antonella, and this is what she said.
“I remember …

As you know, we are big fans of Arbonne. We love that the brand is vegan-certified and their products are never derived from animals nor are they tested on animals.  And if that weren’t enough, they use renewable sources in their paper packaging.  They are well known for their skincare products but lately they have been launching more makeup items like their Lipsticks and Lip Polishes that we’ve reviewed and approved.

Arbonne introduces the newly-reformulated Triple Action Mascara that now contains peptides, goji berry, algae extract along with other botanicals that …

We’ve had a few contests on BeautyStat to date, and love to see your beautiful faces. No, we really mean it! By now, we’re so grateful for the participation levels in our recent HTC HD7 Windows Phone contest and, of course, our first makeup contest.

We’ve reviewed several mascaras over the past year, and it seems that this category is producing more and more blockbusters by the minute. I own at least 30 mascaras…are you as obsessed?
Our latest find is L’Oreal’s Voluminous Million Lashes mascara. This mascara stands out because of its innovative millionizer brush that makes your lashes look like a fringe benefit. The effect of this mascara is thick, voluminous lashes. Take a peek at our before/after (our model’s left eye is with mascara; right eye is bare). She is wearing the shade Black …

 
The new Revlon CustomEyes offerings are all about versatility and color …just in time for spring. The CustomEyes eye palette is meant to be customized in shades that are tailored for YOU. The mascara comes in a regular and waterproof version and is also completely customizable.
Here, I’m wearing the CustomEyes mascara on my right eye, and zero mascara on my left eye — you can see how well the mascara does a great job as a lash separator and a lengthener. The genius of this brush is that it is adjustable …
