Can one mascara have it all? Bobbi Brown’s Dual Ended Mascara
Bobbi Brown Caviar & Oyster Collection Dual Ended Mascara
I have a serious eyelash problem. They are light brown/blond and they are short and they are straight. Go figure since the hair on my head is wavy/curly. They exist but when I have no makeup on but it would be difficult for you to believe that. I’m ALWAYS looking for the right mascara because in truth, I wear 2. One thickening formula and one lengthening formula. It’s annoying. AND I always need a small one to take with me because by noon my mascara is gone. I mean where does it go? Do my lashes absorb pigment? So frustrating.
I am ALWAYS trying new mascara’s. Cattiva’s Divino Lash is a favorite as is Josie Maran’s Go Go Lash (review to come!). But when I saw Bobbi Brown’s Dual Ended Mascara I thought, HEY this is pretty brilliant!
On one end is Bobbi’s classic Everything Mascara for volume and the other end is Lash Glamour for length. I use the volume end first then the length end second. My problem is that I noticed some clumping with the glamour end. For some reason, I tend to get clumps with that sort of plastic kind of brush. I wipe the wand with a tissue to try to avoid this but those brushes and my lashes do not mix.
I like the Everything Mascara end but honestly, I prefer Josie Maran’s Mascara or Cattiva’s tenfold. I need multiple coats with Everything Mascara and with the other two, I need 2 coats, tops. And all are black but for some reason, the Everything Mascara black, is lighter on my lashes than the others.
I wanted to like this since I’m such a huge fan of Bobbi Brown but I just couldn’t give this an all out YAY review. GREAT idea… now to work on the formulas.
If you want to try Bobbi’s Dual Ended Mascara you can purchase at Nordstrom.
