Heroine Make Impact Frame & Curl Mascara Review

In the previous post about the Heavy Rotation Maxi Lash Mascara N, I mentioned my disappointment and lack of enthusiasm for it.  As such, I pretty much immediately opened the other mascara in my "yet to use" stock, hoping it would live up to my expectations.  And it did to some point, but again, it is not a mascara I would run out to buy again.

The mascara I am talking about is the Heroine Make Impact Frame & Curl Mascara.  It claims to "Lift Your Lashes to New Heights", is waterproof (definitely a plus in my books), contains chamomile and camellia oil extracts for healthy and strong lashes and creates beautiful lashes with no clumps.  Now I would agree with everything it claims except for the no clumps.  The formula of the mascara is very wet and with the unique two sided brush, it tends to clump up my lashes and makes me look like I have a very few, but thick eyelashes - not a look that I am going for.  Maybe I used it correctly, but I didn't find that it separated my lashes.

On the plus side, it does hold my curled lashes really well and didn't make them droop down immediately like the Heavy Rotation Maxi Lash Mascara N did.  It also made my lashes look thicker, bit maybe that was because my lashes were clumped together?  I'm not sure.
But I think I will stick to my trusty Covergirl Lash Blast Volume mascara in waterproof in future. Although I have heard great things about the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara too - I might have to give that one a try!

Heavy Rotation Maxi Lash Mascara N Review

After a long while sitting in my makeup storage, I finally tried the Heavy Rotation Maxi Lash Mascara N today.  And it was disappointing to say the least.

The mascara contains black fibers which is suppose to give you long lashes, but didn't find that it did anything for my upper lashes, it certainly didn't do anything to keep my curled lashes.  As soon as I put the mascara onto my curled lashes, they instantly dropped and didn't look like they were lengthened at all.  I tried putting on more coats of the mascara to see if that helps with the lengthening, but it just made my lashes drop even more.  I usually use waterproof mascara to keep my lashes curled, so I guess that shouldn't have been a surprise.
I wouldn't recommend this mascara to anyone unless you have naturally curled lashes.  For me, I'll just have to use it on my bottom lashes, simply to use it up and not waste my money.  I was really disappointed.
