 Packaging



I really love its beautiful packaging, It comes housed in a sleek silver tube with pretty white little flowers etched on to the tube. Very handy and classic. 

In the mirror of my own experience
As you know my lashes are not thick and very flat so I have always been searching  a good mascara which not only gives some length them but curled them as well. After using this mascara, I noticed that it gave my lashes a good length and volume. It did a fine job of lengthening my lashes. The only grip I found in this mascara was its brush.  



It does not separate out my lashes very well. My lashes were a bit clumped together which I don't like. But if I separate my lashes with my own brush the effect which it gives is good. The best thing of this mascara is its lasting power, it long lasts for about the whole day. Plus the ingredients like ProVitamin B5, Vitamin E, Oat and Wheat protein help to condition and keep lashes healthy. Although not waterproof, it is water and smudge resistant. The shade which I got was Blackberry  a soft, rich violet that (though hard to see on the lashes) is a really very pretty and different shade.

In the mirror of my own experience



I love its fruit scent smell, just after opening, it's so refreshable & sweet. After applying this blush on my cheeks, I really loved its natural and dewy glow which I got after applying it.I love the quality of this blush. It's so pigmented that only a light touch gives a natural glow. The texture is so silky that I enjoy applying. The most important quality is that it's made with completely natural ingredients. So no fear of harmful effects on my skin. It's quite easy to apply. Only one touch to both sides of the cheeks and blend with brush or my own finger tips. The staying power is also good which is hard to find in a cream blush. The interesting thing is that I can apply it on my lips as well and it gives very natural shade there to.

Diana of London Movie magic mascara- review, pics, EOTD

Hi everyone,
As you all know that mascarais the most important part of eye makeup. We apply different types of eyeshadows and define our eyes with a good eye liner or pencil but without mascaraour all efforts to make our eyes beautiful become useless. But sometimes goodmascaras makes our eyes naturally beautiful without using any eyeliner or eyeshadow. So mascara is an essential element of eye makeup. Very few of us aregifted naturally long lashes, most of us need high-quality mascara which cangive a strong volume to our lashes. I have been always searching a fine mascara formy lashes because my lashes are so thin and an ordinary mascara can never be able togive them some volume. I tried many brands but was never satisfied, it seems as if  that now my search is over. After using the new Movie Magic mascarafrom Diana of London, I’m really happy with it's quality and its results. Hey sorry,at first I should introduce you about this mascara, so plz take a look.

This is a very effectivemascara to give high length and volume to the lashes from Diana of London.

Ingredients

Packaging

I love its packaging simple and handy in light green color which looks very pretty & funky!!!

Applicator

I think the applicator is the most important part of a mascara. The Movie Magic mascara has a fine applicator which is just like a comb for the lashes. The brush of applicator is long which is completely able to cover all the lashes in one apply. The brush like applicator helps application as well as combs the lashes.

How to apply

 Starting in the middle of the upper eyelash, apply cosmetic mascara in upward parallel strokes through your top lashes from below the upper lashes combing them upwards, and working your way to the edges. Lightly stroke down the bottom lashes, moving from the inner to the outer corner of the eye & comb lashes from base to tip.

In the mirror of my own experience


To be honest, I had not muchexpectation with its quality because I've never used anything  from this brand before. Thepackaging was also quite simple but funky and did not seem to be like a high brand mascara butafter the first application with its impressive applicator I was highly impressedwith its quality. It did a pretty good job lengthening my invisible flat lashes. It volumizes well and gives a bit of length to my lashes too. I noticed the difference only after one coat of applying. After two coats I was satisfied with my lashes. The staying power of this mascara is also very impressive because on the festival (Eid) day I had applied it at about at 11 am and after the whole day I found it in the same condition. So I got everything in this mascara which one expects from a good mascara.
Good points

Simple but cute packaging.
The applicator which is the most impressive part of this mascara which defines the lashes beautifully and gives a good length. The brush design is such that it separates out the lashes too.
It does a pretty good job of lengthening my invisible flat lashes.
The staying power is really very nice.
It gives volumes and length to the lashes very neatly and give a naturally effect to the eyes. It doesn't look dramatic.
The difference shows clearly only in one coat.
It's not a water proof mascara so gets removed easily.
The price is reasonable to see its quality.




Bad points
Not available everywhere but they are trying to extent their business further & in my opinion they should do it soon as such impressive & affordable products should be available everywhere.
It's not a water proof mascara but they have some other mascaras out of which you can choose a water proof one.
Except this I didn't find any bad point in this product.

Finally....
Finally I can say that I'm highly impressed by this product. It has everything which should be in a good quality mascara. High quality, super effects and reasonable price makes it a very impressive mascara. 

Recommendation
I highly recommend it to my readers and friends. After using it I can say that it's worth  buying again and again.
