Mascaras have always been the staple product in my makeup
collection. I always try to have two types of mascara on hand; one for volume,
the other for length. Whilst the ideal situation would certainly be to have one
mascara which does both, sadly, I still have yet to find that ideal one.
With claims of being able to magnify lashes for 13x more
volume (wonder how they determine it to be 13x) and provide all day lasting
curl, I was pretty skeptical with the mascara. After all, I always turn to the good
ole Maybelline mascara whenever I’m out for new mascara. However, I was pleasantly
surprised by the volume the L’Oreal Curl Impact Collagene mascara gives. Though
I wasn’t impressed by its curling effect, I really enjoyed the extra volume
from the mascara.
After trying it for a few months, I find that in order to achieve the curl, I definitely need to give my lashes a good curl before and after applying one or two coats of this mascara. I find that
only with this step, my lashes can hold its curl for longer period of time. One thing to beware is that this mascara clumps like nobody's business when over applied.
What I like:
- Volume
- Really black color
What I dislike:
- It clumps like crazy when over applied
- Doesn't hold its curl
Overall, though I do like the mascara, I wouldn’t say that
it will go into my holy grail list anytime soon.
Have you tried this mascara? What is your holy grail mascara?
