Diorshow Maximizer Lash Primer Serum
As much as I love mascara, I’ve never really gotten into lash primers, and the ones I have tried have left me fairly unimpressed. I am a new convert to Diorshow, however, and so I’m wondering if I might also be converted to Diorshow Maximizer, if I were to give it a try.
It goes without saying that this serum contains ingredients designed to encourage lash growth: I mean, what lash product these days DOESN’T claim to do that? But this is also a primer which, it claims, will add instant length and fullness to your lashes, creating the perfect base for your mascara, and giving it even more impact than it would have had without it.
At $28, this is as expensive as many mascaras and good deal more expensive than most, and that’s where it falls down for me: it’d have to create really exceptional results for me to want to double the cost of my mascara application, which means I’m going to sit back and wait for someone else to try it first before I’ll be convinced to splurge on it.
Will that person be you? If it will, click here to buy it from Neiman Marcus.
DiorShow Extase Mascara
You’d think I’d have learned my lesson with Diorshow mascara by now, given that I’ve bought – and been unimpressed with – two different versions off it, but nope, apparently not. Not only did I almost buy ANOTHER tube of it in duty free while I was stuck for 17 hours at Las Palmas airport last month, I also find myself looking at this new version and thinking “Hmmm, I wonder what that’d be like on?”
No! I will not succumb to the lure of Diorshow. Well, no unless someone else tries it first and tells me it’s absolutely amazing, and actually, maybe not even then, to be honest, because the previous incarnations of this have been one of those products I’ve WANTED to like, but which just haven’t really worked out for me.
What’s different about Extase, then? Well, this one contains “Metamorphosis Powders”, which sounds like something out of Harry Potter, to be honest (Seriously, where do they get these names?) but which are designed to expand in size by up to 50% after application. This should, theoretically, mean long, luscious lashes, and it does, indeed contain conditioning agents too, to help repair any damage done by curlers etc. Dior say this can be used either on its own, or on top of your usual mascara, which is probably how I’d use it, being a fan of the “more than one mascara at any given time” technique.
If you’d like to try it out yourself, it costs $28 and is available from www.sephora.com.
