Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes

When shopping in town with a friend, I was pretty surprised to find a minature medieval torture device at the Givenchy counter in Debenhams. However, as I got closer, I realised that it was not, in fact, a tiny replica of a mace, but some new, 'revolutionary' mascara. In case you couldn't work it out from the picture, the Phenomen'Eyes mascara is very short with a little ball on the end with spikes. Sounds kind of scary to be honest. When I first used it I was terrified of poking my eye out. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to buy it, despite the £18.50 price tag - £18.50? For a mascara? It's madness, MADNESS I TELL YOU! -, and used it as soon as I ...  Read the complete review

I had seen an advert for this mascara and desperately searched it out. Finding a store that stocks the full range of Givenchy make up was a challenge in itself. However, as soon as I found one, I made my purchase. The price tag is fairly high at £18.50, so be sure this is the product for you! This mascara does exactly what it promises - it gets right into the corners, catching even the smallest and fairest of lashes, it lengthens everything, and gives you that bright - wide- eyed look. Getting to the brush takes a while. It can be a bit fiddly to get the right angles, but with a bit of practise you can be an expert at covering your lashes ...  Read the complete review

Givenchy have been given quite a lot of credit for designing the brush that's the main attraction of this mascara. I'd agree with the hype and say that the brush is definitely brilliant and effective - when showing it to a male friend recently (who knows nothing about make-up) he said 'why aren't all mascaras that shape?' which is a good point! I think in time this style of brush will take over; L'oreal have jumped on the bandwagon already. I read about this mascara a while ago and wanted to try it, but being someone who buys a new mascara pretty much every week, I waited a while until I'd made a bit of progress with my ever-growing batch. I finally got ...  Read the complete review

I am a make up junkie, and when I saw the ridiculous / unusual shape of this mascara brush, I just knew I had to try it. It cost £18.50 in Debenhams, which I think is terribly expensive for a mascara, but I was so curious at the design that I would have been willing to take out a loan just to try it! My first impressions of this mascara was that it is very time consuming to use. Being so different to a conventional mascara, it does take some getting used to, and even then it will take longer to apply. Having said that, the effect is amazing. The spike-ball shaped brush really does allow you to reach all the way from the root of your ...  Read the complete review

I was walking through Debenhams when I spotted this strange looking contraption, no sooner had I looked at it then I found myself in the demonstration chair for all to see. The lady applied this mascara to one of my eyes and the results were incredible! I have never known a wand like this before but it is superb. You apply the mascara in the same way you would any other but then also use the wand and push it up vertically into your lashes. It cost me £18.50 which was quite pricey but you only have to pull out the wand once and that is enough for both eyes so I imagine it will last a long time. Although to my knowledge it is ...  Read the complete review
