Good Points
Volumises and lengthens lashes, available in many shades.
Bad Points
There are two steps, so this is not the mascara to choose if you have little time to apply makeup before going out.
General Comments
I saw the Bourjois Maxi Frange mascara whilst out shopping and decided to try it. I did not believe for one second that my lashes would end up like the lashes of the model in the picture, but thought that the mascara could not be any worse than the one I had just 'invested' in. I got home and decided to try the mascara. The first step is a white-cream coloured liquid which is applied to lashes using a very fine comb. I was amazed - it physically lengthened my lashes to double their normal length, and I still had not applied step two. Next, I applied the black coat with a thick, roller-style volumising brush. It worked wonders. My lashes, despite my doubt, now looked exactly like the model's. The only flaw I could find with this mascara was that it took several well-applied coats of black (or another chosen shade) to completely cover the creamy white coat, and if you are not careful, you will end up going out with white streaks or spots on your gorgeous, thick and long eyelashes. However, don't be put off from buying this mascara! It is truly the best mascara I have ever tried, and is most probably the best on the market at the moment.
