I bought this mascara about a month ago because I was going on holidays and I wanted a mascara with more staying power. I had previously loved a No.7 mascara but they changed all the formulas and I was very disappointed to loose such a great mascara.
I really like this type of brush as it's great at separating the lashes and it coats them really well. This mascara doesn't clump unless you use huge amounts of it (less is more people!!) and it generally looks really natural but volumised.
There is a few downsides to this mascara though. It smells really chemically, like the cheap mascaras you get in kids sets. It's doesn't hurt your eyes or anything and it's hypoallergenic so it should be fine for the most sensitive people. It's also not very waterproof. When it gets wet it kind of sheds little flecks of black under the eyes. It wipes off really easily and then looks perfect again. The majority of the mascara stays on your lashes and still looks perfect so I just find this mascara a little confusing.
It costs €12.25 in Boots which is really good value. Most standard drugstore mascaras cost more than that these days and considering that this is a bit more high end, it's definitely a great price.
As a standard mascara, this stuff works great but as a waterproof mascara I really wouldn't recommend it. This was my first experience with waterproof mascaras so I can't recommend an alternative unfortunately.
If anyone knows of a good waterproof mascara put it in the comments!!
Talk to you soon!!
