Review: Revlon's Lash Potion

Revlon's Lash Potion: Washable formula

THE GOOD
- Packaging. I'm a packaging junkie and personally, I really enjoy this packaging.  The metallic twinkling design is very fitting for the potion concept.  It's very refreshing compared to the uber boring packaging designs that almost all Western make-up brands have.
- Length. I find that this mascara gives me a fair bit of length.

THE BAD
- Wand. The wand of this mascara was actually the selling point of this mascara for me.  I was really intrigued by the triple-groove illusionist concept. Disappointingly, the wand did not coat my lashes well.  I found that it kind of just slapped on the product without separating or declumping my lashes.
- Formula. As with all mascaras, this mascara started off quite wet, but dried out a little after a few uses.  The formula is very thick and somewhat dry making it very prone to clumping and spidery lashes, which is something that I can't stand.  It also smudges and flakes like crazy!  Flaking occurs almost immediately after applying.
 The formula claims to contain amino acids that coat lashes to help them grow long and strong.  Honestly, I think it's a gimmick.  I find that my eyelashes are more prone to falling out after wearing this mascara.
- Couldn't hold a curl.  I have somewhat short, stick straight Asian lashes so it's extremely difficult to find a mascara that will hold my curl. With this mascara, I could see my curled lashes fall quite quickly.  I actually used my finger to brush my lashes up while the mascara was drying so that they wouldn't point straight down.  After about 2 hours, they fell completely =(

OVERALL RATING: 2/5
