If you've seen any of emilynoel83's recent videos, you know she raves about this mascara.
She is pretty much in love with it and has recommended it several times.
I have a thing for mascaras. So I picked this one up and have been using it for a few weeks.
I have to say, I had such high hopes for it.
It's not bad, but it's definitely not my favorite.
Things I love about it:
- it has great color. deep dark black that stays rich in color all day.
- it keeps the lashes looking full all day.... no touch ups necessary.
- it has a nice big brush with normal bristles
Things I'm not crazy about:
- it doesn't "correct" very well. I absolutely CANNOT apply mascara without getting little dots on my lids. Just can't do it. And I like to be able to grab a q-tip and wipe the smudge away without messing up my makeup. With this mascara, I just simply can't do that. The little dots just refuse to come off. So I end up having to re-touch my eye makeup after I get rid of the smudges.
Hate that.
- while I like the applicator, the brush is wide at the tip. this makes it a little difficult to get to those little lashes in the inner corners. And if you are able to get in there, it leads to the first problem... smudges.
- while it is buildable, it's just a tad too dry for my liking. It's much drier than L'Oreal Voluminous or Covergirl LashBlast. I prefer those better. With Almay's, 2 coats is about all I can manage without creating spider lashes. Nobody likes those.
So those are my thoughts. Not a bad mascara, by any means.
But not my fave.
Let me know if you've tried it and what you think!
