Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara I don’t really have much trouble with my eyelashes, I’m very dark-haired so I wouldn’t say mascara would be top of the list of things I would take to a desert island with me. I know that to some women choose it as their 'number one couldn’t live without item', but I’d say mine would be blusher or bronzing powder of some kind. However, I would rule it out completely from my make up bag and it’s always good to accentuate what you’ve got... I mean isn’t that why wonder bras were invented? If I were to take a particular type of mascara to a desert island with me though, it would definitely be this one. I have tried ...  Read the complete review

I was looking for a new mascara on the boots website a few weeks ago, and I always go off the reviews, so when I came across this Clinique mascara, which had 5 stars from nearly every reviewer, I thought I'd give it a go. It cost a little more than I would normally pay, at £16. I am surprised it is that cheap now that I have used it, as it is a really nice mascara, and actually one of the best that I have used. This is a small mascara, I was surprised when this arrived from Boots, it was very small, thinner and smaller than most mascaras, but not too tiny that it's hard to use. It came in a Clinique box, and the actual mascara tube is just a shiny silver ...  Read the complete review

I've never paid for it. I don't have to. I'm such a loyal customer I get freebies! OK, enough of the cheap inuendos, I'll come clean. I'm talking about Clinique's most basic mascara. I've yet to know of a 'Bonus Time' giveaway promotion from Clinique that hasn't included one of these marvels. The truth is though that it was quite some time before I actually tried it. I was a stickler for my old lash building waterproof, bulletproof one, and it wasn't until this ran out and I needed one, quick (!) that I bothered to give it a go. Well, I'm a convert. Unless I'm going swimming, or out ...  Read the complete review

As a contact lense wearer I have had a certain amount of trouble finding a mascara that I am happy with. They can't be waterproof as the only way to get this type off is with oil based cleansers and these make my lenses smeary. They can't have any bits in so this knocks out all the mascaras that promise longer thicker lashes as they all have fibres in. As you can imagine this doesn't leave many to choose from. The other criteria that they must fulfil is to stay on and not go all smudgy if a contact lense crisis should ensue and has to be taken out for a wash. Well I am pleased to announce that my search is over ! YAY! My prayers have been answered ...  Read the complete review

Before finding this little gem I had long since given up on finding the right mascara for me. I have found that all I have used in the past have looked & felt too heavy & also seemed to have an aging effect on my eyes, I'm also not a great fan of the clumpy lash look & wanted a mascara that just looked natural. I was beginning to think that I was asking too much until I found myself at a Clinique counter in my local department store & after discussing my dilemma with one of the consultants she recommended the naturally glossy mascara. Costing £11 at the time (around 6 years back) I did think it was a little pricey for something that I thought would ...  Read the complete review
