I'm not sure I understand what you're asking about when you ask how large it is. The brush is one of those great mega-wands that get every lash in a single swipe (like what you find with DiorShow, on the size scale, but very different brushes). I hope that helps.

answer 5

it's the usual size, the brush is pretty good sized, bigger than the average, and has more close together bristles. the little trial size is easier to use, the brush itself is kind of long and takes a big of getting used to, but well worth the trial and error

The wand is quite large. When I first used it I wondered how I would wield it, not being used to such a large wand, but right away I saw that it was the best applicator I've used and it's the most separating too.

Buxom lash VS dior

answer 1

Buxom's better than Show. Buxom doesn't provide raccoon eyes (as Show does), and Buxom gets all the way to the roots of each lash, unlike Show.

answer 2

I think it depends on what you want out of your mascara. I like DiorShow because it dries faster, and Buxom stays moist the whole time. Staying a bit gooey gives the eyelashes a less brittle feel, and even a more natural look, BUT I like to use eyelash tools like combs and curlers, and they don't do a good job on moist eyelashes. Buxom lengthens and does a good job at getting every eyelash because of the smaller brush, but doesn't add as much volume or color as DiorShow's thicker brush.

Buxom by far. Used to be a die hard DiorShow fan, but it always dried out too fast, as I was warned it would. Buxom lasts longer and does just as great of a job, if not better!

answer 7

I bought Diorshow after I saw my co-worker's bold and dramatic lashes. Unfortunately, it's not good to use if you have sensitive skin. My eyes started burning and tearing up mid-day and by the end of the day my eyelids were swollen. I bought buxom as a lighter option and I LOVE it. If you're not so sensitive Diorshow is more dramatic, but Buxom is a safer alternative and the brush looks cooler.

I use both of them together. I start with applying the diorshow iconic on first to lengthen and separate. Then I apply the buxom to make my lashes really black.

answer 9

I've tried both Busom and DiorShow, and I'm a bigger fan of Buxom. Dior was too heavy and clumpy. Yeah, it volumized, but that was because there was no separation in the lashes. I like Buxom because it volumizes every single lash, without clumping. But it's something your going to need to see for yourself. Try them both!

I have never bought Dior mascara but I have tried lots of mascaras (and I am very picky with my mascara) and I cant find a flaw in this product so far.

i have both diorshow and buxom mascaras. i prefer diorshow because it give me volume and curl than buxom. plus, diorshow does not smear and flake like the buxom mascara. diorshow stays from morning to nite with no flakes and the texture of diorshow on my lashes feels silky. i would recommended the diorshow since trying both of the mascaras for about 3 months and buxom always give me flakes later on in the evening.

This is way better than DiorShow for me personally. I bought a full size of DiorShow but had to return it due to an eye infection it caused starting with the second day of use.

answer 14

I've used both, and I prefer the Buxom lash. It is a much lighter formula than DiorShow, so it holds a curl better and gives much more definition. The DiorShow is slightly better as far as volume, but I found it to get clumpy very easily. Also, Buxom lash is not nearly as heavily perfumed as the DiorShow.

I love DiorShow mascara and this is equally good, just different. This is a bit more "plasticy" and less oily if that makes sense. I would continue to use Dior for night and this for daytime. It seems to wear a bit longer without flakes or smudging.

It's definitely not waterproof- the only mascara I've found that never smudges is Blinc, but it doesn't provide quite as much volume and intensity as Buxom. I tend to use Blinc for everyday wear, and put on Buxom when I'm going to a party or something because it's more dramatic and I won't need it for quite as long.

I've worn this everyday and have had to walk through a lot of weather to get to classes. A little bit of rain isn't too much of a bother as long as you don't rub your eyes, but I wouldn't expect it to hold up in a storm or while swimming. Wind also gives me some trouble because my eyes tear up pretty badly, but this will just leave little smudges in the corner. The good news is that it you can clean the smudges off pretty easily, and it really doesn't run too horribly. Raccoon eyes is an overstatement.

LOVE this mascara. Please note that the first few times you use a new tube it won't perform well. After a few times it creates long and thick lashes, but at first it is a bit thin like liquid liner. BUT it is well worth it anyways!! I have used every thing from Chanel to Loreal and this is tops. Plus who wants to put something on their eyes that has a warning that it can make you go blind.
