The Body Shop - Big and Curvy Mascara

This was given to us at the recent Body Shop Event, and I've heard mixed views on it, so I wanted to chuck in my two pennies worth as it were...

The packaging is nice enough - the pink is an eye catching touch, although other than this its a fairly standard tube design. 

The wand is not what you'd expect from a volumising mascara - it's not a big thick thing, but is rather long and thin...

It has a very compact set of natural bristles, rather than the plastic comb style wands. I actually really like this wand - it can be used to get to all the lashes and the bristles grip the lashes well - even small ones. And bacause it is thin and compact you can get right in at the root of the lashes. 

The formula is not too wet, however this may have a down side in that the mascara might dry up and go clumpy a little bit faster than a more wet textured mascara...

Results? Pictures speak a thousand words!

So - I think this gave me good length and separation, but wasn't necessarily the most volumising mascara I've ever used. Its a nice mascara, but I'm not convinced it is worth the £10 price tag - this seems to give a similar result to a lot of other mascaras you can get on the high street for a lower price...
