Advantages: Not tested on animals

Disadvantages: Too clumpy, terrible to remove

I don't usually buy Boots 17 Mascara but I was drawn into the free gift on offer at the time so ended up trying the Black Lasting Fix Mascara which claims to be All day wear, Smudge proof with incredible staying power that visibly lengthens & defines lashes.

I found this mascara very disappointing, on the first application I had to comb through my lashes as they were clumped up, the bush had far too much mascara on, I wiped some off on the top of the tube and tried again. I personally like to build up my mascara for the desired look but it was impossible with this mascara as my lashes were all stuck together and it dried so fast!

I have quite sensitive eyes especially in the summer when my hayfever is bad and this mascara did not help, it dried so fast and during the day little bits were coming off and going into my eyes causing irritation so I ended up having to take it all off which was not an easy task! It states on the tube smudge proof but its make up remover proof also!!

I was not at all happy with this mascara and it will be a long time before I buy another boots 17 mascara.

Summary: I would avoid unless you really have no other option.
