Katie wrote a fabulous review and as a result I've been um-ing and ah-ing ever since about taking the plunge and trying it for myself. I'm a dedicated Bourjois fanatic when it comes to my mascara and though I have a vast collection of Benefit cosmetics gracing my dresser drawer, a bad experience with 'Bad Gal Lash' has scarred me and put me off Benefit's mascara range.
I have been using Bourjois' Liner Effect mascara for what seems like an age now and I love it. The different sized bristles and fabulous deep black colour makes it easy to achieve amazing length and coverage, right down to the root. However, I do find myself wishing that the wand had a rounded tip to make it easier to get into the corner of the eyes and open them up.
Now I think I've finally found the answer!
When popping into Superdrug on my lunch break last week I habitually walked straight to the make-up aisle (I had gone in for a bottle of water, which is found on the other side of the shop, yet my legs seems to go into autopilot when near a make-up display...). I suddenly spotted a sexy little cerise tube winking at me from the Bourjois stand and couldn't resist investigating further.
It turns out that Bourjois have released a new product onto the market, meet Bourjois' 'Volume Glamour Max Definition' mascara.
This fabulous little product also features the shorted, thinner bristles which I adore with my Liner Effect mascara but, wait for it, they have added A BALL TIP!! I could not believe my luck, it is a clever little hybrid which means I can stick with the jet-black colour, smooth and even liquid and 'clump free' formula from my current Liner Effect mascara and still have the all important ball-tip wand of Benefit's 'They're Real' mascara!
I rushed over to the checkout (totally forgetting all about my water) and was pleasantly surprised when the promotional price of just £6.49 popped up on the till! Bargain!
This mascara will retail at £9.49 full price after the introductory offer, but that is still a very reasonable price for such a long-lasting and reliable product! (It is still currently on promotion in stores and online if you want to nab one before they go up!)
I have included a picture below of my lashes - all natural, no extensions or infills - with the new 'Volume Glamour Max Definition' mascara. It is worth noting that I am not wearing any eye liner, neither kohl nor liquid, in the picture. The top and lower lash lines are accentuated as you can use the short bristles to get incredibly close to the lash root and this gives a 'liner effect'...the same as their previous product.
I am used to using the longer bristles of the Liner Effect mascara and so have needed a little practise to get used to the shorted bristles of this new wand, but I do find that these shorter bristles really do meet the claims to seperate and lengthen your lashes to give amazing definition.
The tip of the wand makes it incredibly easy to get to the smaller inner lashes of your eyes, and to highlight your lower lashes without clumping or over-loading.
This mascara also contains black pearl extract for luminous, dark colour and natural wax which protects and fortifies, so it not only looks great but also nourishes and cares for your lashes too!!
I am so thrilled with my new purchase. Not only can I play it safe and stick to my old faithful Bourjois mascara, but I also have a product which ticks every box!
Volume Glamour Max Definition mascara is suitable for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes.
