Bourjois Volume Glamour

I decided to buy this mascara(the waterproof version) as it was an offer for 10 euros! I was between this one and the Maybelline Collosal(again waterproof)...which was sold for 15 euros...

The thing is, I am a little short on money so I could not buy my all time favorite Helena Rubinstein....

To the point now....

IT SUCKS! BIG TIME!

I have thin and kind of short, not curly lashes....The first time I tried to put on the mascara, I got mascara all over my eyelid... As the brush would not help and moreover I was utterly disappointed that the mascara would only just paint thinly my eyelashes, when having applied only the first coat....I had to reapply the mascara just to get a decent result!

The second time, I tried to lift my eyelid with my hand, following a more professional technique, that I had seen on a video on the new Max Factor mascara....by this blonde Max Factor make up artist... Things were better,but only on a bearable level! For this price(15 euros which is gonna be the normal price from now on), I would stick to the non-Waterproof Clinique High Impact Mascara...That gives better results, in less time and with no effort(literally) and that does not smudge or stain, even at the end of the day! Furthermore, I have a sample of it for one year now and it still has not dried out or finished(I use it once in a while, but I bet my head on it, that the Bourjois mascara, will have dried and will be rubbish, in about 4 months maximum, with the same rate of usage!)...

And when I get the money, I will buy my beloved Helena Rubinstein, that is a winner, especially for night time...............................

Absolutely love this bourjois volume glamour mascara! Im quite lucky to have naturally very curly eyelashes and so don't need to use a curl-promising mascara, however my eyelashes tend to fall out quite a lot leaving them looked sparce and quite thin. The brush on this mascara allows the mascara to glide on easily and seperates lashes while building them to look very voluminous. I've used a lot of mascaras in the past (usually rimmel) that have made my sensitive eyes water, or turn red... and i almost lost hope of finding one that were suited to my eyelashes until i came across this little beauty. Honestly the best mascara i've ever used and i can't imagine switching in the near future! Definitely worth a try!

I had to have a rethink on this one after my comment below, I had a reaction to it with my sensitive eyes, redness and stinging, this does happen with some brands, shame as I liked it but those with sensitive eyes may have the same problem.

Well I like the brush and the long wand they make application easy and the brush glides the mascara on nicely, I find no clumps with it and my eyelashes are not sticky or rock hard by the end of the day I can re-apply again for a touch up later and they do not get clumpy even than, all in all I really like this product and will be using it a long time I am sure.

Dont buy

Probably one of the best mascaras I have used and not that expensive. Gives you full lashes with a natural effect. not hard either eyelashes still soft.

I have trouble with this mascara due to sensitive eyes and the fact it crumbles into eyes. It has made my eyes sore however eyes do look good with this mascara. Worth buying if you don't have sensitive eyes or uncontrollable tear ducts.

Thank goodness - at last Bourjois have seen sense and brought back this mascara - for some reason they had stopped, but I am assuming that they had that made complaints that they brought it back - what a life saver!

I have never used such a good mascara, it lengthens, separates and makes your eyes look wide open, and the effect is superb. Thank you Bourjois, I will never need to use another mascara again, just don't go discontinuing it again, or there will be hell to pay!!!!!
