'Bambi' - a product that does what it says

Mascara is the one product I struggle to find 'a good one'. I'm not sure if its my hair type or eyelash shape but they are either too clumpy or don't seem to do anything etc. I've made a large number of bad mascara purchases over the years and wasted a lot of money. As such, I didn't hold out much hope for 'Bambi' but was very pleasantly surprised. For my eyelashes it works brilliantly - makes them nice and long, is so easy to apply and isn't clumpy at all. I like the handle you hold to apply also, its a bit thicker which I think gives you more control.

Bambi Falsh Lash Mascara

The packaging for this product was nice and light which would make it ideal for travelling. It also meant the wand was easy to control and use. The bristle brush was really good at defining lashes. I had NO clumps at all after applying 3 layers of mascara. Despite being a normal non-waterproof mascara, this lasted me pretty much the whole day without the panda eye look I sometimes get due to my oily eyelids. This didn't really lengthen or add volume to my lashes but would make a great low-key work mascara- it's easy to use and I had soft fluttery lashes for a whole day.

Tips: Curl your lashes before applying this mascara, this will open up your eyes more.

Where's the Bambi?

This product, where do I start? I really disliked it. There was no bambi for me. I found the brush to be quite awkward to wield due to the brush shape and the lack of doe-eyed lustre was just disappointing. No matter how much I tried to apply, it didn't seem to do anything for me, no lengthening, no volume, nothing. I even had to apply it as a smear on my hand to see it there was actually any product on the brush.

I think I am just used to more drama with mascara. This product definitely gives more of a reserved natural look...... But I could get the same look without it. I was excited to get it and had high hopes from the description, but sadly I won't be looking for this product in the stores.

A miss for me unfortunately

I've seen the ads for this mascara and the claims sounded promising. Unfortunately this just didn't live up to the hype for me. My lashes are sparse, short-ish and I have oily lids. The formulation isn't humidity proof so I found slight panda eyes by the end of the day. I didn't see much lengthening action either, but I did like that it didn't clump. However I think if you have longer thicker lashes, this might be the mascara for you.

Great product, beautiful lashes

I love trying new mascaras and picked this up through the Beauty Vault.

While 'Bambi Eyes' would be an exaggeration, the L'Oreal Paris Bambi False Lash Mascara does both thicken and lengthen the lashes with a look I really like in a single coat.

The grip on the mascara wand is the perfect size that it's not fiddly and between that and the beautifully designed brush you can really control where you place the mascara on your lashes. The consistency of this product also perfect - not too thick or clumpy, and it stays put for the day without being difficult to remove as it's not a waterproof mascara.

At $31 I think the price of the L'Oreal Paris Bambi False Lash Mascara is quite steep as mascaras go, but I think this one is worth it. There's a lot to like!

A good mascara for a natural look

I'm a huge fan of drugstore mascaras. I have used a few Maybelline and LÓreal ones before in the past and have quite liked them.

This LÓreal mascara is in a classic silver tube. I like that the brush are silicone bristles, my favourite kind of brush.

At first, I thought this mascara was quite thin and didn't do much for my lashes. The brush also got mascara on my upper eyelid, which is annoying when I've just put on eyeshadow.

However, I took care to apply this better without touching my eyelid, and a few coats later, my eyelashes were lovely, fluttery and long.

While I didn't look like I was wearing falsies, it did open up my eyes and made them look separated and long. If you're after a volumising mascara, this isn't it.

Tips: Use a card or tissues to protect your eyelids from mascara as it may get messy.

Black Velvet

L'Oreal Paris False Lash Bambi Eye Mascara in 'Black Velvet' promises a "doe-eye look, eye opening effect."

This mascara is packaged in a shiny silver torpedo-shaped or "D" shaped tube.  The flat, "Bambi Eye False Lash" printed side of the tube does help it to stop rolling off a flat surface, but it kind of ruins the sleek looking effect of this tube.

It contains 8.9mls of mascara, and the wand applicator is bulbous and chunky.  Personally, I'm not a fan of fat, wide mascara applicators.  I do prefer a more classic, slender mascara wand, but that's just personal preference and isn't a bad reflection on this product.

The consistency of the mascara formula is quite thin, so it coats every eyelash individually, without clumping.  I didn't really find that this mascara curled or elongated my lashes as much as other mascaras do, and I definitely didn't end up with a "doe-eyed" effect.

To get a slight 'false lash' effect, I did have to apply one coat of the Bambi Eye mascara to one eye, then apply one coat to the other eye while that coat dried, then go back and apply a second coat of mascara over the first (dried) layer.  Continuing to wait for coats to dry between applications until I had reached the desired look.

Usually I apply numerous coats of mascara to one eye at a time, to prevent the mascara from drying and clumping, but that doesn't work with this one.  Instead, if I keep applying more coats to one eye, I found that the mascara clumped and stuck my lashes together.  It's definitely better to wait for it to dry between coats, with this one.

