I had the chance to test this mascara through the Smartson Beauty Panel. The first impression feels luxurious. I think the mascara is pretty okay, I got some volume and length with this mascara, but I found it to be dry which made it hard to apply multiple layers without it flaking. Other than that, I still think it lifts the lashes and holds all day without weighing them down. The mascara stayed nice throughout the day and evening, and it was also easy to wash off. I like the twisted brush and that it was easy to use, but the downside was that it was too dry so it was hard to apply multiple layers. I still think it gave nice lashes that lasted all day. Overall a good mascara, but I'm unsure if I will buy it again. I am participating in a test panel and received a free test product.

I had the pleasure of testing this mascara through the Smartson Beauty Panel, and it has been a pure delight. This mascara has exceeded all expectations, and it must be said that it is not easy for a picky mascara user with sensitive eyes. The formula is relatively light in consistency, gel-like feel, and not too sticky. I think it lifts the lashes very nicely and separates them well without becoming too clumpy or heavy and thick like some can be. Even when building up several layers, it stays nice, and the lashes still feel well separated and clean. Relatively high price, but I really think it’s worth the investment, especially when it’s on sale! I am participating in a test panel and have received a free test product.

I am participating in the Smartson test panel and have received a free test product. The mascara gives long and curled lashes, but try experimenting with which side of the brush you use. One side gives shorter lashes but more volume, while the other gives length and good curl (see picture). I also don't think there were any clumps. However, it was difficult not to smudge the eyelids during application, but I usually do that, so it might not have been the brush's fault. When I did smudge, it was easy to remove before it dried (didn't need to rub hard). The mascara dries quickly, which makes it easy to build up with more layers, but you have to work quickly. I think it held up well throughout the day and was easy to remove with makeup remover. I always use a bit of powder on my eyelids since they are 'hooded' and I don't find that it smudged off. I've tried better mascaras, but this one is really great! Also, I think it's a very luxurious design.
