One of the first makeup product that I fell in love with was a Mascara, followed by lipsticks. It can add so much glamor to your face and won't cost a bomb but it sometimes underrated too. Mascaras can brighten up your face instantly and can definitely pop your eyes out.
A mascara needs to be updated every 6 months in your vanity because there are high chances of developing an eye infection due to the accumulation of bacteria on the bristles.This is something I adhere to without fail because I cannot take chances when it comes to my eyes. So when my 6 months stint with Faces Mascara was over, I tried my hands on NYX XXL Mascara for which I have mixed opinions so far and let us move on to the review.
What NYX claims?
Packaging of NYX XXL Lush Lashes Mascara:
I fell in love with the black & burgundy color packaging instantly and grabbed the tester to try it out on me when it suddenly struck me that it could be an old tester. I put it back in its place and picked up a new one and put it inside my shopping bag without trying the tester out. I totally believed that it would be good, brought it home and immediately tried it to realize that I had taken a risky, yet good decision.
The wand has intricate bristles and the bristles are kind of split into 2 sections in the ratio 3:1. The tiny portion at the end is probably for the lower lashes as well as the smaller lashes at the inner corners of the eye.
Texture and staying power of NYX XXL Lush lashes Mascara:
The texture of the mascara is quite thick and creamy, which involves us in being extra cautious while removing the wand from the tube. I take time in removing the excess mascara from the wand and go ahead to coat my lashes lavishly with the mascara and slightly press them in order to create a curled up effect.
With the left over in the wand, I apply mascara onto my lower lashes and clean the extra using a Q-tip. The mascara sometimes tends to club lashes together but you need to pay attention and separate them out to achieve a thick, luscious effect.The wand is not good enough for lower lashes because it tends to smudge on the under eye area.I love how it can make your lashes really thick and at the same time natural.
The mascara stays in tact for 7 hours and it did not cause any fall of my lashes, which is a great plus point.I am not sure if it is waterproof but I could easily wash it off with face wash. It contains collagen which nourishes the lashes and I have not had any irritations till now.Removing the mascara was a very easy task and I did not observe any fall of my lashes.
