Cons

OCT

2009

I am so addicted to trying new mascara, it's not even funny. My latest victim is Smashbox Lash DNA Mascara. At $9.00 it is more that drug store mascaras, but I thought I would splurge and try something new.

Smashbox says: "The double-helix brush lengthens and separates every lash, no matter how small, for the ultimate fanned-out effect."

Smashbox calls this a "lengthening and curling" mascara. I call this a lengthening mascara with an obnoxious sized brush. The "double-helix brush" is about twice as wide as any other mascara brush that I have ever used. The spiraling of the brush and it's huge size make it difficult to apply mascara. I found this mascara easier to apply if I twisted the wand between my fingers from the root to the end of my lashes, but it was still a pain in the butt.

I think this mascara stays on nicely without flaking and it did add length to my lashes, but I didn't notice much curling. For length, I still prefer: Maybelline Define-A-Lash and for volume, I still prefer: CoverGirl LashBlast.

The Scoop!

The brush of this mascara ruins it completely. I would not purchase it again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you like REALLY big mascara brushes.

Seriously, did you see the size of that massive brush!?! It's insane :)

It seems like a HUGE brush is the new marketing tool. So now they're making it with a double-helix? What will they think of next?LOL

No, they definitely didn't! Thanks for reading!

Obviously, they are not giving some of these new products to real life people to test during the development phase!

It seemed like a cool concept in the beginning, but it quickly becomes a failure. Yes, DO save your money, because this one is NOT worth it! Thanks for reading and commenting :)

I was considering buying this mascara, but thanks to your review, I don't think I'll waste my money. I'm still in search of my Holy Grail mascara, someday maybe I'll find it lol.
