MASCARA VOLUME EFFET FAUX CILS SHOCKING – Voluminous Mascara for a False Lash Effect

From:  http://www.sephora.com – $30.00

What it is:
A mascara that exaggerates lashes with excess volume from every angle.

What it does:
Exclusive to YSL, the amplified helix brush provides instant volume to the lashes. The slim brush design allows for perfect control and precision and the off-center twist enhances length and curl. The beautifully creamy formula with pro-vitamin B5 coats each lash evenly, creating a thick and lustrous fringe with a wet look.

Quick Take:

YSL is an iconic line and it makes me sad to write this, but the only part of this mascara that I liked was the packaging.

My first problem was that it smelled like dying flowers.  The scent was so strong that it made my eyes tear up.  The mascara does make the eyelashes longer, but it is very thick and the brush doesn’t separate the lashes at all, so they stick together and it looks as if you have three wide lashes on each eye. No one will notice the length, just how odd your eyes look.

I have NEVER had a mascara, not even the least expensive drug store brand, clump like this mascara does.  It was on the eyelid, under the eye, on the fingers, just a mess.  I had to comb my lashes with every single use to get remaining clumps out and this is something I really don’t like to do…and never had to do before with other mascaras.

A very expensive mascara that is not even worth a drug store brand price.
