There is one thing with this mascara I will never get used to; you can apply this mascara 2 ways! You can apply it the usual way, holding the want horizontally, but you can also apply it by holding it vertically!I only used one coat, and I only applied a little mascara the vertical way. The rest was applied with the normal horizontal way
Pros
-Thick and moist formula
-Doesn't Smudge
-Spreads Lashes w/o clump (if you only use 1 coat)
-Keeps lashes soft and flexible, rather than hard & stiff
-The wand easily reaches all lashes
-mascara clicks when you close it so you know its securely shut

Cons
-Hardly adds lengths
-I find that this flakes during the day and really irritates my contacts
-Doesn't give me that "falsies" look. No one has asked me if my lashes were real when I wore this! lol
-Expensive! $23-It clumps easily, so I tend to stick with one coat
-only comes in black
Overall
Overall, would I buy this again? Mmmm no. $23 for a mascara is pricey! I do like the concept of the brush though. I'm thinking about just saving the brush when I run out of mascara and just wash it, then buy a cheaper mascara and use the wand with that :P See if that helps at all.

Have you tried this mascara before?
wow, this mascara makes your lashes look beautiful! i would have asked if they were falsies :P haha. but i think the best part of the mascara is the wand too! i dont wear this mascara when im looking for drama but for every day it does the trick. i havent ever bought the full size because i also think its really pricey. i cant wait to get this in the sephora birthday gift!
ReplyDeleteI mean I do like this mascara, I just feel like there are cheaper mascaras out there that work a lot better for me! I'll have to try again when I get the birthday mini from Sephora this month. Maybe a fresh tube will sway my thoughts toward it!
DeleteIt looks nice on you. Definitely see the added length. I don't wear mascara cuz they don't do much for my tiny lashes.
ReplyDeleteI see. Do you wear falsies for dramatic looks? I've always wanted to try false eyelashes but I have noo idea how to apply them lol!
DeleteWhen I wear mascara, they end up looking like little insect legs, LOL. Yes if I want something dramatic, I just use falsies cause they give me instant gratification. Something mascara can't do for me. The first time I tried applying falsies, I think it took me one hour on one eye! LOL. It takes practice I suppose but after that I can do it in less than 5 min. So if you persist, you will get the hang of it too.
DeleteOh gosh, haha! I can only imagine how long it would take me to apply them! People on youtube make it look way too easy! I'll have to try sometime :)
DeleteOh I wish it worked better for you.
ReplyDeleteI really love it for my eyelashes, and I agree it's rather expensive! I haven't repurchased it again because of its price. I have been loving Revlon's Photoready 3D volume mascara, it has a similar wand to this benefit one and it works well xx

Ah really?? I'll have to try the 3D mascara when I run out of the current mascara I'm using. I'm sure its a heck of a lot cheaper than the benefit mascara!
Deletegreat review
ReplyDeleteI have it and I love it :)
follow back, if you like
Thanks :) I did!
DeleteDefinitely keep the brush! If you like it that much, just see how it works with other mascaras (like you said) :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm thinking about trying the brush with my Clinique High Impact mascara. I have a feeling that the pairing will be awesome!
Deletelooks like this mascara's super separating :)
