Hello beauties! My life's been hectic recently which has meant no new posts for a while, but I have a nice, long summer break ahead of me, so hopefully I'll have a lot of time to post things for you!
Today's post is another review and it's on a mascara from Bourjois which I've been trying out for about a month.
Firstly, I think I have okay lashes. They aren't amazingly long but they aren't so short that I need either 20 coats of mascara or false eyelashes everyday. They have a slight curl on their own and I usually look for a mascara than can just add a bit of definition and volume.
I first saw this mascara in a few of Pixiwoo's videos and I was stunned by how amazing it made Nic's lashes look. So after some deliberation I decided to buy it.
I guess the main selling point of this mascara is the rotating brush head and although that's pretty impressive, I still think £12 for a mascara is pretty pricey for drugstore. Anyhow, this did take some getting used to for me. If you get the head rotating the wrong way it can lead to a hot mess! But after some trial and error I managed to get this to work for me.
Originally, I didn't care for this too much and thought it was a bit gimmicky. However, I've learnt to really love it! Because of the rotating head it's able to build up volume incredibly fast and yet it never makes my lashes look particularly clumpy.
Ignore how badly my eyebrows need a groom!
When I first tried this mascara I thought that it worked much better on uncurled lashes but actually I've come to find that it works just fine on curled lashes, however it doesn't hold it amazingly. I don't know if it's because the brush packs on so much product or what, but this mascara can weigh the lashes down a little. So, if you have really straight lashes, this may not be the product for you.
Another downside is that there is no waterproof version of this product. I don't often have a problem with flaking or smearing on mascara's but I do find that this can transfer a little on the lower lashes which is quite irritating but, nothing a mid-day touch up can't solve.
Overall, I'm quite happy with this mascara. It add's volume quickly without clumping and there's only minimal smudging. However, I'm not entirely sure that I would say it was worth £11.99.
I'd give this product a 3/5.
Have a fabulous day,
