So, it has been a long time since I last did a beauty post (or any post at all for that matter) and I figured a great product to review would be a Bourjois mascara. I'm a huge fan of Bourjois, and frankly, they are my favourite drugstore brand (don't judge me much). So, here it is, my new Twist Me Up mascara.
1. Application: This mascara comes with a pretty unusual applicator. As we all know, Bourjois are quite fond of nifty applicators (Volume Fast&Perfect mascara with the rotating motorizd brush) This brush however is controlled manually, haha. It has a twist mechanism installed in the cap and two brush positions. Here they are.
Step 1 |
Position number one separates your lashes, and gives you defined legth (as promised in the description).
Step 2 |
Position number two gives you oversized volume (also, as promised in the description).
2. Clumping, definition, and how long it lasted: I was so pleased with my lashes after applying this mascara. I honestly never thought they could look so long. But what I'm most satisfied with is how long it lasts. Most drugstore brands promise 12-24h. and a waterproof effect, and well, correct me if I'm wrong but that's just a load of poo (and I'm really trying to sugar-coat it here..). The Bourjois Twist Up the Volume Mascara made no such promises and nevertheless lasted me the whole day, no smuges or anything. I made a little experiment and splashed some water over my eyes - it didn't run all over my face. So overall I'm so pleased with it.
Verdict: I'll be buying it again. And again. And then hm, I hope I don't get bored of it, but still. It's absolutely worth every penny. For the price of 9 pounds it's an absolute bargain! I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for a drugstore mascara. It's definitely better than the Maybelline one I had, and also, I like the pretty packaging. I'll be uploading a picture in a few hours, for you to see how it works :)
Think I may just give this a go, looks amazing. I like it when mascaras are inventive instead of being a total novelty! X
