Thanks to BR for this trial :) Right off the bat let me say I am SO fussy when it comes to Mascaras, it literally needs to tick every single box for me to make it a staple - or I don't bother. Lets say I am up for trying mascaras and am on the look out for something affordable but does the jobs.
I have quite a few musts which include it must give me a natural look, it extends my lashes but not too much, easy to apply, I prefer waterproof but if its not I need to know it won't smudge under my eyes, easy to remove, doesn't clump.. OK thats alot!
This one claims to give intense extra black volume, spectacular long lashes, pleasure to apply and suited for sensitive eyes.
I like to test a product out before reading the claims to get my own thoughts on the product without any other influence and the things I noticed instantly was that yes it was easy and felt "nice" to apply, I noticed how my eyes weren't sensitive to the product and noticed it gave me a really natural look. I see on the box it has gentle oils in the ingredients.
Though it gave me a natural look, it wasn't intense as claimed on the packaging. It didn't extend my lashes too much either, I had to go over my lashes about 5times to get length.
Unfortunately I won't use this again as only after a couple of hours it left black marks under my eyes (which to me is the #1 box it must not do), it did this too on application of one layer. I noticed too that it was quite difficult to remove off my eyes with makeup oil and micellar water - my skin felt pulled from trying to remove it. Even after removal I had marks under my eyes when I woke up in the morning.
Sorry guys won't be using this one again!
First impressions - I love the rose gold gold case, very cute packaging! I found the brush to be quite thick (I prefer curved mascara brushes myself) and as a result it was hard to get super close to the lash line. The brush collects a fair bit of product which I found I had to wipe against the top of the container before using otherwise there was too much. The mascara is a thick consistency so I had to be careful not too apply too much otherwise the lashes clump together. I like to layer mascara for a more dramatic look but I think layering too much of this product would leave me with spider lashes! But the end result was fine - my lashes look perfectly nice. I did notice a little bit of smudging underneath my eyes throughout the day, so it is not totally smudge proof.
All in all I’ll continue to use this product until it runs out but I wouldn’t be in a rush to purchase it again.
Tips: Wipe off excess product on a tissue on against the container before using
