I received a mini tube of the YSL Volume Faux Cils mascara in my February Topbox to try. I've heard a lot of good things about this mascara but personally, I didn't love it.
It is said to give an "intense, dramatic lash look in a single stroke, for lashes that stop traffic with the blink of an eye."
That's not really what I achieved using this mascara.
In all fairness, I do have straight, itty-bitty lashes so it's not really the mascara's fault that I couldn't stop traffic with the blink of an eye.
I like the formula of the mascara. I found it to be long-wearing and it didn't smear at the end of the night. I just didn't see a change to my lashes that a drugstore mascara couldn't do.
The brush is nice. I haven't used a fiber brush in a while (I'm used to the plastic bristles) so it was a nice change.
Overall, I'd probably give it ♥♥♥♥♥. It's applies great but it didn't wow me. The full-size retails for $36.


Have you tried the YSL Faux Cils? What did you think? xx
Yeah, this mascara did nothing for my lashes either...there are plenty of better mascaras at a lower price that do so much more!
ReplyDeleteWe are total mascara opposites. You like blinc, I reeeeally didn't. I actually ended up buying the full sized YSL mascara last weekend at Holt Renfrew!
ReplyDelete@Jayne Yeah, I was kind of disappointed! I had high hopes that it would be amazing :(.
ReplyDelete@Nancy Haha we are!! You have great lashes though. Jealous xx
nothing special :/
ReplyDeletehaii,it's mihaela♥mfashionfreak
I found this one to be really irritating, I was so disappointed. Mascaras can be so hit or miss for me though, short eyelashes are a pain!
ReplyDeleteI have purchased the full sized awhile ago, and honestly regret it, since Maybelline Falsies is more than excellent!
ReplyDeleteyou have such cute eye lashes :) hehe
ReplyDeleteI've actually been thinking of getting this mascara but like you said it doesn't look very impressive... Great review! :) xx
