Advantages: really easy to apply, and to remove, looks very natural
Disadvantages: Can be pricey
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 in the rain with no brolly (both somewhat rare occurances), this one does just fine thanks. The consistency of the mascara is so smooth, it simply refuses to clump, regardless of layers. What a novelty! A really natural result every time - perfect for the heavy handed. Another big advantage, is that true to Clinique's brand, it won't irritate sensitive eyes and doesn't flake off, so is fine for contact lense wearers. Because it isn't volumising, lengthening or waterproof, it's basic formula makes it a breeze to wash off at the end of the day. No scrubbing and no pulling means less wear and tear on your most fragile features (your eyes), so you could say it has anti-wrinkle properties! The packaging is sweet and simple. Pale green for the free ones and silver (I think!) for the ones that you pay for. Pretty stylish really. I don't know what more you can ask for. Yes, it is more expensive than other brands, but still one of the cheapest things from Clinique. Either use it as your second choice to get a Bonus Time gift (buy two items - one skincare - and get eight little darlings free), or choose something else and get the mascara for free - like me.
