MY OPINION
Big and Beautiful
LovelyDoll Mascara brings images of wide-eyed thick fluttery doll eyelashes.
I know no mascara does that but at least something close. With the cute shiny
pink packaging and the wand with the ball end, I was hoping quite a lot.
It’s such a disappointment that the mascara is not even close
to being awesome. It is pretty ordinary. And it’s really sad since I love all Astor
products that I have reviewed on my blog.
The mascara has a brush with a ball tip at the end
specifically to lift and curl the lashes with it. I have to say the concept is pretty
interesting and to a certain extent it works, it does not curl (I use a lash
curler beforehand) but it does lift and makes the ends fluttery. However, the mascara formula itself is not
effective enough to give either good volume or length. It only separates lashes and works as a nice everyday mascara when you do not want any oomph.
I also have trouble applying the mascara with this ball
brush. The ball keeps interfering with the regular brush, and I cannot get to
all my lashes without wiggling my eyes here and there, which takes forever,
unless I want the ball to poke me in the eye or smudge my nose.
I have applied two coats in the swatch below. It doesn't clump badly, which is good. If you have already long and thick lashes and just
want a natural mascara this might work for you then, because it doesn't flake
or smudge once it has dried and does makes lashes noticeable. Also it could be combined with a voluminous mascara and the ball tip used to give a fluttery look at the ends.
