For some reason, I always had a negative opinion of this mascara before I even had a chance to try it. This is the Clinique High Lengths Mascara and it’s one of the most unique mascaras on the market.

The brush is unlike any other mascara. It is a long, curved silicone wand with bristles on only one side, almost like a fine toothed comb. I thought this would do absolutely nothing to my lashes but boy, was I wrong. I usually get very annoyed with my eyelashes. They’re naturally very long so I often have trouble with getting them to look orderly and not all tangled and clumped together. But this wand was able to brush out my lashes, like a comb would brush out your hair. It separates each eye lash while adding noticeable length and definition. Plus, I find it gives a nice curl to my eyelashes which is always a bonus because I don’t physically curl them with an eyelash curler.

Even though the wand is what makes this mascara so cool, the formula is also super awesome too. It’s a great true black color that doesn’t flake throughout the day. But because it’s not waterproof, it comes off easily at night with makeup remover. I can’t stand mascaras that are hard to remove.

The only problem I experienced with this mascara was the lack of volume it contributes to my lashes. It’s great at adding length and definition but if you are looking for volume, this won’t do it for you. However, I’ve been using this as a layering mascara. I apply a coat of this first and then use my Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara (review here) overtop which adds lots of volume! If I experience any clumps, I’ll run this wand through my lashes once more to separate the lashes. And voila! Perfect Lashes!
