When I found this on sale at The Warehouse, I was super excited to try it as all my friends were raving about it.
The packaging is good and sleek, and the brush clicker setting is a really good concept but it just didn't work for me. Plus, the brush moving shape slightly doesn't even make a difference to my lashes... oh well.
The brush on this picks up waaay too much product and when I blink goes all over my eyelids and under my eyes too. It ended up clumping and taking me about 20 minutes to do my mascara which made me late.
As for lasting time, it wasn't too bad over the course of the day and it had minimal smudging which was the only thing I was impressed with.
I still use the brush of this clean to comb through my lashes, but I tossed the actual mascara itself.
I definitely won't be getting this again, there are other similarly priced mascaras out there that do a MUCH better job for me.
This mascara is the perfect base to layer on multiple coats of another mascara to add what it lacks; volume and length. Don't get me wrong I like this product but maybe it should have been marketed differently because I can't see length and I only just get a glimpse of the drama and definition but $35 worth of it? Nope.
It's quite a slender tube compared to all the jumbo ones we get these days but I like that in a mascara. It has adjustable bristles which are short, hard and nicely spaced which I like because it helps separates my lashes.
I care very little for the "customeyes" gimmick of the product I don't see any difference when using one setting over the other (setting 1: length/drama setting 2: length/definition). Personally it's hard to spot the difference in bristle lengths once the wand is covered in mascara. Having said that unlike a number of gimmicks I've come across it was easy to switch settings - no nail breaking teeth jerking episodes for me!
What I like is the lightweight formula which goes on quite wet and dries down to a gorgeous jet black. Even though I get no volume or length I love that it sets the foundation to add multiple layers of a mascara that will add volume and length. I can apply 3 coats with barely any clumps and anyone who loves mascara can appreciate that.
I would recommend this to anyone wanting a natural look but seriously don't pay full price. I bought mine off of NZSale for $5.
