 THE VERDICT:

Bobbi Brown's Long Wear Eye Makeup Collection comes with a new mascara called Intensifying Long- Wear. It comes in a lightweight, compact, and gorgeous gunmetal tube. According to Bobbi Brown online:

Our longest-lasting mascara not only delivers lush, thick lashes but can stand up to the elements (and even a few tears) for up to 16 hours. For maximum volume and results, we've designed a new brush with unique bristles that easily reaches small lashes and instantly builds lashes without clumping. Best of all? There's no need for an eye makeup remover, because Intensifying Long-Wear Mascara washes off effortlessly with warm water.

 As you can see, the wand is quite thin. I think this is the thinnest brush wand I've ever seen. It has even spacing, which makes it a great lengthening brush. Its compact size helps it reach lashes on the innermost corners of the eyes, and the micro bristles leave no lash unnoticed.

Check out how it fared on my lashes:

 Bare lashes

 One coat

 Two coats

 Three coats

I find that this is more of a defining mascara than a volumizing one. It makes each lash look leaner, but doesn't make it look thicker. The formula feels light, and it works so well in the lengthening department. The smooth, mousse- like texture of the mascara prevents it from clumping on your lashes. Drying time is quick, and it doesn't streak nor smear during wear yet it dissolves easily in water, although I still use Shu Uemura's cleansing oil to remove it to make sure that everything is removed.

I love volumizing mascaras but I also appreciate defining ones like this especially on normal days, when I just feel like wearing a lightweight formula. I recommend it to girls who have dense lashes but thin hair strands.
