Review (3/5): Very wet, with an unusual brush
I had heard a lot of buzz about this mascara and ran out and bought it, even though I've never had much luck with L'Oreal mascaras. My unlucky streak continues.
The brush is, triangular shaped with the plastic bristles on one side. I think the brush shape does spread the lashes for the much desired "butterfly" shape. However, other qualities were not so successful.
This masacara is very, very wet and blobs when you apply it. The way the brush is shaped makes it hold a lot of mascara. I have long-but-light lashes and I curled them before applying. I had to comb the (using little lash comb) to separate them and unstick them. Once separated I noticed a slight fan effect, but not noticeably different from when I use my favorite Maybelline Full n Soft, which is a much dryer formula with a more traditional brush. Unlike previous L'Oreal mascaras it did stay on all day with no flaking.
So I gave it 3 stars for being waterproof and the unusual brush which may work better on different types of lashes. However I took off stars for its messy wet application. It was also a bit difficult to remove.
If you like a wet mascara, you'll probably like this one. However, I did not and won't buy again.
Pros:
It is waterproof.
Cons:
Difficult and blobby application
Sticks lashes together
