Collection 2000 'Eye Me Up' Mascara

First Impressions:
As you know I am quite particular about mascara, I love long thick lashes but now it seems as from some of the Autumn/Winter catwalk shows the emphasis is now on shorter ‘spider-web’ lashes.

This mascara is small which is convenient, makes you think it might not be as effective, however the brush is not a traditional brush, its referred to as a ‘skinny wand’ – there are no big bristles (which are likely to clump) the wand itself, I believe is a very good way of separating the lashes and achieving a more defined result.

Application
This mascara needs good 2-3 swoops to achieve its best which is fine as the wand is economical with the liquid, there making it last longer and also avoiding over-application. So its good for your eyes and your pockets! :D

Likes&Dislikes
I love the wand as its very effective, economical and bendy too to achieve a fabulous shape.
I would like it to be waterproof though (as do a lot of pollen/hayfever sufferers I guess!)  

Price
As it is not on the Cosmetic Kingdom website yet, I did some research and average RRP is around £1.00-3.00

Rating
I would definitely use this mascara again, it ticks all the boxes, and the non- waterproofness is only a minor dealbreaker ;-)
