Advantages: No clumping, no flaking, long lasting, a truly pretty natural look

Disadvantages: None!

I first bought this product because I needed a mascara which could give me a natural look suitable for daytime wear. I had already purchased Clinique's High Impact mascara for evening looks, and being incredibly happy with this product I decided to show some brand loyalty. I'm glad I did!

The lightweight, no-fuss shimmery grey tube looks sophisticated, however after a while of being in my make-up bag all the writing peeled completely off, leaving me no way to identify it without squinting at the small sticker at the bottom of the tube. This is but a small sacrifice to pay as the mascara itself is wonderful.

The mascara wand unscrews easily ready for application. The brush is smaller than most, with lots of little bristles to reach inbetween the individual lashes to help separate them. The formula itself is lightweight and hardly noticable when applied. I have had no experience of clumping or flaking, however after a while product does tend to build up on the wand so you may find you need to use a lash brush after application to wipe away the excess.

With the choice of two shades (Black and Black/Brown) this product is perfect for creating a natural, long lasting daytime look - lashes will be separated and lengthened without overdoing it. The mascara is easily removed at the end of the day, and doesn't irritate sensitive eyes.

If you're looking for volume and that almost false-lash effect then I wouldn't recommend this product at all, however if you want a natural look then at around £13 this product is well worth the price tag.

Summary: Perfect for natural looking lashes
