If you watched my video, then you'll know that I didn't care for this product, but let's get in to the review:
Breakdown:
Packaging: I'm going to admit that the only reason why I even looked at this product was because I saw the tube and loved it! My favorite color is blue and I'm a sucker when it's this type of metallic-blue on the package. It's a pretty big tube compared to most mascara, but similar to the size of Covergirl's Lash Blast.
Wand: This has a figure eight-shaped/hour glass shape wand and the bristles are actual bristles (not like those plastic type bristles). It doesn't pick up too much product, except at the very tip. It does a pretty good job at dispersing the product evenly on my lashes and coats all of my lashes.
Product: The formula of this product is extremely different from what I'm used to, especially with waterproof mascaras. With most waterproof mascaras, you'll experience a drier formula which will allow it to really cling to your lashes, and with the non-waterproof version, you'll usually experience it to be more wet/liquid. I was extremely thrown off with how liquid this was when I first opened it.
Longevity: Once the mascara actually dried, it lasted the entire day. I didn't suffer from flakes coming off throughout the day. I did notice that because the formula is more wet from what I'm used to, it didn't hold my curl as well as the drier formulas do.
Application: I applied it using my usual routine and let me tell you, it was a gigantic mess. Once I applied it, I blinked and there was product under my eyes and on my eyelid. It was ridiculous. I had to remove some of my eyeshadow to get the product off and it took about 5 minutes for the actual product to dry. It does a good job at separating my lashes and didn't clump on the first coat. To be honest I haven't bothered to try layering this because of the mess it creates. The packaging claims to add volume, separate lashes, with no clumps. I don't notice it adding any volume but I do notice it separating lashes without any clumps.
Overall:
If you have the patience to work with the product or you have no problem working with a really wet formula, you may be interested in it. It's supposed to give you a doll-eyes like effect, so if your lashes don't get weighted down easily and you have thick lashes this may be perfect for you. I really suggest if you want to try out this product, you should get it from some place with a good return policy.
I wouldn't go back to purchase this and there's a good chance that if this formula doesn't dry up I won't go back to using it. I prefer to stick with my Maybelline The Falsies Flared (WP). It's not worth it to deal with the mess it creates, especially when I work so hard on my eye look. What'a good Rimmel mascara to try? I really want to branch out and try different mascaras. The Falsies Flared (WP) is my holy grail mascara and I've easily gone through at least 4-5 tubes of it. Let me know what you favorite mascara is on twitter (@ciaociaoreview)!
Until my next post,
Stay Beautiful <3
