ART Deco Extreme Volume Mascara Review

I'm so happy that I picked this goodie up. I'm always excited to try new mascaras to see how they can open up my eye area.

The packaging Is a large black mascara tube. Most of the mascaras I own are quite slim and petite and purchasing this I was amazed how large the tube is.

Every application I am happy with. The mascara separates all my lashes, lengthens them and makes them look fuller and longer. I love how this opens my eyes up and there's never any clumping. I have not encountered any problems with this product and its easy to remove at the end of the day. I'm so pleased I have this in my collection.

This is well worth the money and I will be repurchasing. I recommend this to everyone for amazing lashes.

I was really excited to try this mascara, mascara is one of my all time favourite cosmetic goodies it can do wonders for my eyes – I have quite short eyelashes that are a little on the fairer side (not blonde but you hardly notice them if I have no mascara on). My eyes can be very sensitive (prone to eyelid and eye duct infections if I’m not careful) .

The outer package was nothing particularly special but Im not to worried about this like all good things it’s the inside that counts. To be honest at first look I didn’t really think that the wand on this looked that much different to any other mascara except that it was quite a bit fatter/wider than I was used to using.

This went on perfectly, no clumping, no globs of mascara (my absolute pet peeve with mascara’s), it seemed to coat every lash easily and seemed to define my lashes quite quickly.

First glance it didn’t look that special on my eyes but within seconds my eyelashes seemed to spread and fan out and really plump up I was very impressed with this it really gave my eyelashes good definition. I don’t feel it gave my eyelashes any real length but the volume and spread were enough to make my eyes look open and bright eyed and bushy tailed. I had no iritations or reactions to this so this was another bonus for me.

This did do what it said minus any real length for me but with the defination and magnification for my eyelashes more than kept me happy. I would definitely recommend this to others to try and I will be purchasing this again myself at such a reasonable price.

This Mascara delivered great volume... All my lashes were separated and not clumped together like other mascaras, and the wand was a somewhat easy to use shape but not one i have used before. It was quite a fat wand. But it helped spread the product out and keep the lashes separate at the same time. Removing at the end of the day was easy, it wasn't horrible to come off. The only downfall was that halfway through the day while wearing this it kind of dries and powders and so i had lots of fall out (?) underneath my eyes from it...

I really don't know how i feel about this mascara. Or maybe I do? But I'm so Jekyll & Hyde about it that it's left me confused ...

I'll start at the beginning. I bought the ART Deco Extreme Volume Mascara in the Vault. I have longish lashes, and wear glasses, so I'm not in need of length, but those skinny wee model legs of lashes do require volume - so this looked perfect. Looks? It's a big chunky (voluminous?) tube, with an equally chunky bristly brush, which when you pull it out has globs of mascara stuck to it (I use the lip of the tube to take these off). So does globs on brush = globs on lashes? This is where I get all fence-sitty.

Some days upon application I looooove this product. It does fatten and separate and lift my lashes - and they look beautiful. Other days? Even with taking off globs, the product feels harder to work with, and my lashes end up clumping and spidery, with bits of product sticking to them requiring me to do some fancy comb work. I have wondered if it depends on the temperature. When it's warmer it works better, when it's colder, it doesn't? But that being said, I've never experienced this with another mascara. They've always been a solid performer, or a non-starter, right from the beginning.

On top of that, by the end of the day, SOME days I see it flaking. But only on some days. Not on others. It's so strange!

So do I recommend it? Yes, and no. It's like the girl with the curl on her forehead. When it's good it's very very good, but when it's bad it's kind of horrid. Then again, it's quite pricey, so perhaps I'm erring on the side of no? See, there I go with the Jekyll & Hyde again...
