Avon Infinitize Mascara

Being in Avon does has its perks. I saw this little guy before it came out and was super excited to get my hands on it. I mean, look at the brush! It's incredible! I showed everyone I knew and posted it on facebook and urged people to try it with me. And I did get two people to buy it. But sadly, it didn't preform as well as I had hoped it would.

My rating: ★★★☆☆
Price: $8

I mean look at that brush! Its awesome!

I reused this today because I couldn't remember everything I liked/didn't like about it and actually changed my mind about the rating. I was going to give it two stars but it actually isn't that bad of a mascara.

It does a good job spreading apart your lashes and making them full as well as curling them. I don't curl my lashes so this mascara does a good job giving them a little lift and making them longer as well. I love having bold lashes and this definitely does the trick.

However there are some bad things about this mascara that have prevented me from using it on a daily basis or at all really. I'm going to regret putting this on today when I try to take it off tonight. I always have a hard time taking it off with just soap and water.

Also because the brush has so many teeth on it that are different sizes, I have noticed that it is kind of hard to get it close to your lash line. I often have to move the wand around to get into the right position and reach every  part of my lashes. But that isn't the problem. The problem is that when I do get to the lash line, I often feel a scraping and it hurts to get close to the root of my lashes. This is do not like.

I also noticed that you have to be really careful when getting the lower lashes. I brushed the wand over them normally with the tip of the wand and ended up making them really long and dark. Some people might like this look but I however look like a porcelain doll right now. Not the worst thing ever but not what I was going for.

All in all this is an ok mascara to use once in a while but I personally wouldn't use it every day. But my grandma said she uses it every day and she loves it. She's more of a conservative makeup user too so maybe we just apply it differently. I won't be repurchasing it but it might be just what you're looking for! :)

Pros:
* Curls and thickens lashes
* Lasts all day/waterproof
* Doesn't clump

Cons:
* Wand can be scratchy and unpleasant
* Hard to get off
* Hard to control amount applied on lashes (for me at least)
* Made my lashes fall out if used more than once
* Clumps if used more than once

I do remember one more thing. Since it is so hard to get off, sometimes if you use it again the day after you use it the first time and there is still residue of the day before on there, it will start to clump together and you will look like you have fewer lashes. I hated this about this mascara and decided only to use it on special occasions or when I wanted a lift. Not recommended for everyday use.
