Mascara of the Moment - 17's Wild Curls...

At £4.99 this is is the latest high street mascara adorning lashes in blogland. Affordable enough for the likes of mee the week before payday, I picked one up last week, and I've been using it for a few days now... If you get down to Boots, where this is available you get a free gift with purchase of a lash curler, tweezers and a pencil eye liner too. Rude not to really!

Some people might find the packaging a little garish, but I quite like it - leopard print is always fun, and for some reason the name of the mascar "Wild Curls" makes me sing Duran Durans "Wild Boys"over and over in my head. Just me? Ok then...

Anyway, the wand is fairly standard too...
I was initially a little worried this might be a bit of a clumper, as there does seem to be a lot of product on the brush... but I am happy to say, my worries were unfounded.

I usually apply two coats of this, which looks like this;
As you can see - not clumpy, just nice and thick and long. Its no Faux Cils, but this makes a great everyday mascara. I'm not sure how well this would be as a curling mascara used alone though - I am in the habit of curling my lashes daily prior to application. I have noticed my lashes are less prone to droopage though with this one. It feels nice and light, and there is no "crispy" feel to the lashes. 

Removal is as easy as any other mascara - oil based removers work best. It also stays put well, with little flaking or smudging.

I have a feeling it might dry out fast, as its quite a thick formula mascara, but at £4.99 a tube, I don't really mind.

I don't really need a new mascara but everyone seems to love it so it would be rude not to buy it. I walk past it practically every day when I go to Boots, I fear that tomorrow I'll leave clutching it in my sweaty mitts.

@Rhamnousia - heck, for a fiver, its worth a throw!

@Nicola x - I know, this is perfect if you are going away or something - cheap enough to not worry if you loose it, but effective!
