************Update: Please go here to see how badly this mascara panned out**************
Rating; 3/5, available from lovelula for £11.90 + p&p
After finishing my beloved honeybee mascara I was on the lookout for something new that could fill the void and, potentially, usurp it. No. Such. Luck. The first application of this mascara was less effective than gently pressing my eyelashes and willing a dramatic curl while standing at the bus stop at 8am in the freezing cold after sleeping through my alarm . . . so, I waited for it to dry and layered, and repeated the process. . .
After 5 minutes of my apply-and-dry process I noticed an ever so slight difference but that observation may have been a result of staring at my own eye for 5 minutes. . .
To be honest, I wouldn't be so down on this mascara if it were advertised as a simple mascara. But it is called Intense volumising mascara. The packaging is fine, the mascara's easy to remove if you smudge, but the adjectives only go so far as the product title and there is no dazzling lift. But this is a preliminary review, maybe future applications will be more inspiring??
Allergy alert!! : One thing to note is that olus oil is listed as one of the ingredients and after a bit of web research it turns out that it's a vegetable oil than can be derived from a number of sources, including peanuts, so it's one to watch out for if you have allergies!!
