| Ever Bilena Volum Curl Mascara Wand |
My favorite drugstore mascara: the Maybelline Hypercurl Volum' Express Mascara recently went beyond it's usable state so I knew I had to pick up a replacement. I was thinking of grabbing another tube of it but then, while I was at the Watsons Store, I chanced upon an Ever Bilena kiosk and I saw their Volume Curl Mascara. With their black-pink packaging I thought they could be cousins - albeit EB's has a more magenta cap. They're at about the same price point, both *claim to be* waterproof and both are designed to add volume. In my playbook, running out of a certain product is a chance to try out another. So there, I picked up this Ever Bilena Volume Curl Waterproof with hopes that like the Maybelline Hypercurl Volum' Express Mascara I will get a bang for my buck. It turns out, like most products it has its pros and cons. Here's the rundown.

So I obviously love how this mascara curled my lashes. It brings volume, holds a curl and really opened up my eye. The big wand certainly helped in bringing the volume. It's also clump-free as you can see in the photo. I just didn't use it for my lower lashes because the wand is too big and I didn't want to end up with some mess. I also felt like I could poke my eye with it. LOL.
Look at this photo below. I took it at about 5 in the afternoon. That's about 8 hours of wear time already and my curls are still holding up, see? So I really have no complaints about its staying power or its lengthening or volumizing ability.
However, what I don't like about this product though is that there are times that I end up with dark, raccoon-like circles at the end of the day. It happens when the day is hot and my lids are sweaty. When the weather isn't so humid, there are barely any issues.
This mascara also takes a while to dry up after application so try not to bat your lashes right away because you know what's bound to happen. Waiting a whole good minute will do.
Being a waterproof product it's stubborn to remove with my Micellar water.
