I have been using mascara here and there, often to just darken the tips of my lashes because I hate the clumpy look and the heavy feel. Without any particular requirement, I have used types such as basic black, brown shades, volumizers, lengtheners, waterproof (the rainy days can get tricky with mascara, but I hate these because I lose my lashes by the time I wash my face).
I was neither pleased nor unhappy with my many mascara brands. I used 1 or 2 brands at a time in no more than 6 months. Then I just replace with any new brand that I wanna try.
Now the search is over! I had the opportunity to try Urban Decay's Big Fatty Mascara. It is categorized as a Thickening and Lengthening Mascara, and I'm telling you, it is a game changer in the field of mascaras. Its brush is too pretty that it combs all your lashes no matter how thick or close together they are. The end result is a natural-looking lash but defined at the tips so they look longer. For some reason, I never had the need to put so much, it never gets clumpy, and it's very light. I do not have that feeling that I have bushy lashes if you know what I mean, like some mascaras make it annoying to blink.
Above are photos of the box and the brush up close. It is priced at 20USD. Urban Decay reformulated this and I think they redesigned the packaging too, but hey, this old one suits me great! How much more for a reformulated version?
The only problem I had with this mascara is that when you use it in places with hot weather, it does not dry up fast enough. So be very careful that you do not smear it after applying. It must have something to do with the oil in the formula. Nevertheless, I still love it because it lasts longer unlike other tubes which dry up so fast even before you use the entire bottle.
The box reads: "It's big, it's fat, it should be illegal. Infused with hemp oil, this mascara is a trip, taking lashes to a new realm where fantasy and reality collide. The big, fuzzy brush makes lashes look so full, so dreamy... so surreal! The creamy formula thickens, lengthens, and glosses lashes. Just one use, and you're addicted."
......and indeed, I am.
