PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: LOVE AND BEAUTY MASCARA IN BLACK

Here's an initial review on LOVE AND BEAUTY MASCARA IN BLACK

PRICE: AROUND 125PHP

PLACE BOUGHT: F21 SM MAKATI

OTHER LOCATIONS: F21 SM MEGAMALL

THE VERDICT:

Being the mascara junkie that I am, I picked this up even though I still have 10 more tubes to empty. I'm also a sucker for bargains. I've had a fairly good experience with their Leopard cheek color, so I don't see the reason why I shouldn't try more of their dirt cheap products.

For a 125php mascara, this one looks more expensive than its actual price, which I think is a good thing. Tube is kinda' chubby, but lightweight.

There is also a rose detail on the top of the cap.

It only says mascara, and it didn't say if it's meant to lengthen or volumize lashes. So if you're planning to pick this up, good thing you read my entry first because you'll guess no more. This mascara volumizes lashes.

Here's a pic of the wand.

The consistency of the mascara is silky and a bit wet. So I suggest that you wait for the first coat to dry for a while before layering another one. Otherwise, you'll just waste your time trying to make this mascara work. It also has this sharp scent that puts me off.

It did add some volume on my lashes. However, staying power is not good. At the end of the day, I see smudges on my under eyes. Not cool. I suggest that you apply an eye primer first if you have

oily lids like me.

I certainly won't buy this ever again. I'm not expecting it to be great since it's only 125php. But I'm expecting that it would be at least pretty fine (and that's not even good!) considering that it's from a known brand.
