At the start of the week I was browsing Superdrug' Website, looking for
new releases when I came across this mascara! I didn't even know we were
getting it over in the UK?? & to add to my surprise they were on a 2
for £10 offer instead of £9.99 each!. I ran *drove* to snap them up for
research purposes of course... (definitely not the pretty packaging!) I
have never been drawn to Revlon for Mascara, I own more L'Oreal or
Maybelline I'm not too sure why that is really?
They are advertised as Spellbinding Volume. Supernatural Length. Magically
transform lashes to lush, long and lustrous. A potion with
strengthening proteins drenches lashes for volume. Triple-groove wand
combs through for clump-free length.
I got mine in Black Waterproof & Black/Brown, I have used them 2-3
times since I got them and so far I am enjoying using them!
Texture and consistency: This
formula is not too dry and not too wet, It's a thicker formula, but it
clings to the lashes easily. It is pretty clump-free, Once this mascara
has dried, it is not brittle or crispy, it stays very soft and pliable
after it has set.
Brush: Because
the bristles are dense but spaced far apart from each other, this
allows you to easily coat your lashes. I like this brush a lot, because
it feels like you're getting product on all sides of your lashes with
very minimal effort.
Application: The formula is just the right consistency and because of the brush as described above, I find application very easy.
Staying power: It
lasted pretty well, I've not tried my waterproof one just yet but this
one went on & lasted a good 8hrs? I did notice a little flaking but
nothing drastic.
Removal: Considering
that this mascara stays quite soft and pliable on the lashes even after
it dries, removal was extremely easy. I am able to remove this mascara
quickly and easily with my usual nightly face cleanser.
FINAL VERDICT: Adorable
packaging, Great brush, easy application, decent volume, I love the
consistency and colour pay off - Very Black! I'm also satisfied with the
level of volume this gives my lashes (not dramatic, but good enough for
daytime wear). I'm looking forward to trying the Waterproof to see if
the longevity is better & hopefully no flaking! If like me your not a
fan of flaking then I'd just go straight for the waterproof version.
