Being addicted to false lashes means I've never really put too much thought into the quality of the mascara I use. I guess I'm so used to being underwhelmed by them that my attitude is a bit 'meh'; if it's black then it'll do right?
Imagine my surprise when a Birchbox sample not only totally impressed me but made me feel comfortable enough to ditch my Demi Wispies. This never happens.
The particular mascara in question is Eyeko's Black Magic.
I'm rather fond of the packaging because it's a squeezy tube rather than your stock rigid type - I feel like this will help make sure you can finish all of the product. The mascara is accompanied by a rather adorable plectrum tool, designed to be placed on the eyelid behind the lashes to stop those dreaded smudge or transfer moments!
The brush is shaped to hug the curvature of your lashlines. This ensures every lash is coated and keeps the application even without clumping.
I reach for this particular mascara when I'm creating a smokier eye look. The deep black colour and volume intensifies the lash line, giving the eyeshadows a dramatic finish.
At £18 it's definitely the most money I have spent on a mascara but I'm willing to break tradition for an item of this quality.
What's your favourite mascara?
