A large percentage of my bookings are for weddings so when I’m testing a new mascara I really put it through its paces. I need to know that not only will it last all day whatever the weather, but that it will survive the potential tears and a night on the dance floor too! Arbonne describe this as a high-performance lengthening mascara that helps create the look of ultra-dramatic lashes with major longitude. Clinically tested and formulated to be water-resistant and long wearing. This mascara certainly does have a lengthening effect and the wand is good at grabbing all the lashes, but it isn’t particularly thickening (I needed about 3 coats to get my desired thickness). Worn normally the mascara lasted all day with no smudging or flaking. I’m not sure about ‘ultra dramatic’, but I’d say this mascara pretty much does what it says on the tin. Now, time to put it to the test...exercise! I did a few 7k bicycle rides in ‘normal’ weather conditions and it survived completely unscathed. Running wasn’t so successful; the first couple of times the mascara smudged and flaked on my lower lid, so I tried again with mascara just on the top lashes. This was obviously better but still resulted in some smudging and flaking, so I’m not certain it’d last through tears. I used this mascara for 3 months to properly see the testing through and one thing I did notice when I switched back to my usual mascara is that my lashes seemed to have grown longer! I’m not sure if this was a coincidence but if not, it’s a major selling point they are missing out on. The big question; would I buy/recommend this mascara? This mascara isn’t cheap, but if you prefer a lengthening mascara and are thinking of/already using a serum to help your lashes grow then I would definitely recommend giving this a go. Personally though, I’m going to stick with my favourite Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme.
