I've been wanting to try out this mascara since maybe... December last year but I didn't really dare to buy cuz I haven't heard any good reviews about it! Recently I've stumbled upon at least 3 youtube beauty vloggers (here, here and here) talking about it and how much they love it, so I decided to buy it.
First up, the packaging of this mascara has some heavy duty thing going on. It looks super luxe with the whole metallic pink and embossed letterings, which I really enjoy, but it is really heavy! Like I think it weighs maybe 0.2kg? Hahaha. It contains 8.0 ml/0.27 Fl. Oz worth of products and is priced at $32 in Sephora Singapore.
They've been emphasising the hourglass-shaped brush, and honestly, I haven't tried any mascara with an hourglass-shaped brush yet! The brush is quite big but amazingly, it fits nicely on my asian eyes and it's able pull out any of my smaller lashes and coat them with the product. So, I really really enjoy the brush :)
It claims to create 1,944% more volume than our actual lashes. I have to say it really looks pretty damn amazing on the youtube gurus' eyes but since they're caucasian, of course they have longer and fuller lashes. So, I tried it on my eyes and upon the first application, I fell in love!!! My lashes were immediately lengthened and super volumized, I love the deep carbon black colour of the mascara too.
This was my first day applying it and I loved it! I only had 2 coats on. However, as the day goes by, I noticed some smudges on my lower eyelids but I wasn't sure if it was caused by the mascara or my shadows/eyeliner. Also, by the end of the day, my lashes weren't curled anymore!!!!!! Sobbb. But I gave it the benefit of the doubt that my bangs were weighing my lashes down..
So I gave it another try today! This is just a breakdown of how many coats of mascara I can put for it to look nice and not overly clumpy/spider legs-y. The most I'd go is three coats cause with three coats it was getting pretty thick and yet still separated. I didn't want to ruin it by adding a fourth coat since I was very happy with it already :)
I put my mascara on at 10.30a.m. and by 9.30p.m. they are still curled nicely and no smudges on my lower eyelids at all!!! I put my fringe up today so I guess it was most probably my bangs weighing my lashes down previously. Another test I did was with my glasses on, my lashes weren't hitting the glass - it is a good sign that my lashes are still curled. If they're droopy, they will definitely be hitting on my lenses every time I blink! One last thing is that, this mascara is so easy to remove!!!!!! I'm using the L'oreal gentle eye & lip make up remover.
I'm so glad to say that this mascara is worth the splurge, and it didn't disappoint me at all. I love it so much I think it's a definite repurchase for me. I'm a mascara junkie, if I could only pick one make up item to use, I'd pick the mascara! So trust me when I say I have high expectations on my mascaras and all that I love are definitely some pretty good stuff that are worth a try ^.^
Anyone of you tried it yet? What are your thoughts? Do you love it or hate it? Share it with us :)
