I can honestly say I have never found a mascara to rival this one! Definitely a massive fan and I always recommend it to friends. I can't tell the difference between the ultra black and the absolute black so my review encompasses them both! With a nice thick consistency, this mascara coats eyelashes quickly and easily, creating plenty of volume. I certainly don't use it sparingly and it always lasts me a long time, definitely value for money in my eyes.

BOURJOIS VOLUME CLUBBING - ULTRA BLACK/ABSOLUTE BLACK

*Volume 5/5
Whilst other mascaras deliver on length, this mascara excels on the volume front without sacrificing length, making eyelashes look thick and dark. Sometimes you have to take a few minutes to ensure your eyelashes are separated as they can stick together whilst applying the mascara, however sparing a few extra minutes is no sacrifice for thick luscious lashes!

*Length 5/5
Long eyelashes are a must for me and this mascara always delivers. I have often been told how 'lovely and long' my eyelashes look and I think that is a recommendation in itself!

*Durability 5/5
Long lasting, doesn't smudge, doesn't flake.

Applying a single layer of mascara gives a natural bambi-eyes look, or apply multiple layers for a dramatic evening style. A firm favourite, if anyone thinks they know a mascara to beat this one then please do let me know!
