I have a sample sized tube of this mascara, i bought it with a bronzer mini off trademe. I've heard so many differing opinions about it. Some people love it and others hate it. I love too faced in general though so it was something I really wanted to try. To claim something is better than sex is a rather extreme statement. Maybe it depends on what type of Sex? I don't know but I best not go off on a Tangent!
This mascara comes in a pretty metallic pink tube. I'm pretty much always sold on pink items so that is definitely a plus for me.
The mascara wand is enormous and hour glass shaped. There's pluses to it being so big, in that it will be build volume faster but cons are not getting the teeny lashes and I always make a mess on my eyelid. Anyway, the formula is on the drier side which I prefer and it's a very black formula.
The first time I used this, I fell in love. With hardly any effort, I had really long and full lashes. I have stumpy lashes so it usually takes forever to build up half decent ones. The big downside for me though is wear time. This flaked so badly on me after only a few hours and also transferred on my upper eye area too. I've used this heaps since then but the same thing has happened every time.
I think this would be good if you only needed amazing lashes for a few hours. I honestly love the effect so it breaks my heart that it doesn't last. Just as I'm writing this, I'm wondering if there is a waterproof version because that would hopefully be longer lasting! Anyway, I'll use the rest of my tube but I can't see myself buying this again.
I had heard SO many mixed reviews on this product, there is some real hype over this one! To be really honest I didn't expect this to live up to my expectations! So I bought a deluxe sample size to try when i was purchasing some other items.
Well I love this mascara! I'm kicking myself for only ordering a deluxe sample size, I will definitely being getting another when I run out.
I love the frosted pink packaging, it's super cute and still sophisticated.
I LOVE the big hourglass brush, I find it applies the product really well and has good coverage. The formula glides on really easily and I find it great for building up. I have had no crumbling or fallout. I have also had no smudging!
There do seem to be mixed reviews on this one, but for me it ticks all the boxes! I love the packaging, the formula is easy to apply, it builds up my 'barely there' lashes easily and is really pigmented black!
My only wish is that it lasted a little longer.. the trade off here though is that it is a beautiful light formula.
