I don't know about you but I don't need, or want, the look of really long spidery bottom lashes, but I do like them defined. I find with a lot of my mascaras that the wand is a great size for the top lashes, but then too big & bulky for the bottom. Which can result in some clumpy looking lashes or spots of mascara below my lower lash line..neither is preferable. I also find that sometimes there is just too much length, resulting in that feathery look that I don't prefer. Typically I end up pulling off excess mascara with my finger tips to avoid this. Don't judge me if this is weird.
I attempted to get some photos of my bottom lashes to show you this mascara in action. I hope you appreciate how hard this was for me and Mr. J., total comedy of errors! I need to work on my eye photos so bear with me here.
Sorry for the exposure, quality, etc., but I hope you get the idea. I have only the bottom lash mascara on, nothing on the top lashes.
This cost me $12CAD and I think it's worth it. This comes in Black and Black/Brown. I know some people may think that it's a pain to use two mascaras, and yes okay that is a valid point. Honestly though that doesn't bother me because this is so quick to use & just makes applying mascara to your bottom lashes so much easier!
Anyway, I set off to try this after reading a bit about it on the Clinique website. This is what it looks like;
How freaking adorably cute is that little brush, it is so teeny, tiny. Which is one of the things I love about it. Despite being so small, I found this was actually quicker to apply on my bottom lashes, than a regular wand mascara, because it is so precise. You can cover even the tiniest of lashes with this little wand. I can go over my lashes quickly & easily and get a perfectly defined look every time. I've never had an issue with clumping..really how could you? It also didn't flake or leave any residue, after a full days wear.

The other thing that I love this mascara for, is those little lashes at the very outer & inner corners of your lash lines, both top & bottom. This works like a dream for that. I love highlighting those lashes, it just adds such a nice pop to your eyes when these lashes are defined and this is the perfect tool to do that. Overall I would give it a thumbs up!
Have you tried this mascara? What do you think?
