Va va voom mascara

Needing a new mascara, and with a special introductory offer on this one, as well as an eye shadow palette, I deceide to give it a whirl.
This is described as the mascara which is going to give me flirty, fabulous lashes so that's a bit fantastic, and rather like the marketing of most other mascaras.

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING...

The mascara is fairly eye catching and not at all subtle with its purple and black design interspersed with stars and circles.When I unscrew the top, the brush does as promised have oversized bristles and the brush itself is bigger than I would normally expect. This big wand is apparently what I need to create big, dramatic lashes in one easy sweep, and the expected unique ingredient means that I can apply as many coats of the stuff as I want without my lashes getting clumpy.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY...

Available online at www.boots.com and instore with a RRP of £5.86

FOR MORE IDEAS...
Go onto the va va voom page and get lots of ideas from a make up artist for experimenting with different types of "looks", including evenly coated lashes (i thought they should always be evenly coated), luscious thickness and length.

VERDICT...

I can't remember ever having bought a No 17 mascara before, and I was impressed with this one. The nice big wand makes it quick and easy to apply. One coat seems to give lightish coverage but a second coat makes lashes look long and thick. It is a waterproof mascara and as such can be quite tricky to fully remove- I tend to find that a cream eye make up remover works best.

I have had this about a month now and with daily use, it still applies evenly and smoothly and gives good coverage. I like the fact that one coat just gives a blackening effect and a second coat gives a more pronounced evening look.

I would recommend this mascara- budget priced easy to apply and effective.

Thanks for reading.
