Advantages: great effect and stays well

Disadvantages: Brush can make it hard to reach small lashes

Whilst buying some of my usual makeup from Mabelline I noticed that there was a three for two offer on so I thought I would give this a try. It have very
eyecatching and modern looking packaging which really caught my eye. It is very bright yellow and purple not colours that I would usually think of together but for this it does have a good effect.

The amount of product is 10.7ml so you do get quite a bit for your money. The usual price is £6.84 which is a good price for a mascara from a brand such as maybelline.

The top is the handle it is round and slightly tapered towards the top and is comfortable to hold. It is quite thick so I didn't find it as easy as other mascaras to hold to do tricky bits like the inner corners.

The brush is quite fat with lots of bristles on it they are placed quite close together so you get less clumps this way and more seperation of your eyelashes. They are quite stiff bristles so this is good as it is easy to apply. The brush does taper towards the end but it is still quite big for getting smalller eyelashes. If you do smudge it though it is easy to wipe of from around your eyes.

When it is on it is a nice rich black colour, and it does add a lot of volume like it claims. It doen't clump though as I have found with a lot of volume mascaras I have used. It make eyelashes look fuller and wider and gives a great effect. It isn't to dramatic though so you could wear this in the day as well as applying more coats to make a fuller effect for the night.

It dries quickly so you don't have smudges everywhere.
It stays well and it lasts for the whole day without starting to flake of. I would recommend this mascara I will be buying it again.

Summary: great mascara
