I was so fortunate to receive this in the 'ball season' BBBE. I'm so bad, verrrry bad, I already have a couple of mascaras open and on the go but I opened this as soon as I received the box. I think I wanted to know if it really could give the butterfly wing effect, I mean come on could it REALLY?
Packaging wise this comes in a larger than needed box, but the colours of metallic green and purple look pretty and very appealing. The packaging of mascara tube is funky in a mirrored silver finish.
I open the tube the be greeted by a smell, a familiar kind of smell, it's the Natio brand scent that I dislike, it's like an aloe Vera/perfume kind of scent. It's quite strong but I'm still interested to see this brush. I am then looking at the brush, rubber looking bristles that a long for the 1st third of the wand and the rest look very short and stubby. It is sort of curved and it is making me wonder how it's going to 'flutter' my lashes.
I start applying to my top lashes and I do notice my lashes spread out and give that butterfly wing effect, I really didn't think it would work but it did. The formula of the mascara is very wet I find it takes quite a while for it to dry. So I try my best not to look up or down so I'm not getting mascara around my eye. I apply 2 coats and it gives good length and makes my lashes look thick.
I love this mascara for something a bit different than the usual. I love how this product does live up to its claim, I was very sceptical at first. Since I received this I haven't reached for any other mascaras and would probably repurchase again.
This is definitely one of my favorite mascaras so far that I have used that is affordable and not too priced for what it offers.
It definitely gives a very strong, dramatic look making your eyelashes look longer thicker, darker and fuller. It also lasts for most of the day where eyelashes don't look so tired and flat.
Tips: Don't apply too much as after a while when ithe mascara dries out it looks too thick and eyelashes stick together. Apply 2 coats fairly quickly to achieve the desired look.
