I finally tried-out a new mascara, yaay! My favorite beauty product is- by far- mascara, so I was super excited when I picked-up this new one.
Onward!

I have to admit--- when I very first put on this mascara, I immediately wanted to return it. I was just so NOT impressed. But after returning to it a few times, I've learned it's little quirks and how to make it look great, haha! (Also, I think that mascara formulas in general need to be introduced to air to really perform properly-- even with my Voluminous, it sucks if I apply it right after opening the package. Just a thought!)
First of all, the formula is AMAZING. Not too wet/dry/cakey, and it layers pretty well. You can really tell that the synthetics have been replaced-- it's not crunchy or heavy AT ALL. Yes! And, even with the moisturizing, it doesn't smudge throughout the day, and definitely no flaking.
The brush is ok... it's a molded brush, so it does a decent job of separating, but honestly it's not anything remarkable. The formula is the major kicker here~

You'll notice that it is a tad clumpy, but only if you get really close. But seriously-- see the difference between the 1 coat and 3 coats?! I'll tell you the trick--
** Let the mascara sit on your lashes for about 10-ish seconds before applying another coat. It allows the formula to dry, but not too much that it gets too clumpy. Ta-da!
I wish this mascara had more length, but as it's marketed as a volumizing mascara, I'll let that slide.
In a flash!~
A great lightweight, natural feeling mascara. Not as much drama as I would prefer, but a nice daytime choice.
What do you think? Have you tried this? Anything from the NatureLuxe line? Lemme know!!
Until Next Time--

I love this mascara! I've tried it in waterproof and non, and I think I prefer the regular. I love the color it gives my lashes and also the major volume. You're right- length isn't as much as I'd like it to be, but it's still good.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! Luv the pics! But does it leave little mascara dots halfway through the day? I really wanted to buy this but if I have to check in mirror every couple hours then I'd rather not..
ReplyDeleteHuge fan of this mascara. Its light and it doesnt flake after the day like others do. I love the color and the feel. Highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteThis mascara is amazing for a natural, more defined look, not if you want a dramatic, false lash effect. I found that it gave me more length than volume.
ReplyDeletehave you tried the new clump crusher? how does it compare to the natureluxe one? i have short, stubbornly straight lashes and i can't decide which mascara to buy....???
