Beauty Product Reviews

I purchased this mascara as part of a set from Yves Saint Laurent that featured the mascara, the Touche Eclat, a black waterproof eyeliner, and a small bottle of makeup remover. I purchased the set while I was traveling in Scotland, so I'm completely clueless as to whether or not the set is/was available in the States. I will get straight to the point - this mascara produces an absolutely breathtaking effect on my eyelashes. It's the perfect amount of lengthening and thickening, and is so easy to apply due to the fact that it has absolutely no clumping tendencies. It's not an extremely dry formula, nor is it wet to the point where it's messy to apply and it certainly will hold a curl. I have, however, noticed one problem with it, yet I'm unsure as to whether or not I'm the only one who's had this problem, because I don't see it mentioned in any of the previous reviews. By the time I've had the mascara on for seven hours, I notice serious flaking and a little bit of smudging underneath my eyes. I do not have oily skin, and I've never had problems with mascaras smudging under my eyes in the past, so it leads me to think that it's the mascara that is causing this and not an issue regarding oil on my skin. Regardless, I am willing to wipe away the smudges and touch up as soon as I notice problems because of how incredible the effect that this product gives my lashes is. I highly recommend it to anyone who is willing to spend the money on an excellent mascara.
