I cannot express how much I LOVE this product! I use it every day to achieve thick luscious lashes.
The powder looks like fine fibres, almost like ground up cotton wool.
After applying a layer of mascara, you dip the wand into the powder, apply the powder to your lashes, then apply a second coat of mascara on top of the lashes.
I would suggest using a cheap mascara to do the second coat as some of the powder sticks to the mascara wand and can end up making it a bit thick and clumpy. I use a cheaper Essence mascara for my second coat (costs about R30 a tube).
Also, when dipping the wand into the powder, I only dip the first third into the powder as I find that dipping the whole wand in tends to pick up too much powder.
Afterwards be sure to wipe off any powder that has settled onto your cheeks with a big powder brush!
Pros:
Great price
Super effective (when used correctly)
The bottle will last a long time as only a bit of powder is used at a time
Cons:
Can be tricky to master application
Is a bit messy - I get some fall out on my cheeks and hand mirror
I will be buying this again when it finally runs out and I highly recommend it to all of my friends!
