After I posted my haul from Clinique, featuring this product, I had a lot of comments asking for a review of this mascara - so here it is!
First Impressions
My first impressions of this product were really disappointing! The packaging looks really old fashioned in my opinion. The mascara bristles are natural and not plastic which I like. It applied SO much mascara the first time which really weighed down my lashes with tonnes of mascara - it looked awful!
Application and results
Since having this mascara for about two weeks now, I have learned to apply this mascara so that it doesn't smother/weigh down my lashes so much. I find that I have to apply the mascara lightly otherwise it will apply far too much product. Apply lightly with only one coat and it will look quite natural but defined, lengthened and slightly volumised. The mascara is really black and it is a quite 'wet' formula. Once applied lightly I do like the effects, however I find that it can clump easily. I use my Shu Uemura lash curlers before this product and I find that this mascara doesn't help hold the curl and the mascara can flake off through out the day.
Positives: Nice effects when applied lightly - length, definition and some volume. Also it is really black. Waterproof.
Negatives: Not very cheap. Can clump. Can flake off through out the day. Doesn't hold a curl that well. Applies a lot of product if applied normally!
On wednesday this week I received my order from Clinique. I purchased their new High Impact Waterproof Mascara which I was excited to try and I only buy waterproof mascaras. I had a code for a free travel size Airbrush Concealer (which I adore) so I made a cheeky order.
I received the Clinique Waterproof High Impact Mascara in Black, the Clinique Airbrush Concealer in the shade 04 and I picked two samples: the Clinique Take the day of makeup remover and the Clinique pore refining serum which I haven't tried before. I was surprised at how large the tube was for the sample serum, I thought it would be a sachet.
Here is the new mascara, it is the lastest mascara from Clinique I believe and here are my first impressions. I don't like the look of the packaging, I think it looks old fashioned but I do like that the bristles on the wand as they are not plastic. I tried this for the first time on wednesday and I applied it to my lashes straight from the tube as you would with any other mascara and it applied SO MUCH mascara to my lashes that they were caked and smothered in mascara which was horrible! I used the same wand for the other eye, I didn't put it pack in the tube to pick up more product, and it worked fine then but the initial swipe applied so much mascara! So a disappointing start but I will have to use it more to review it fully.
