Everyone and their dog is slobbering over Charlotte’s amazing new makeup line. Obviously I was looking forward to trying her mascara. I have to admit something: when I first tried this mazzie I wasn’t all that excited. Soft formula, fluffy lashes but not a ton of WOW factor. It sat in my vanity for a couple weeks before I decided to give it another go.

Imagine my joy to find that the mascara had transformed with a little age. With its stiff-bristles Christmas tree brush, the now-thickened formula really adhered to my lashes for thick roots and flirty tips. Another coat gave me major length and probably double the volume.

By midday my lashes were still soft and the touch-up made my lashes alllllmost look like falsies. I needs eye makeup remover at the end of the night but I don’t care; this is truly a 5 Star Mascara. Buy it!
