Advantages: None.

Disadvantages: Read my review.

~The Price~
I can't remember what the exact price was, however I do remember the 'Miss Sporty' display- and it clearly stated that all products were under 3 pounds. That was, as cheap as it may sound, what attracted me. "Under three pounds? It can't be!" I suddenly put down my regular and beloved 'Maybelliene Colossal Mascara that I was about to buy, and practically ran over to the 'Miss Sporty' display.

~The Packaging~
The packaging is girly, and it seems that in general the products are targeted at Teenage. The shape of it is basically a long tube, similar to most mascara's out there nowdays. The tip of the tube is candyfloss pink, and lower end of the it is black. In eyechatcing Silver it says 'Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Xtra Black. Lash Building Mascara', and underneath in smaller letter but still noticebe it sates what the product does exactly (I shall go into that in detail later on). The tube again is similar to other products in the market- it's made of plastic. Although it's eyecatching, and appealing in the way that it looks fun and it's also cheap I do have to state it does look tacky and I honestly can't see someone older then 16 buying this product (I think it's aimed at teens who are just starting out with Makeup).


~The Mascara~
On the mascara, in detail, it stated- "Fabulous Lash-intensify your look! Build your lashes from natural to dramatic. Extra Black pigments give lashes intense colour for a more glamorous look. Unique control brush evenly coats lashes from root to tip." Starting with the postive part, it does indeed make your eyelashes Black, very Black indeed. Another positive about it is that it manages to separate your lashes. But although this it true, it does not create a 'Dramatic' effect at all, nor does it intensify your lashes. It didn't curve my eyelashes one bit, I think this is due to the striaght and long brush, it only left my lashes with the natural effect.....well not so natural as it was ridiculously dark. The brush was also brittle, and after coating it on several times- because my eyelashes simply wouldn't curve at all- the brittleness and overall bad quality of the brush alone made me put the Mascara somewhere. Definantly not my makeup bad- more like the bin.

I shall not be buying this Mascara again, I think the old saying applys to this (though I stress that I have seen cheap mascara's of good quality)- "The cheaper, the worser the quality".

Summary: Very cheap Mascara, under three pounds. But was there a reason why it wasn't exactly expensive?
