Revlon Lash Potion

I have a little bit of a love hate relationship with mascara. It's something that I have to include in my daily make up routine, or else I look like an alien but at the same time it's one of those products where I'm often left feeling underwhelmed.

I actually picked up Revlon's Lash Potion on a bit of a whim. I had a coupon, I was shopping with my boyfriend ( we all know guys are so incredibly patient when browsing the cosmetic stands) and  I really just liked the packaging. I've since discovered that it comes in a waterproof version, which had I known at the time I probably would have gone with that. Oh well.

From the get go I was pretty impressed with this mascara. I opted for blackened brown which I think is dark enough to enhance your eyelashes for everyday wear but doesn't look as harsh as black sometimes can. The brush is a bristle brush which I love, plastic brushes are a definite no in my book. It's quite a big brush  but not too big to work with or risk poking yourself in the eye with. Plus it is a nice simple shape, no fuss or unusual ball shapes on the end that just gather product. It easily coats and seperates eyelashes and gives a good dose of length and volume without clumping or giving you spidery lashes. I feel like it makes my eye lashes look really long and full but not too much, and almost as if I'm naturally blessed in the eye lash department. I also really like the formula, it's not too wet when applying which is something I really dislike in a mascara.

 I've seen people say that they found this mascara smudged easily but I can honestly say I haven't experienced any of that or flaking. If you're on the hunt for a nice cheap and cheerful drugstore mascara then here you go.

If there were an award for incorporating the word 'eyelash' in to as many sentences as possible I think I would have just won.....
