First impressions. The wand has a slight curve in the centre which made the application a breeze!
It added a nice subtle curl to my lashes as I was layering the product. I did two coats on each lash and the build up was lovely! My lashes actually touch my eyebrows when I look up (I do already had longer natural lashes) but this mascara just adds a gorgeous amount of length and volume to my lashes.
I did find that this mascara was slightly clumpy so I tried to go in with a different applicator to brush and separate the lash clumps but the mascara had already set so it made it difficult to do so. So the next day I tried it again and I wiped the excess mascara off onto the rim of the tube (I do it this way so that when you put the wand back in, it picks up the excess stuff on the side so there is no wastage) and I was immediately impressed with the application. It wasn’t clumpy at all and it actually made my lashes look like they were natural looking extensions! I have never had that with a mascara before so I was very impressed.
Overall it’s such a nice smudge proof mascara. Definitely an 8-10 for me! It’s so easy to remove and didn’t leave me with panda looking eyes after my shower like all of my other mascaras do on my lazy eye make up remover days.
I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this. So far I've found it to be pretty good - The colour is a nice dark black, it removes easily without too much rubbing which I like and it's quite buildable for those of us who like to apply more than one coat. The wand has been pretty good at picking up all my lashes, even the ones in my outer corner that usually give me a bit of trouble. The one thing I don't like about it, and it wasn't until I got it out of the packaging and put it on my vanity, is that it looks like a tampon. It's a really silly thing to be put off but I just don't like that aspect of this product. I have suffered no eye irritation or product flaking off my lashes with this which is another point in its favour. I would purchase again depending on what price I could get it for.
