Hi! Sorry about the no posts - i've been in Ibiza for a week and then had a week of recovery!!hehe
Anyway, I got this mascara free when i bought my revlon colourstay foundation. I mistakenly bought the waterproof one but i only use it for the gym and swimming now so it's less of an issue.
Firstly... the packaging. This mascara has one of the most classy packaging out of all drugstore mascaras in my opinion. If i use it near friends they think it's a Dior or higher brand mascara. However, after a while of being stored in a drawer with other mascaras and eyeliners, the gold band around the top chips around the edges maing it look scruffy. (Although obviously this wouldn't happen if i stroed it more carefully!)
Then the brush is one of those with different length bristles. When you pull it out you do often get excess product on the tip of the brush, although not enought to have to wipe it somewhere (if you've ever had one like that i'm sure you know how annoying it is!). I find that the brush reaches all of my lashes and separates well. It does give me some volume and length in equal measure which is why i like it. It's not too dramatic so perfect for sport or even everyday, but i wouln't say it was a 'going out' mascara.
I also hoped that the waterproof formula would hold a curl better in my lashes but i find it a bit too thick and heavy so instead it just weights down my lashes. It does crumble on me as well after a few hours, but that could just be because it needs replacing!!
I've seen this mascara for £5.99 on ebay, and it's £8.31 in Boots. I would recommend this mascara if you can get it free with your foudation, or if you an find it a bit cheaper than the RRP, because eight pounds for a gym mascara is a bit pricy for me. I don't think i will replace this mascara when it has run out as i think there are many drugstore products which are cheaper and would give similar results.
That's all for now - sorry i can't include a photo, my mum's gone on holiday with my camera!