Personally, I'm not all that impressed, and I get a better effect from a really cheap mascara. I don't like the fat wand, there was no lash curling effect as promised, if anything, it made my lashes stick out more straight than curling them upwards, and it feels like an average mascara that's promising big things.  The only thing that it does have going for it is that the mascara doesn't flake or transfer into 'panda eyes' on the lower lashes during the course of the day.  Once it's on, it stays where you put it. Sadly, that's not enough to make me want to purchase another tube of this when the time comes for me to replace it. 

Tips: Wait for it to dry between coats, and apply more coats until you get the effect you're looking for.

Pleasantly surprised!

I loved the idea of this product from the get-go "Bambi eyes" says it all really?

Now, I am super picky with mascara brushes, I don't have the longest eyelashes, and they're all a bit wonky, so I love a brush that can coat them all, without also clumping them. I was worried when I first pulled the wand out, it was a plastic type brush top, with all even and straight bristles. I haven't had much luck with these type of brushes in the past, so imagine my surprise when my lashes were all evenly coated and lengthy without the clump?!

The first go I had, I didn't put too much on (for fear of clumping) and though the length was a little lacking, however, the second go I did with a heavier makeup look all over, I found I could easily build the length, and also noticed there was no transfer onto my lids (as sometimes happens with you have to push harder to coat lashes).

I think this is a genuinely great mascara, that does what it says, the packaging is fine although I was expecting something a little cuter...'cause you know 'bambi" and all that, but it's really not that important. It's build-able, forgiving and a great formula that I also noticed did not irritate my eyes at all, and I have pretty sensitive eyes at times.

I would happily re-purchase this, and also incorporate it into my everyday makeup I reach for!

Tips: This product is super build-able and simply blinking down onto it will coat your lashes just fine.

Bambi Eye False Lash Mascara

Bambi Eye False Lash Mascara comes in a cardboard box a little longer than the length of the mascara itself. There's a cut out section on the front where you can see the shiny silver mascara through the packaging. It's clearly labelled on the box with font in block letters that reads, DOE-EYE LOOK, EYE OPENING EFFECT. The colour is Black which is stated on the front of the box. 8.9ml is the volume and the formula is Black Velvet. There's an image of an eye with this mascara applied which shows the product's 'False Lash' Mascara look on one side of the box. On the other side of the box, there is a before and an after results images. You can see the difference in the photos. It says underneath the images RESULT: CURLED, ELONGATED & DEFINED LASHES. NO CLUMPS! There's an image of the wide eyed brush on one side of the box and ingredients list and recycle instructions on the back.

I opened the box, twisted the lid off the mascara. It's shiny, bullet shaped with a pointed tip. After a few twists, it came off easy. I applied this False Lash mascara with the wide eyed brush to one of my eyes' lashes first. It went on easy with no clumps. I found the mascara wand easy to use. After a few blinks on the brush, my lashes were defined, longer and did curl a little. I thought it did make my lashes have that false lash look but it wasn't overboard. I applied a light coat to my bottom lashes as well then I looked in the mirror and you could definitely see the difference compared to my eye with no mascara on. I applied Bambi Eye False Lash to my other lashes on my other eye and I was satisfied with the results. It stayed put all day and didn't run or smudge when I sneezed from pollen in the air at the moment.

I left it on all day and took it off in the evening with Garnier Micellar water and Swisspers wipes but before I done so, my lashes were still elongated, curled and clump free at the end of the day. The next day, I wore the mascara again and liked the results. I will continue to use it daily as mascara is a must-have with my daily makeup routine. I like that it makes my lashes look lovely and lush and longer. Without this false lash mascara, I have no lashes. I probably would buy it in the future after trialing this. I had a look at how much these retail for at Farmers, $30.99 at the moment but I think it's worth paying more for a good quality mascara. And who doesn't want eye opening effect and the Doe-eye-look? I noticed my lashes and eyes didn't itch either which is great.

Great product if you want to get that Doe-eyed look and eye opening effect.

Misses the mark

Mascara is my most used beauty product and I'm always looking to try the latest and greatest! My lashes are sparse, short, and extremely straight so mascaras that curl, lengthen AND thicken are what I aim for but 2/3 will usually do the trick - so a mascara promising that it 'curls lash by lash to create bigger, wider, doe-eyed look. Black velvet formula for elongated and defined lashes.' definitely sounded up my alley!

Unfortunately, it didn't deliver on the curl promise at all. The first day I wore it I tried it without my lash curler and was extremely disappointed in the results.

The other days I used my trusty curler first to get something resembling shape out of my lashes... and was still disappointed. While it definitely delivers beautifully on length, it didn't add much in the way of volume at all. My lashes looked lovely and long, but remained very sparse.

If you have naturally thick lashes and use a curler (or they're naturally curly too, you lucky thing you) then I think this formula would be perfect for you to add length and definition. For me, though, it was a real flop as I desperately need a bit more volume from a mascara or for it to at least save me the effort of curling my lashes.
