Advantages: Longer lashes

Disadvantages: Not very thick lashes

This medium priced mascara has received a lot of hype in the US. To my knowledge, it is not widely available in the UK - only in city stores as I know my local Boots and Superdrug do not have it yet the larger ones do. I saw this in Boots in The Thistles, Stirling for just over £8, however, I received a £2 off L'Oreal voucher so bought it for £6. I have seen it online for around £4 e.g. cosmeticsfairy.co.uk

I find the mascara easy to apply but I agree with many people that it is a very watery or wet consistency. I have not had any smudging so far and it seems to dry quite quickly. 1 coat doesn't clump but I rarely apply more than that cause I do not like the look of thick, spidery lashes. I do not find that it flakes but for me, it doesn't hold a curl for very long. The colour is a true black, but I think browns and blues are also available. This is not a very cheap mascara, but I think it is on a par with the YSL faux cils which I like but do not love. So basically, this is a decent mascara but nothing amazing.

Summary: This is an average/good mascara
