What interested me most was that the resins are supposed to be resistant to the skin's natural oils - which really is my biggest issue with mascaras, even waterproof ones. As the day goes on, my eye area becomes oily and acts as a natural makeup remover which means my liner smears, eyeshadow disappears and my mascara will start to smudge and flake. This is the first mascara I've ever seen that specifically addresses this issue and I'm happy to report that it absolutely worked - after a full day my mascara was only where it was supposed to be - my lashes. Just keep in mind that you have to use an oil based remover to get it off, even though it's not waterproof.
The only real negative I have for this mascara is the tube, it's slippery as hell! Get a good grip on the wand when applying or it will go flying out of your hand! My husband actually roughed up the outside for me with a piece of sandpaper - I'm such a spaz that there was no way I could keep hold of it - if CoverGirl is reading this, some tube texture would be very helpful for those less co-ordinated ones amongst us (no insult intended I mean me)!

ReplyDeleteHolly,xo
I actually really like a large brush, but I hate having to use oil based make up removers, such a pain!
ReplyDeleteI have the same issue with mascara, so this is definitely intriguing. The brush looks workable, though sometimes these wands get too big. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat review, thanks. :]
I put this on once and never again, it was sooo hard to take off.
ReplyDeleteEver since Urban Decay stopped selling the Waterproof Big Fatty mascara, I've been looking for a replacement... how would you compare this one to the Urban Decay, if you tried the UD one?
ReplyDeleteI never tried the UD - I usually avoid mascara's with the big brushes - I make a total mess with them!
