I got a deluxe sample of this when I ordered some Clinique skincare. I hadn't tried any Clinique mascara so before so was excited to give this a go.
The packaging is sophisticated as it comes in an emerald green tube. It isn't something that would catch my eye on a shelf but it looks nice. The brush is a traditional wand.
My first thought when applying this was that the formula is really wet. I was concerned that it would get all over my eyelids but it didn't (and hasn't since). Once you get over the feeling of a super wet mascara it's fine. It doesn't take long to dry and doesn't leave your lashes looking clumpy or spidery.
In fact, that is what I love so much about this mascara. I have naturally long and thick lashes, so most mascara clump them together and make them look like one giant lash. I love the look of splayed out lashes and this is does that for me. It's like it coats each lash individually and separates them. I love how fanned out my lashes look when using this.
If you're someone that likes your lashes to look more voluminous, then I don't think this is right for you. This definitely gives length but not so much volume.
I love this mascara and will definitely be purchasing it once my no spend is over.
I absolutely love this mascara. I first received it as part of the Clinique bonus time set and fell in love. It does exactly what it says - gives you noticeably lash definition but minus the clumping like many similar mascaras leave you with. It's also noticeable yet not fake looking if that makes sense - a more natural definition.Would highly recommend for both day and night.
Tips: One coat for day and double up for evening out. Also recommend using Clinique Take the day off cleansing balm or makeup remover for lids,lashes and lips. Either will remove all traces of this mascara.
