NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara

So I feel like mascara tubes never ever run out and as a result of that my desk is swamped with about thirty random tubes ranging from cheap drugstore products to high end luxury products. For about the last 6 months Ive been really attached to the Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express in Very Black Flared. But after that product got left at home after a recent trip overseas, I dashed downstairs and wondered down Orchard Road in Singapore and found the equivalent of some kind of Myer or David Jones style makeup counter floor in which I discovered this beauty.

NARS Larger Than Life Mascara

This product is great for everyday wear, it provides a light coat of mascara with just one application that doesn't clump lashes. This mascara does also provide some volume and lengthening, however its not super dramatic by any stretch of the imagination, but like I said, for everyday wear it looks pretty sharp. This mascara isn't waterproof at all but once it had dried is pretty resilient to flaking on to your face which is great as it means that reapplication isn't necessary during the day. 

When you pair this product with a fibre extender like the one available from Urban Decay called the Lash Primer Potion it truly covers all the white fibres really throughly and when a second coat is applied it brings a more dramatic look to the eye.

NARS also claims that this mascara is vitamin-enriched and curls with every stroke, which it does, when you apply the mascara it does give a slight curl and it doesn't leave eyelashes feeling dry and brittle when you remove the product. The wand for this product it really simply shaped as you can see in the image above, and the bristles are quite stiff and the wand itself has no flex and has a tenancy to have a bit of excess product on the tip of the wand which generally needs to be wiped off before application or it likes to be clumpy or if you're like me you are more likely to get it all over your already perfected face.

This product, costing $25 per tube, (although I honestly remember paying a hell of a lot more for it…), contains a little less in the tube than a normal mascara. The tube only contains 0.21oz of product where as most drugstore brands contain about 0.31oz, as a result of this I feel like for the first time ever the tube might actually be properly empty.
