Review: Mascara-Bourjois Volumizer.

Time to get back on the post writing wagon. This is a review :)

I bought this mascara acutally before Christmas but I've only just got round to writing about it! It's by Bourjois; a brand more famous for its chocolate bronzer and healthy mix foundation, but, I read about this on Sara Walker's blog, she also has a Youtube channel (SWalkerMakeup). She really loved it and it looked great on her, so I decided to pick it up and try it out too! :)

The mascara has a two-step system; one, smaller, thinner brush for adding more length (in my opinion) and a second, bigger, fatter brush for volume and intensity. I love the first brush. Alone it's a little TOO subtle, unless you really felt like wearing nothing but a tiny bit of mascara, then it would be perfect by itself. The second step is good too and adds a great amount of volume..however, the only thing I dislike about this mascara is on the second brush, half of the mascara in the tube must come out every single time. If I don't scrape off all sides of the second mascara wand, then the mascara looks horribly clumpy and makes your lashes look sparse and generally not nice. It's a bit of a pain to do that every time, however, once you have, you get a great effect. The main thing I noticed in this mascara was how good it was at seperating and lengething lashes. It's nothing paticularly special for volumizing, for me at least.

This mascara retails at £10.49-one of the priciest drugstore mascaras I've come across..and honestly..I'd rather add another £5 on and get an amazing Clinique one instead, because I don't think it's worth that much. Something like Maybelline Collossal I would happily pay that much for, but hmmm..not sure about this one really..

Product: 3/5.

Packaging: 4/5.

Price: 2.5/5

Overall..it's a nice mascara..but I don't think I'll be repurchasing it. Nice idea though. I think I'll look at some other, similar mascaras that feed off of the 2 wands idea. :)

Thanks for reading :)
