£20?! Why? I mean it’s nice enough but for £20 I could get almost 4 other mascaras that are, let’s be honest, equally as nice! Enough ranting and onto the review. The wand is a curved affair aimed at curling your lashes. I don’t think this idea works personally though I do find the formula itself doesn’t drag down any curl I’ve managed to coax my lashes into with a curler.
It’s a fairly black formula too and provide quite a lot of thickness. As a result of the thickening effect I do find it can get a little clumpy. It provides a bit of length too so it’s a fairly good all-rounder. The girl at the counter told me that whilst it isn’t a waterproof mascara the ingredients that are supposed to make it curl your lashes do make it a little bit waterproof. To its credit I haven’t found that it flakes or melts on me at all though I wouldn’t go so far as to say it actually is waterproof. Here is a picture of some naked lashes:
And some with mascara:
I know, I’m being biased. It’s just that for that price I was expecting the most amazing mascara I’d ever used and this is just nice. Nice doesn’t cut it for £20. Of course on your lashes it may well be amazing as mascara is one of those funny products that acts differently on everyone. Let’s face it, my lashes are rubbish...

really effective..I want to buy it soon.
ReplyDeleteI think your lashes are lovely and thick! Not the longest lashes ever, (boys always have looooong lashes, such a waste!) but lovely and thick :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam :-) I've got plenty. It's the lack of curling ability and the length that's frustrating at times. I'm trying out the L'Oreal Lash Serum and I think it's helping a little. Something like RapidLash might be next on the cards... x
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Your lashes are so not rubbish. I got to the first picture and thought that was the one with mascara on. You have thick and lovely lashes. I'm quite jealous, mine are truly rubbish! ;P
ReplyDeleteI agree with you totally on the mascara price. With my weedy lashes throwing money at them isn't going to make much difference. I have only ever come across a couple of formulas that actually work on me. Having said all that, I'm quite keen on trying the Hypnose precious cells that is supposed to improve your lashes. If that actually works, I might break my cheap only rule!
Aw cheers m'dear :-) Personally I'd rather spend the pennies on a lash boosting serum (i'm thinking of buying one soonish) x
