This is a review on the YSL Volume
Effect Faux Cils Mascara and the YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Shocking Mascara.
Both mascaras have been out for quite some time now, and I have used them both
for a reasonable amount of time to be able to review these products. This
review is based on my opinions and my opinions only therefore your experience
with this product may not be the same as mine :)
YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Mascara
This is one of my favourite mascaras
of all time and is definitely a must have product of mine as this product makes
my lashes look AMAZING. This mascara comes in a gorgeous gold tube packaging
that looks super luxurious and I could definitely look at it all day! It
has a very pleasant floral scent, which I like but some of you who are
sensitive to scented products may be discouraged by the strong floral scent.
The formula is lovely as it does a really good job in the lengthening and
volumising department and also is great at separating your lashes. This mascara
does spread and separate your lashes evenly which is always nice and is very
black (deep black) in colour. This mascara coats all of your lashes evenly
and doesn't make your lashes clumpy which is always a plus (which i like) as
you won't get spider looking lashes! It is also very good for layering and
adding multiple coats as it evenly coats each lashes thinly, but honestly, 1
coat makes all the difference to my lashes. Some bloggers have talked about
their mascara flaking and smudging, I haven't had any problems with both
flaking or smudging both in winter or summer, but the downside to this mascara
is of course the hefty price tag as well as how fast this mascara dries up. In
my experience, this mascara dries up in about 2-3 months; therefore
repurchasing this mascara every 2-3 months with the hefty price tag is always
hard and can only be done when you can splurge on a high end product. This
mascara is great for the day time when you want a natural false eyelash effect,
as it gives you the effect of having false eyelashes without the extra step or
pain of putting them on ^.^
As this mascara is a high-end mascara
it is definitely on the pricy side for a mascara costing $52 AUD, definitely a
splurge. Although it is very pricy, I personally believe that it is worth the
money.
YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Shocking Mascara
I was very excited when the Shocking
mascara came out, as I was a big fan of the original Faux Cils mascara. This
mascara also comes in the same gold tube packaging as the original Faux Cils
mascara, but has the word "shocking" written on the tube. I knew I
wasn't a very big fan of very bold and dramatic looking eyelashes but I gave it
a go and ended up disappointed :(. This mascara is definitely more of a nigh
time friendly mascara which is much more clumpier and dramatic looking than the
original Faux Cils, therefore if you are a fan of clumpier/dramatic looking
lashes, this mascara may be for you. I have seen my friends use this mascara
and it looks GORGEOUS on them, so I am disappointed that I didn't get the same
results as them. This mascara gives your lashes a great voluminous effect and
also lengthens your lashes at the same time, you will definitely not need false
eye lashes with this mascara! For me, it was just far too thick and clumpy
looking and gave the spider lash effect, which is something that I hate, on top
of that my lashes didn't end up separating as well as the original faux Cils,
and it was a total mess. This mascara is also the same price as the original
Faux Cils, at $52 AUD, which again is very expensive and also dries up pretty
quickly like the original Faux Cils mascara. I will honestly say that I will
not be repurchasing this mascara, it was clump city for me and I didn't have a
good experience with this.
To sum it all up, both the mascaras
are on opposite ends of the scale for me. I loved the original Faux Cils but
ended up very disappointed with the Shocking mascara. I know that so many
people raved about the Shocking mascara but for me, it didn't work out. Both mascaras are definitely not cheap for mascaras but i do believe that the original Faux Cils is worth the splurge.
Please let me know your thoughts on
these mascaras if you have tried them.
