Eyeko Mascara; Product Review

Mascara is one of those makeup produces where you can find yourself flitting from one to another in the desperate search for a perfect "one." Your constantly trying to find the right brush applicator, the right black, the right product to ensure your lashes aren't falling out at the end of the day/night due to them crusting up.

 

Well I have found this little gem whilst out shopping in Selfridges.

 

Eyeko is a uk brand established in 1999 offering award winning mascaras, liners, brow products as well as eyeshadow pens. It's regularly reviewed and used for many major beauty/fashion magazine editorials such as Harpers Bazaar, The Stylist, Glamour and Wonderland.

 

So the product I bought was Eye Do (all the products have cute quirky names), a mascara which boosts water resistance, carbon black with lash enhancing botanicals for lengthening and strengthen. Which I would have to agree with the claims.

The packaging was nice with the mascara bottle being a tube shape and you get a Eyeko shield to help get a clean application (it looks like a guitar plectrum which is cool)

 

 

The brush is a fat brush, which some people have issues with but…hence the eye shield in the box! I on the other hand love fat brushes as I feel I have more definition with these rather than a skinny brush. This brush also enables you to create volume which is clump free.

The product has nourishing ingredients which conditions your lashes to ensure you avoid that crusty, flaky look which is never good for your lashes. These ingredients include shea butter, antioxidants, vitamins and botanical proteins to condition and promote lash growth.

As you can see from the before and after pictures, there is definitely a difference in my lashes, which natural they are quiet long especially on the bottom lashes. I have curled the top lashes but only slightly as they don't really need it.

 

The mascara felt very light on and applying it was smooth and easy. It lasts all day without that drying out feeling that some mascara's have on your lashes and its definitely water resistance as I gave it the ultimate test at Alton Towers on the water flume ride…twice! With no smudges or Alice Cooper eyes!

I would definitely recommend this mascara for all makeup lovers and makeup artists, the price tag is on the higher end at £20 but you get what you pay for which in my opinion is like a moisturizer for your lashes whilst still lengthening and defining them.

Check them out for yourself at their website:  http://www.eyeko.com, I shall definitely be looking into their eyeliners and their "Me and My Shadow" product.

Bye for now lovelies!
