Nice mascara if you like a brush with a curve
I got to test Make UP Store's Effortless Expert Curl Mascara My eyes are big and my lashes are relatively long and naturally dark, so I like a slightly thick rubber brush that can grip my lashes. I also have slightly sensitive skin, so I have to be careful with products around my eyes. My favorite brush when it comes to mascara is Max Factor's False Lash Effect Mascara 01 Black, because it is thickest in the middle, so I was excited to see if this brush would convince me. I used an eyelash curler before applying the mascara. Fortunately for me, this is a nice rubber brush, though possibly with slightly short bristles. I can't quite get all the lashes due to the curve of the brush. I haven't always fully understood curved mascaras. I have to target different parts of the lashes and work it in a bit, but the brush is nice and it doesn't clump. All in all: 👍Good color 👍Rubber brush (suits me best) 👍No clumps 👍Stays on all day 👍Doesn't flake down onto the face throughout the day 👎Not quite the right shape of the brush for my lashes To the extent that I didn't like the product, it was due to the curve, which is subjective, so I think others might like this mascara depending on what you prefer. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #MAKEUPSTORETranslated from norwegian

Good mascara, difficult brush (for me)
I have tested Make UP Store's Magnified Master Volume Mascara Black. My eyes are big and my lashes are relatively long to begin with, and naturally dark, so I like a slightly thick rubber brush that can grip my lashes. I also have slightly sensitive skin, so I have to be careful with products around my eyes. My favorite brush when it comes to mascara is Max Factor's False Lash Effect Mascara 01 Black, so I was excited to see if this brush would convince me. I used an eyelash curler before applying the mascara. The brush is not a rubber brush. I don't quite know what the right description would be, but it reminds me a bit of the bristles on a toothbrush. A bit hard plastic bristles, you could say. From experience, it tends to clump a bit. The brush reminded me a bit of Lavera Lash to Impress Mascara Black, which I have written a review on before. There is a lot of product on the brush, so you have to work a bit with it to prevent clumping or sticking my lashes together. All in all: 👍Good color 👍No clumps 👍Stays on all day 👍Doesn't flake down onto my face throughout the day 👎Not quite the right brush for my lashes 👎Needs a bit of work to get rid of clumps or hairs that stick together To the extent that I didn't like the product, this was more subjective, so I think others might like this mascara well. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #MAKEUPSTORETranslated from norwegian

Not ideal for thin hair strands
I have tested the Volumaster Pro. My hair is quite thick and long, even though the actual hair strands are quite thin. The device itself is very user-friendly and easy to understand. You can lock it with a button on the back so that it doesn't stay open. And then there is an on and off button. The idea is that you should "crimp" the hair underneath to raise the volume on top. The wave on the device is such that you should use the largest "wave" closest to the scalp. It comes with a small instruction on the device. I think this device could work well for someone with slightly thicker hair strands because on me, it shows very well that I have crimped the hair underneath. I took a section and held it for 2 seconds as explained. My hair held the crimp incredibly well! But I don't know if I think the volume got much bigger. I tried to comb over the hair afterwards as recommended, but the crimp sat so incredibly well in my hair. I had to go over it with a straightener to calm down some parts, but incredibly, my straightener couldn't help me. The pattern sat well, both good and bad. I tried to start even lower on the other side so that the crimp wouldn't show, but then I didn't get much volume either. It was a strange balancing act on my hair. I probably won't use this device much, but that doesn't mean I don't think others could get good use out of it. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJÖRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL #VOLUMASTERPROTranslated from norwegian

Warm coarse brush for shorter hair
I have tested HBO Nordica, Magic Style Brush PRO 45mm. My hair is both long and quite thick, even though the actual hair strands are quite fine and soft. I also have natural waves and a bit of curls. I have also cut my hair myself in layers to lighten how it falls. It is probably a bit worn at the ends in some places. My first thought is that the product is quite user-friendly. There is a power button and a temperature button where you choose between level 1 or 2. I used level 2. I thought that warm air would come through the device because it resembles many other devices that are like this, but it does not do that at all. After the shower, my hair is quite difficult to comb due to the length and many tangles, so I usually let it air dry to preserve the strength in the hair strands (as it is not recommended to comb wet hair). Otherwise, I use hair dryers/an air styler if I want it styled and dried quickly. It quickly takes an hour or two if I want to do all my hair, so here I have only tested on some parts of the hair. 👍 Long cable, rotatable end that prevents the cable from tangling 👍 Hair does not become static 👍 Heats up quickly 👍 It is quiet 👍 Best for shorter hair with thicker hair strands 👎 Does not dry the hair, no air 👎 No storage bag included 👎 A bit too coarse a brush for hair strands that are very fine and tangle easily. For my hair type, I would probably rather recommend Babyliss's Air Styler where the brush is much gentler/softer. I have written a review on that before. In short, I would say that it is a very nice device for someone who has a bit shorter hair that does not tangle so easily. You get very nice soft ends, and especially if you have cut your hair in layers. Then it lays nicely down. You need to have a bit of good time and patience for long hair. I may not be the right person for this product. I probably need a hair dryer included in the device, as well as a softer brush due to fine hair strands. But if you know what you are looking for, this is definitely a nice brush for the right hair type. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJÖRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOLTranslated from norwegian
