This is the mini-sized one, came as a free gift when I purchased the regular sized one.
I believe this is a very old Dior mascara (probs launched 2 years ago?). I'm doing a review on this in 2014 and so...I'm thinking, is anyone really gonna look for a review on this mascara now?! Doubtful...but let's get to it.
This isn't waterproof. I don't care what the retailer says--it's not.
On my oily lids and asian eyes, it might be rubbing-your-eyes-for-a-brief-second proof, but definitely is not smudge-proof.
I have tried Maybeline mascara that is more 'proof-proof' than this!
The shape of the brush is typical; does the job of separating your lashes. But this, is a high-end mascara. I expect not only for the brush to do a good job of separating my lashes, I expect it to give me that ionic curl its title claims.
Nope.
It does give volume, making your lashes appearing thicker without overdoing it unless you layer it upon layers. But it does not lengthen at all and the most disappointing part is that it does not hold curls.
Oh my God. Help.
It always smudges on my lower lash line. By the end of the day (school), I'd come home finding myself with panda eyes. Maybeline mascara does better than you, Dior!
The good thing about its lack of ability to just STAY ON your lashes, is that it's easy to remove. Hah-rah!
The only positive feedback I'm going to give, is that once it's been used and is at least 1 and a half months old, it can be used as a pretty good brow enhancer.
Right now I just use it to brush my brows after I fill them in. This does a really good job of (oh Jesus), lengthening my brows, making them thicker (not overly) and much more presentable. Who knew this would be the perfect little thing--for brows, huh?
What I like:
- Great brow enhancer lol....
- Good job of separating lashes
- Easy to remove
- Not that easy to clump up
- Quite natural looking compared to Maybeline ones (when applied in multiple layers)
- Nice brush, easy application
- Long lasting--as in, you don't need to throw it away after 3 months of opening it. I have had mine for a year now and still uses it almost daily (on my brows, awayy from them eye balls haha)
What I don't like:
- Not water-proof (Sephora lady, thanks.)
- Not smudge-proof on bottom lashes
- Brush is a tad too big for my liking, sometimes I do get mascara on my lids/skin by accident
- Doesn't hold curls
Rate: 2/5
What can I say? I'd expected lots when I had spent over Rm 180 for a mascara and it can't even provide me panda-free eyes? *cries*
