I bought this mascara because I can’t stand “crumbling.” I’ve had enough of little bits of black dust falling on my eyelids and cheeks. The gal at the counter told me that I probably have old mascara and I should replace it every three months but ophthalmologists suggest replacing mascara each month. Yes, I do believe my mascara is six months old come to think of it. Maybe older?
She assured me that Clinique’s newest mascara will stay on my lashes until I shower with hot water. I can cry, swim, and sweat and this mascara won’t budge. She also said that this mascara will curl and volumize my lashes (whatever that means).
Downside
This mascara crumbles right away. The top of the tube dries out into little black bits that jump on the wand as soon as I dip the brush. Arg! Also, I have to use hot water to get this mascara off my face because my makeup remover is no match against this waterproof formula. This sucks if I make a mistake like tapping the wand against my brow bone or something. I can’t just wipe it off!
On the plus side
My lashes look long and thick – which I guess is what volumizing means. The wand-shape curls my lashes when I apply the product. This surprised me because I’ve never used one of those mid-evil eyelash curler contraptions in my life so I don’t know what my lashes look like curled up. They look good. I really like the arched wand.
I give it a “I’m not blown away but gimme the arched wand”
