I’ve been using this mascara for awhile now and I’ve really been enjoying it. Most of the time during the summer I like to keep my beauty routine pretty simple – mascara, lip gloss, and blush. Because of that I really like how this mascara makes my eyes look bigger – without a lot of effort.

This is a two step mascara – the base coat is white and lengthens your lashes (the website says up to 40%), while the black top coat provides the volume (up to 6x according to the site). I found that it did add length and volume, and made my lashes look great.

One of the things that I really like about it is that it doesn’t clump when you put it on. I’ve tried other two step mascaras and it’s just a mess when you try to apply the second step, but this one applies really well.

I was telling a friend about it and one of her concerns was that the top coat wouldn’t cover up the white first coat. I told her though that it covers really well and you don’t have to worry about walking around with white lashes.

This formula is available in washable and waterproof, as well as two colors, black and brownish black. Check it out at your local drugstore.
