I’ve seen this mascara spammed like there is no tomorrow by Revlon in shops and magazines, and since I was in the market to purchase a new Revlon ColorStay Foundation (cause I got the colour wrong the first time around), I figured I’d throw in an additional product and qualify for the free gift set at David Jones, which included this mascara 🙂
I’ll give you the complimentary sandwich review (watch Family Guy if you don’t get this reference!). It’s a good overall mascara. It makes me lashes look thicker and longer and it lasts all day without smudging.
But in a market where there are plenty of mascaras that already do all that, given the hype I was expecting this product to at least WOW me in some way. But nope, it’s just a generally good all round mascara, without any wow factor. Disappointing given how much advertising has been pumped into this mascara.
And whilst it did lengthened my lashes, they didn’t make them as long as I personally would have liked them to be. As for volume, unless you’re a mascara ninja, you may need to blot the brush before application, else say hi to clumps.
One thing I will point out that I did like was the lack of smudging. I wore this for about 12 hours, and it didn’t budge whilst still not being a waterproof mascara (fyi, I really dislike waterproof makeup as I hate using oil based makeup removers), so that is plus in my books. Now if only the formula did something amazing…
Check out Jess’ review on this mascara for a different perspective! 🙂
Edit: I reduced the original rating from 4 stars to 3 stars, just because after using this mascara for a mere 1-2 more weeks, I found the formula slowly starting to become very drying and had to throw it out. I much prefer a mascara that gives the same results that last longer than a total of 4-5 weeks 🙁
Great review! It’s really interesting that we actually had kind of opposing thoughts on this… I didn’t have any clumping issues, and it totally smudged on me! Lol
Thanks! Wow, I just went to read your review~ It is weird, I wonder if it has anything to do with application or skin type~ Hmm… I’d actually really love to discuss this with you on Saturday =D It’s so so cute that we still ended up on the same rating though! 🙂 Psst, Covergirl’s Lash Blast is still my fav too!
I hope you don’t mind if I link your review, I think it would be awesome for readers to get comments from a different perspective.
it looks disgusting,I’m sorry but that mascara doesn’t make your eyelashes long enough.
“Disgusting” is a pretty rude comment, and yeah, if you read the review I said it didn’t make my lashes and long as I’d like them to be 😛
