Let's dive straight in to it. . I find the packaging itself to be Abit plastic looking - but we all know it's not about what's on the outside it's the inside that matters! . So the brush is quite thick, tapers in a little on the end but nothing dramatic. I found it to be no use really because I still got mascara on my eyelids when trying to get the corners. . I ended up doing 2-3 coats to really get a noticable change (not alot of product sticks to the brush) I had to keep wiggling it between my lashes and really rolling it in. . It does come out clumpy and the more layers the more uneven it starts to get, doesn't curl at all so it kinda reminds me of snuffa luffa giss (that elephant thing off sesame Street haha) his eyelashes long and straight. . Overall: 1- comes out clumpy 2- nice and dark 3- leaves lashes long and straight 4- doesn't curl them 5- doesn't separate lashes 6- thick brush (may get some on eyelids) 7- doesn't smudge
All in all wouldn't get it again but it's ok :)
When first applying this mascara I noticed an immediate change in the length of my lashes, they were noticeably longer, great, it's already doing what it said it would do, however I did notice the formula was a little bit thick which resulted in some minor clumping. I tried the mascara again with just one coat and success, no clumping, but another problem appeared, my lashes were not as defined as I usually like, they looked great for an all natural look however I like my lashes to be a bit darker, so I percivared with the clumps (when I say 'clumps' they were not horrendous, probably only noticiable if you were directly face to face with me, but I could see them every time I saw my own reflection). A few minutes after application I touched by lashes, they felt hard and stiff however as time went on wearing the mascara this eventually dissipated. Over all I think this mascara 100% does what it says it will do, my lashes were definitely longer, I just wish the formula was a little bit smoother. I originally thought this would be a special occasion only mascara, however as it tends to suit a more natural look this may become my everyday office mascara.
Tips: Try to keep application to only one coat as I found a double coat resulted in minor clumps and a little bit of stiffness.
