Unfortunately a pretty disappointing mascara from start to finish. The tube is nice enough, but comes with a sticker on the wand handle which is impossible to remove without leaving sticky residue behind - a real pet peeve of mine.
The short bristles made the mascara fairly difficult to apply without getting the whole wand right up in your lash line, resulting in a lot of mascara on my eyelids that needed to be tidied up. While this is absolutely at least partially down to my lack of finesse, I don't have nearly as much trouble with other mascaras, including similar wand styles albeit with longer bristles.
The coverage and effect of the mascara itself was actually quite nice. It was a fairly clump-free formula which was great. Not much curl so definitely use with a curler if you have pin straight lashes like mine, but plenty of definition and not bad length.
However, the absolute failing point that makes me unable to keep using this mascara is how insanely wet the formula is. I applied my mascara 5 minutes before heading out the door to work and it was STILL WET when I got to work an hour later. Because of this it smears EVERYWHERE if you aren't careful. Even when it does seem to be dry, smudging and fallout are a real problem throughout the day.
I usually buy cult favourites of mascara like better than sex or Jeffree star mascara so to try one you can just grab from the chemist or supermarket was awesome. I’m really impressed with this mascara really fans the lashes out while giving length and volume. Not clumpy or spider lash giving. Does not transfer to eyelids or go everywhere smudge etc. I would definitely buy this one again
