Taylor Swift endorses this new Covergirl Natureluxe mascara which claims a lightweight formula with a touch of beeswax for 2 times more volume - here's my review :)
Shades available:
- Black brown.
- Very black - is the shade I picked up.
- Black.
- Brown.
- Very black (water resistant)
- Black (water resistant)
This mousse mascara comes packaged slightly differently from the usual mascara tubes. The wand is packed separately and not inside the bottle. You have to remove/discard the cap and then replace it with the wand-cap. I guess the purpose is so that the wand can be seen properly, and as a marketing strategy, it sure worked for me :D On to the wand itself, this is my favorite kind, with stiff bristles that help get even coats and definition without the clumps.
Actual Performance: This is a very light weight mascara, and the wand picks up just the required quantity of mascara without the goopy mess. On my eyes, one coat made hardly any difference. I needed two coats to get it to show some effect, but I didn't have any clumping even at this stage. It washes off easily enough with soap and water, and since I hardly ever purchase waterproof eye makeup, this is a good thing for me. Waterproof version of the same mascara is also available for those who prefer that.
On my eyes:

Note: Since I am perpetually confused and confusing, by left and right I mean the left and right of the photo :P :P :P |
You might want to look elsewhere, though, if you want a more dramatic effect in terms of volume and like the mascara to deliver with just one coat - you would find this mascara a little too lightweight.

Cost: $7.99

It is a bit too light, Vonnie :)
ReplyDeletecovergirl packs all its mascaras in this way- I really like that... I think I'll pass this though!
ReplyDeleteYa..I noticed that - is quite different from the usual ones I have seen :) Which mascara do you like among the drugstore brands?
ReplyDeleteThe beeswax formula does sound promising but, I NEED the volume. I have super thin, almost no lashes :D
ReplyDeleteHehheee..well then this is not for you :)
ReplyDeleteThis mascara looks so cuute...green green..he he he....but you are right..it might be good for everyday office wear kinds....
ReplyDeleteAnd for people who are just starting with makeup/mascara - so they don't feel like they are suddenly putting on too much :D
ReplyDeleteThis just might be what I've been looking for. I (thankfully) have good lashes and getting the really volumizing or lengthening mascaras makes me look overdone really fast. I just want some definition and brightening of the lashes.
ReplyDeleteHii Dharti...this might be great for you then..give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteWHat a lovely mascara......I found its dupe from their own sister brand Max Factor in India called Xperience...they have the same content and what a fantastic mascara.
ReplyDeleteUr lashes look so amazing. Gr8 product.

ReplyDeleteHi Neeraj..Max Factor does make some great products - I have tried one of their mascaras - forgot the name - but that had a similar wand but a little bigger and it was quite good too.
ReplyDeleteTaps - Never tried the Lotus mascaras..are they good?
Priya - You will love it..you need baby steps mascara :D :D like how I need baby steps eyelash curling :D
Gaea - Great Lash? I always wanted to try it just because of the crazy colours :D
Shweta - Ohh..this might be too light for you then..
Rads I have reviewed lotus herbals botanical mascara on IMBB , you can check that out, effect is really great but its not waterproof !though waterproof is mentioned in the cover!
ReplyDeleteWill check you review there, Taps..guess I missed it or forgot about it..:( I love water-removable products, but if they have written "waterproof" on the cover and don't live up that, it would be a problem, I think :|
ReplyDeleteIts the Define a Lash one from Maybelline - its just the bright green packaging :D
ReplyDelete-Gaea
baby steps mascara....:(( mummmyyyy.......
ReplyDeleteYes! :P :P
ReplyDeletePEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEYA...check mail :D
ReplyDeletewould you be able to tell me if the nature luxe mousse mascara is water-based or oil-based?
ReplyDeleteIt has beeswax in it, so oil-based? Am not too sure, but you could check the ingredients list photo to get a better idea. I have the water-removable version..not the waterproof version, so there might be some differences in the ingredients.
