Advantages: Gives dramatic lashes

Disadvantages: pricey, a bit clumpy

I was walking through town one day on a mission? to find the best mascara there is. As most of us ladies should know we are supposed to throw away our mascara?s if they are three months old or more. Anyway. I was sick of cheep mascaras that kept flaking off my lashes, or made me look like an extra in a horror movie after it had been raining. No I was out to find the best one there is. And seeing as I have short and stubby lashes a lengthening one is best of me.


~~~Appearance~~~
This is truly a sexy mascara for truly sexy lashes. It is ultra long because it has two wands ( you will read why in the next section). And is ultra curvy. I recon it must have been designed with the 60?s era in mind. Because the product is black and white in colour.


~~~~The mascara~~~
This is a bit different to your average mascara. First of all you?ll notice it a bit longer than all the others, And secondly it has two ?wands?. This is because they separate the lengthening formula from the actual colour. Just to make it a bit different I suppose. But each of these are 6ml, so not that generous amounts but if they added anymore the stick would be massive. Bourjois were the first company to make a mascara in this way.

Act one ? I lengthen my lashes to infinity? You apply the white ended wand to your eyelashes first. This contains the actual lengthening and thickening formula. Not only is the handle white but the solution as well. As you swipe it through your lashes you can actually see before your eyes your lashes growing in length ( even more so if you apply it in front of a magnifying mirror) But don?t ask me how it works. It really makes a difference. Apparently it contains cero fibular complex consisting of wax nylon fibres and silica fibres.

Act two ?I dress my lashes divinely? Then you apply the black colour to finish it off, for a more dramatic effect, and also to cover up the whiteness from the other end. This contains Pro vi
tamin B5, and is highly pigmented.


~~~Results~~~
What you are left with are stunningly thick long luscious lashes. They are very noticeable and whenever I wear it I get comments on what lovely lashes I have, and my female friends always ask me what mascara I use. The only thing is you have to apply it really carefully to stop it going clumpy. It does what it says on the pack, which in itself is a miracle as not many beauty products achieve that.


After wearing it for a few hours the results are still visible, and thank god does not flake around the eyes, which I find most mascaras do. But it will come off if you rub it. (I have a tendency to rub my eyes if I?m tired and if I?m wearing this I look like a panda afterwards).So therefore it?s easy to remove with make up remover, and you don?t have to stand there for ages scrubbing away till your eyes are red raw.

Although the product isn?t waterproof, it will not stream down your face in the chance you are caught in a rainstorm.


~~~Advert~~~
just if you?re interested in the advert side of things. They don?t show this advert anymore, maybe because it has been out for a while. The advert was one of the factors that made me buy it

It shows a model dressed up in sixties gear, to match the style of the mascara, applying the make up to her lashes as she does there is a voice saying in the background ?come one, stretch, higher, higher, work that stretching?. And then at the end where its showing the product the slogan is ?the stretching program for eyelashes?. It is a bit different to other makeup adds and I suppose that is why it caught my eye.

You can buy this from nearly all make up suppliers, but it is a little pricey at £8.95. But it my opinion it is totally worth it. And if you shop at boots they often do offers on boujuors products, so its handy to shop there if you have an advantage card.
