MASCARA | It Cosmetics Superhero mascara

Happy 4th of July!

Sephora Description:

What it is:
A game-changing mascara that gives lashes the appearance of volume, length, and elastic stretch in just one coat.

What it does:
Developed with plastic surgeons, Superhero™ mascara is like skin care for your lashes. The proprietary Elastic Stretch Technology stretches the look of your lashes wider and longer, and wraps each individual lash in a volume-boosting, lengthening, ultra-conditioning coat of support and color for the strongest, thickest, most defined results. Powerful lash-lifting polymers, volumizing collagen, strengthening biotin, proteins, and peptides combined with super black pigment and the Lash-Changing Power Brush work together to coat every lash from base to tips. Lashes are lifted and separated to create a fuller lash line and to ensure that no lash is left behind. The super-buildable formula takes your lashes to new heights. Simply apply more coats for additional volume and length. 

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates

What else you need to know:
This product was developed with surgeons and dermatologists. It is clinically tested, talc-free, and cruelty-free.

I got this mascara in the last ipsy bag

This mascara gives quite a bit of length and volume, I would actually consider buying the full size of this. It still smudges unfortunately, but this is definitely worth trying if non waterproof mascaras work out for you.

$24 for 0.3 oz from Ulta, Sephora, etc.

Sidenote - I am obsessed with alpacas. Aren't they absolutely adorable?

Verdict

Rating: A

I was skeptical about this product even though xteeener featured it in a favorites video. When IT Cosmetics had a 50% off deal via GMA, I know I had to try it. I was pleasantly surprised by how natural this looks and how the color blends in, although you can tell it's a bit more beige than my natural skin tone.

The container's too big to be concealer and too small to be a foundation, but for people who seldomly use coverup this is perfect. The coverage is really good considering how light this is. It's super bendable, but not silicone-y where it seems to be slippery and blend away. I've been using the product on the lid since there's so much on there.

Repurchase?

Yes.

Would I recommend it?

If you're really pale or really tan this may not be a foundation for you, but it covers redness well and you can always put foundation/powder over it!
