Review: Yves Saint Laurent Faux Cils Mascara



I've been now using this mascara every day for about a week.. maybe a little less. And I absolutely LOVE it. I am so thrilled that I decided to give it a try. And I believe this could possibly be my new favorite mascara. I really don't have many favorites, I feel all mascaras are the same. I like to apply coat after coat of mascara until they look a certain way.. which is achievable with almost any volumizing mascara if you take the time to keep applying coats. SO, let me tell you what I liked about this product!

It
lengthens and gives amazing volume. I keep applying it to my lashes until they reach my desired look. I think this is the 1st mascara I've owned that you don't have to wait to apply a second coat, you can keep applying, and your lashes will continue to look bigger and bigger WITHOUT clumping together! I find that with a lot of volumizing mascaras, if you keep applying, you will get short, fat lashes that sometimes stick together. But this is absolutely wonderful. It has a fresh fragrance that to me smells like a really good smelling hairspray or facial cream. Kind of like lilacs? I don't mind the smell at all. I love it in fact. I can actually smell it on my lashes. (Once i get use to it, I probably won't anymore) And this mascara actually curls my lashes a bit.. and holds the curl of my lashes. It is crucial for me right now to have a great mascara because in the past few months, I've had eye lash extensions which PULLED OUT ALL OF MY LASHES! I use to have pretty sparse lashes.. now, they're so tiny and flimsy. They use to be strong, now they're so brittle. But I know with time they will go back to the way they were. I actually received a compliment on my lashes by a gal at the local drugstore a couple days ago and I stood there for like 10 mins giving her mascara recommendations. And, my (soon to be) little niece asked me if I was wearing fake eye lashes (because I do most of the time) and I wasn't, just my Faux Cils Mascara :) And that really wow's me because even when my lashes were longer and healthier I never got compliments on my lashes! Oh yeah, and when I let my friend use it, she was like Whoa!! What mascara is this!? So yeah, this mascara kicks ass!!! haha

*Update: I stopped using this as my every day mascara because it transfers to my under eyes every few hours :( Why oh why????!
