Eyeko Magic Mascara...

I was sent this for review purposes by Eyeko - I have to say, it hands down gets thumbs up for the pretty packaging - it comes in a long, sleek metallic purple tube with a silver floral design, accented by little crystals - lovely!

The mascara is apparenly a limited edition product from the Eyeko Couture range - I'm not sure how long it will be available, as the website doesn't give any details. It's available on their website here for £9, or the ASOS website for £8.

The brush is one of those very big ones - akin to benefit bad gal but not as massive (I don't own that one, but the brush looks similar from what I've seen...). The fact that the brush is so big and the opening of the tube is so small, means that any excess product is removed from the wand, which minimises clumping and "goop buildup" on the brush. This worked well - I haven't had a single clump since I started testing it...

Eyeko describe this as a "3 in 1 Mascara" - ie lengthening, volumising and curling. I've been test driving this for a couple of weeks now.... Here is a pic of my naked lashes;

...and here are my lashes with two coats of the mascara...

I'd definitely agree that this is a very lengthening mascara, and I experienced zero clumps at all while I've been using it. I didn't find it particularly curling when used alone, but when applied to curled lashes it held the curl well. I didn't find it massively volumising either - the formula is a little thin to be volumising.

Verdict - worth trying if you want a lenghtening mascara which doesn't clump, but if you are after volume, this may not work for you.

Hope this helps!

Looks all so good to me. Not sure about the no volume thing though. x
