I was a bit meh about this mascara when I bought it back in June, but it's really grown on me. I still wish the brush was a bit narrower (I prefer thinner brushes, as I can be less careful when applying.) I love the formula though - it leaves lashes soft and flexible, without wilting a curl, you can build it up without clumps and it doesn't flake or smudge. I picked this up again when I had my cold/sore throat recently and absolutely had to wear mascara for a work meeting, and it didn't irritate my eyes either.
When I was in Liberty earlier this week I had a look at the Le Metier counter, and the counter assistant showed me some pictures of the Spring 2010 Kaleidoscope kits. There is definitely one or more of those in my future; the colours are based around formal garden colour schemes, and are much more wearable than last year's very bright kits. I'm going back next week to see if they have them in yet, and I will show you pictures if/when I buy one.

I agree completely about using a small brush - why are mascara brushes getting bigger and bigger...and BIGGER? I'm just bitter cos I've got about three lashes and they're on the brink of extinction - so Chanel sculpte cils is the only one for me. Am I right in thinking mascara is not your first love?
ReplyDeleteHi Joolz - and then there are all the weird swirly alien-shaped brushes that seem to be the rage these days. I don't get those at all.
ReplyDeleteMascara doesn't excite me much - I just want it to do the job without making my eyes itch or smearing! This is a pretty good one.
Hi Grace,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review.
You said it does not smear. Really? even after like 10 hours? For me the only only that does not smear is the Jemma Kidd make up school, I love that! the only problem is that is does not last very long, it starts flaking after 3-4 weeks or so (don't remember really), so I am in the look out for something that can last more. I am using the Lancome Hypnose, and yes it smear after like 4 hours, same with the Armani Eyes to kill, both last but my long hours are not a good match for them...
love your reviews

This mascara sure sounds good. I have yet to find one that is that good! It's a neverending search.
ReplyDeleteOops, I almost forgot, I've completed your tag and I've passed you a happy tag. If you're tired of tags already, no worries. You don't have to do it. I would totally understand. :)
