Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara and Lashliner review

I'm always on the look out for the perfect mascara. I get really excited when a new one is launched. I always think, will this one be the one to give me lashes like the models in mascara ads? Then I remember that those models in the ads are almost always wearing lash inserts and mascara alone won't give me that look. But never mind, a girl can hope. 

A few weeks ago I was sent some samples of the Revlon Grow Luscious mascara and Lashliner (that's right, lashliner, not eyeliner) to try.

I've been using these every day since I got them and here are my thoughts on both.

Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara in Blackest Black

"Conditioning formula helps strengthen and plump lashes for up to 200% instantly for maximum volume" 

The first thing that I noticed is how big the wand was. Not big as in fat, but big as in long. Some people might find it a bit awkward at first as it is longer than normal mascaras, but for me it made it quicker to apply the mascara as I could cover more lash area with one swipe.

I didn't see much volumising with this mascara, but I did see more of a lengthening effect. My favourite part is the colour, it makes lashes really really black.

The formula is a bit wet, so during the first couple of days I found it a bit too wet to work with, but after about the 3rd day it thickened a bit and became much easier to apply. Overall for me this won't get HG status but it is a good every day mascara if you like your lashes black and long. As for whether they made my lashes grow luscious? I haven't seen a difference in the 2 weeks of use. 


Grow Luscious Lashliner in Onyx

"Delivers ultra intense color impact in one stroke. Botanical and vitamin rich formula nourishes and supports healthy lashes."

This is fantastic, it's extra black, extra intense, and stays put on the inner rims of my eyes without melting off. It's quite a soft pencil and its intensity reminds me of Urban Decay's pencil in Zero (which I ran out of, hence no comparison swatch).

It's very smooth and has an almost gel like effect. Because it's so soft, it's perfect for tightlining (lining the upper inside rims of your eyes). I'll definitely be purchasing this when it runs out.

In Australia the mascara retails for $21.95AUD and the pencil for $23.95AUD.

 

Have you tried this mascara or eyeliner yet?
