I have questions about the Dior Show Mascara. Is it waterproof? Is the brush really large and full? I have very small eyes and if I use a large full brush, I tend to make a mess.

I have found a brush I love but the formula isn't right. When I find the formula I love the brush isn't right.

I just spent $25 on Lorac mascara. Formula is wonderful but the brush is huge and I make a mess with it.

I bought Cover Girl Lash Exact and the brush is terrific. It's a tiny little comb brush but the formula makes my eyes itch.

I just bought the new one from Lancome called Fatale. I bought this because of the brush having three little combs on it but the formula flakes and irritates my eyes.

I am definitely mascara challenged and would like to try the Dior. I have spent so much money in the past 6 months on mascara. HELP ME PLEASE! :)
 
Hi piperlu - I believe that they do do a waterproof version of Diorshow but I have never used it so cannot say whether it is as good as the normal one. Yes the brush is reall large and full, I thought I would make a mess when I saw it too but I haven't yet and I have been using it for over 2 years now (not the same one obviously)

I love Diorshow and everyone who I have introduced to it love it too. My boyfriend always says to me how much he likes it and how my eyelashes don't clump together like most other girls - and he never notices anything!!!

I use DiorShow waterproof and I think it's great. It's a full brush and the formula doesn't clump at all. I posted an image of the brush for someone else in this thread...
 
Hi!!!

I bought Dior Show today at Sephora!!!:yahoo: I wanted to buy the black in waterproof but they only had the regular not waterproof left. They did have brown and blue waterproof- but I wanted black.

Anyway, I bought it but I haven't tried it yet! I will in the morning! I also got the Shu Uemura eyelash curler and Sephora make-up remover- they said this make-up remover was the best- they claim they sell out right away but just got stock (plus it's $8.50- so great deal).

I will let you know what I think tomorrow! Thanks everyone!:heart: I'm always looking for great mascara!

Hope you'll like it! I had my Shu Uemura eyelash curler for a few years now and it's still working great. Just remember to switch out the rubber thingy every few months for better curls. Let me know what you think about DiorShow. If you want the waterproof formula, try Nordstroms (I discovered they had the waterproof and bought 2 at once to stock up).

:smile1: Another recommendation for eye makeup remover is the one by Kiehl's. It's very gentle and gets rid of the very strong waterproof DiorShow. I use it everyday and it's ~$15 a bottle (lasts a long time!).
 
Thanks CATMANDOO. I believe I am going to give it a try.

Also, I just found out that you can get a deluxe sample of it on Sephora's website with the code DIORSHOW. So, I'll order something I need, get my 3 free samples, plus the deluxe sample of DIORSHOW.

I'm anxious to try it and I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for the tips.
 
My favorite was DiorShow but I got a sample of the new Chanel mascara and my eyelashes have much more volume! :yahoo:

My lashes are pretty long and the Dhir was great with no clumping, but the Chanel one gives a much more dramatic look for me. The brush is weird but works surprisingly well.
 
Hmm...why do people buy waterproof unless they are expecting to swim or exercise (or cry) I mean I can see why you would want one you can use whether you will need the waterproof or not, but isn't it harder to remove? And in the long run, will it make your lashes sparser due to the wear and tear of trying to clean it off? Any ideas?

And Tammy D: Where can I get Kesalan Patharan in HK?
 
LOL I'm so bad, when it comes to mascara I use whatever samples I get, so its usually from Clinque, but the samples are usually their newest stuff, so I don't mind lol. So everyone is raving about DIORSHOW and BADGIRL? I would love to buy them, but I don't know if I should put down that much when I scrape off the mascara and then blot the tip when I put it on, If I just brush it on, it's too much since I have black, long, and sort of thick lashes, (allergies and contact wearing would cause me to rub my eyes and I lost many lashes that way)
