I really just impulse purchased this when I happened to luck out and be in Sydney while Priceline had their 40% off all makeup special. I'm actually pleasantly surprised.
I have NYX Color Mascara in shade CM01 - Purple/Violet. As I have naturally black lashes I didn't hold out a lot of hope for visible colour, but I was delighted to be proved wrong. A mere couple of coats of this mascara provides a wee pop of purple without it being too much.
What's more, this is actually a reasonable, simple mascara. It's not really lengthening or volumnising - it's not designed to be - but it coats lashes well enough and is completely wearable, just with the cute addition of colour.
Removal is easy enough with the standard methods (I use oil cleanser and it comes off straight away), and i haven't experienced flaking and drying over the day with this - to be fair, i wear it infrequently, and mostly at the weekend though.
The brush is a standard barrel, tapered at both ends, attached to a long wand. It's easy to hold and to use.
I would actually revisit this brand to check out their black mascara having used this one! Quite impressed for the under $10 I paid!
I own this in the shade Blue. The mascara comes packaged in an eye-catching cobalt blue tube with white writing. The tube is very attractive. The wand is quite thick but looks like a standard mascara wand. The mascara is a stunning cobalt blue in colour and it delivers great colour pay-off. Two coats gives me really bold blue lashes without any clumps. I find the mascara to be stunning and I have been getting so many compliments on it since wearing so the colour is definitely noticeable. I find this is a great mascara as well, it doesn't clump and it can easily be built up. It isn't too drying on my lashes and it's quite easy to remove. I also liked how affordable this was. I'll definitely be trying more colours from the range in the future!
