Duped the Dior

Can you tell which eye is wearing Diorshow?

Hello lovelies! Finding a suitable drugstore replacement for the beloved Diorshow mascara has been incredibly difficult. I hated the product myself and had to force myself to wear it to get an idea of the formula. After considering several different mascaras I've decide that the one most like the Dior is the Cover Girl Flamed Out mascara. Funny enough, I don't like that one either. By the way, Dior is on my right eye.

Even though I don't care for this Cover Girl mascara, I still think it's better than the Diorshow. It lengthens and volumizes where the Diorshow only separates and provides a tiny bit of volume. The main difference between the two is the Cover Girl is a wetter formula so I recommend wiping the sides of the brush off before application.

I think one of the main draws to the Diorshow mascara is the big fluffy brush. This type of wand is meant to catch the lashes and build volume from root to tip. The Cover Girl mascara also has a big fluffy wand but it has an hour glass shape to it. I can't think of any other mascara wand that is shaped in this way, but it helps you get into the corners of your eye and catch all the lashes.

Here's a close up comparison of the two for you. Diorshow retails for $25 and the Cover Girl Flamed Out is $7.99.
