Lashem™ Double Trouble Mascara

Double Trouble Mascara promises to create the illusion of bigger, bolder, beautiful lashes that go the distance.


Name: Lashem™ Double Trouble Mascara
Price: US$ 19.99 for 6 ml
Made in: USA

How to use:
Apply the volumizing black mascara first, and then finish with the lengthening fiber black mascara. (Source: lashem.com/)

The wands come out from the tube without much product on them. There were not any messy gobs on the wands except on the tip of the lengthening wand. I was pleased yet concerned that the formulas would be too dry but this is not the case at all. There was sufficient product on the wands for a smooth and fuss free application.

Both formulas do not clump whatsoever even after a few layers. I am also very chuffed to report that they don't make the lashes feel stiff or crunchy after they dry. My one and only caveat: they don't hold a curl well even after some gentle curling after applying mascara.

I am going to address the wands and effects separately.
1) Volumizing
Comes with a flexible wand. It does not really provide much volumization but it does lengthen my lashes.


2) Lengthening
The stubby wand was not the best for coating my sparse lashes, I had to be really careful against smudging. It did not do much lengthening or volumizing. I can skip this side if I want since it does not make much of a difference in my lashes.


Although I like the volumizing side, this mascara is not really for my puny stick straight lashes. I prefer mascaras that give me the effect mentioned in the promises section (right at the top). However, I do think it would be good for those who are already blessed with long lush lashes because it adds more definition.

Lashem™ Review: Picture Perfect Anti-Wrinkle Cream, 3-in-1 Eye Bright

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul.. as you can see (a pun haha!) it is very important to keep that fragile area in the best condition possible. After all, you would not want your eye bags/circles/lines to be the first thing people notice when they meet you right?

Thanks to Lashem™ I got to try TWO eye creams! Eye creams are notoriously expensive and they can easily cost twice as much compared to the average moisturizer..

Picture Perfect Anti-Wrinkle Cream


Name: Lashem™ Picture Perfect Anti-Wrinkle Cream
Price: US$ 38 for 15 ml
Made in: USA

How to use:
Dab a thin layer on the area around your eyes after your morning cleansing routine. Let dry completely before applying makeup for face creams. Use on a daily basis for a long term effect. (Source: lashem.com/)

This eye cream is infused with vitamins and minerals and nourishes as well as aids in increasing elasticity. It does not seem to do a thing for elasticity, but it is moisturising enough without causing milia.


The formula is runny and it takes some light patting before it absorbs. It wears well under makeup and does not cause foundation or concealer to ball up.

3-in-1 Eye Bright


Name: Lashem™ 3-in-1 Eye Bright
Price: US$ 39.99 for 15 ml
Made in: USA

How to use:
Apply in the evening after your cleansing routine and gently smooth the formula to the area around the eye. Let formula dry completely before bed. (Source: lashem.com/)

It is supposed to de-puff and rejuvenate the appearance of tired eyes for a brighter and refreshed look. The consistency is gel-like, it goes on smoothly and is easily absorbed by the skin.


I didn't notice any significant brightening effect nor a dramatic difference to my under eye area however prolonged usage did help in reducing the appearance of fine lines.

The full ingredient list for 3-in-1 Eye Bright:


These eye creams come with a pump which make them much more hygienic. The only downside to the opaque packaging is that you cannot tell how much product is left in the bottle.


I prefer 3-in-1 Eye Bright because it actually did something and the lighter texture is much more to my liking. I will purchase it after I am done with my current bottle, that is if I do not get distracted by other eye creams in the market.
