Maybelline Full 'n Soft vs Eyeko Mascara

Eyeko Big Eyes has been a favourite mascara for a good while now. When I got Maybelline's Full 'n Soft Waterproof Mascara from winning Kellie's giveaway I decided to see if it could take my favourite's place.

While I'm a fan of both, there's still a favourite in my mind. I would wear them each for different purposes.

What I say:

I would consider Maybelline Full 'n Soft to be the more natural of the two, the classic daytime look; it feels like "lashes" while Eyeko, although not hard, buy if applied too thickly can have that "spindle-effect". You can't apply more than one coat of Eyeko, as your lashes become slightly brittle.

Maybelline Full 'n Soft has a larger brush and therefore I find it harder to coat the inner smaller lashes, whereas the Eyeko mascara is perfect at this. I prefer smaller wands as I feel I have more control and can get into those hard-to-reach places. DiorShow was a nightmare! One swipe and you're ready to go! With the Maybelline mascara you need to build up the coats to achieve anything near what you get with Eyeko.

Maybelline doesn't have the va-voom factor that Eyeko does at all. Its a very sedate mascara, while Eyeko is probably more of a night-time one.

Feck it, wear it during the day too, you've nothing to lose! Eyeko wins!
