Another Smashbox review, indeed. I went slightly overboard on the Woolies sale.
This mascara is not bad but it also is not good. It has a funny nubbly applicator that hurts when you apply it to close to your eyelid. It also makes your lashes very hard and is difficult to remove. I find that it burns my eyes and makes them water ending up with it looking as though I always have pink eye. Not at all impressed with Smashbox. Will stick to my old Faithful Maybelline colossal Cat Eyes.
This mascara is billed as a "high-intensity all-in-one mascara with a unique dual brush and comb applicator that lifts, lenthens, volumises and defines".
I loved the colour - a really dark, glossy black, but found that the other claims fell short. I didn't notice any significant increase in volume and only a slight increase in length.
As for the dual brush and comb applicator, I have to be honest and say I did not notice the different sides of the applicator until I read about it in another review! I had used this mascara a few times by then so who knows which side of the applicator I was actually using to apply! On close inspection of the applicator I could see the different brush and comb sides, but I found the difference between them to be minimal.
I also found that this is a very "wet" mascara so you have to be very careful when applying. The first time I used it I blinked too quickly after application and ended up with dark black smudges down my cheeks!
