Clinique High Impact Mascara, 01 Black, 0.28 oz

Mascara Review: Disappointing Results Despite the Hype ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5 Stars) I had high hopes for this mascara after seeing so many positive reviews, but unfortunately, it just didn’t work for me. Formula & Application: The formula felt a bit too wet right out of the tube, which made application messy and prone to clumping. I found it hard to build volume without my lashes sticking together. Even with just one coat, it was easy to go from defined to spidery very quickly. Brush Design: The brush was a let down. I ended up with smudges on my eyelid almost every time I applied it. Wear & Performance: This mascara didn’t hold a curl well, and after a few hours, I noticed some flaking under my eyes. It wasn’t terrible, but I expect better longevity—especially for the price. Smudging wasn’t a major issue, but the overall wear just felt underwhelming. Removal: On the bright side, it came off easily with micellar water and didn’t irritate my eyes. That’s one of the few things I appreciated. Final Thoughts: This mascara might work for someone looking for a more natural look or who has naturally thick lashes, but it just didn’t deliver the volume or definition I was looking for. I won’t be repurchasing, but it wasn’t a total fail—just not the right fit for me.
