Mascaras tend to fall in one of two categories: they either add volume or length. But with this innovative double-sided mascara, you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. The wand features one smudge-free Volumizing Black Mascara and one Lengthening Fiber Black Mascara. Use them alone, or combine them together for a phenomenal fringe.
I gave this mascara sample 5 stars and liked it so much, I ordered a full sized tube. (This was my very first full sized BB purchase!) Well, I wasn't aware of the fact that the full sized tube is double sided. The lengthening side dries my eyes out so badly, so I don't use that side of it and I love the volumizing side, but the top of the tube is so messy there will be a ton of wasted mascara. Disappointing! :(
1The sample size was appaling and made it extremely difficult to use the wand. I'm not sure how they expected us to use the wand the way it is intended and not smudge it all over our lashes and eyelids.
I felt like there wasn't much mascara in the tube (I know it's a sample!) and therefore did not notice much of a difference between the before and after mascara.
I have read a few other reviews that state when you buy the full size there are different wands and it works much better. They may need to change their sample size to give the consumers a better idea of their product and may increase their sales.
I actually loved the cute little bottle that the sample came in. But that is where the love stopped. I have fairly thick, long lashes, but they are blonde so I depend on something to really coat and build them up. This mascara is very thin and does not offer good coverage or layers. I am a Benefit or L'Oreal mascara user and this product did not wow me enough to convince me to change.
1It was a bad month in my Birchbox. This product kept with my disappointment. The sample was really dry and cakey and when I applied it my eyes started burning. I'm starting to wonder if the samples sent are expired. I received another mascara 3 months ago that also seemed old. I'm not really sure why I attempted to apply this one.
