My first impression of this mascara is that the packaging is a little plain and just doesn't stand out too well. This of course is not that important when it comes to the actual product, but it looks very similar to a few other products I have in my makeup area. There were quite a few mornings before work that I almost used this in my brows instead of my clear brow gel because the size and look of the bottle are almost identical. The brush for this mascara is not exactly my favorite either. I tend to lean more towards the plastic type brushes for mascara. This mascara has the hairbrush like bristles that are less modern now. This isn't a deal breaker for me with mascaras, but I tend to lean more toward the plastic type brushes. These were, of course just my first impressions of the product and by no means have any effect on the actual performance of the mascara itself, but I wanted to mention these factors as well.
The first time I wore this mascara I will be honest, I was not all that impressed. It worked just fine but there was nothing all that special about it. I still have a similar opinion on this mascara, but I do think it wears very nice. If you are looking for crazy volume or a mascara that will lengthen or curl your lashes, this is not the right product for you. This mascara gives you a nice look, but it does not give any extreme changes to your natural lashes, it just enhances them.
I wore this mascara as I mentioned earlier for two straight weeks. I wanted to include a picture of my eyes with the mascara applied as a reference. I do really like how my lashes look in this picture. They are more defined than they are without any mascara, but no crazy effects. For everyday use, I love this mascara. I like to keep my eyeshadow fairly neutral on most days for work, and I thought this mascara complimented this very well. It is also a more affordable mascara, so I like using this for every day instead of one of my more expensive ones. This mascara was sold for $7.99 at Target when I purchased it, and it still currently listed at that same price on Ulta's website. That is pretty average for a drugstore mascara. That is also about 1/3 of the price of a more luxury brand of mascara as well.
Overall I liked this mascara, but it was not all that special. Yes it defined my lashes and looked very nice, but it also did not do anything to wow me. I have fairly long lashes to begin with, so this mascara only works to enhance that. This mascara did do that, but I do not think it would help someone that much with smaller lashes than me. The price of this product does make it worth trying in my opinion. As I said, it is great for every day use when you don't want to constantly use your much more expensive mascara. Go ahead and give it a try. Decide for yourself if it is... worth the hype!
