Givenchy Phenomen'eyes Mascaras are one of my favourite ones, so I was hoping this topcoat would have the same qualities, but sadly, no. I tried wearing it on its own, but the formula is too runny/thin for that and it hardly made any differenc to my lashes. On top of another mascara it adds some very hardly noticeable sparkles, but no volume or length. The sparkles were just not obvious enough to justify paying £20 for a topcoat, so I'm quite disappointed with this product. I haven't tried the gold shade, maybe that's a bit more blingy, but this plum shade is certainly very subtle.
Otherwise, it has the same brilliant brush as the regular Phenomen'eyes mascaras and you get 7 g which is a good size for £20. I think I will just stick to my regular Phenomen'eyes mascaras, they have never disappointed me.
See more pictures after the jump!
You're right- I can hardly see it except for a few random looking sparkles. What a shame!
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely. It's meant to be subtle, isn't it and you'd be surprised how much more it would show in direct light. What shade is this?
ReplyDeleteThe pictures I took were in direct sunlight, so I don't think it could show up any more than that. In the pictures with flash didn't show at all. I'd quite like it not to be subtle for £20 personally. ;)
