NYC Instant Lash Mascara (Extreme Black)

Viola! Long, luscious eyelashes! And who doesn't want that, right?

 

Welcome! My first review is for an all time personal favorite, the NYC Instant Lash Mascara. This particular mascara is Made in the UK (Fabrique au Royaume-Uni), love, love it!! It never fails me. A trusted and true friend. It will never betray me. Always there making me look very good.

 

First and foremost it comes with a long applicator. Nothing short here. With even bristles and no clumping either, baby! The brittles provide precise application of mascara. It almost combs your lashes as you apply them. Glides like butter, I say. Try to wait for the intial coat to dry before applying a second or third coat to avoid smudging. I never pump the wand back into the container. I gently swirl the wand to get more product for my second coat application. Pumping the wand only introduces air and drys the product faster. Be aware of this. This mascara does not flake if applied like suggested. Flaking can be caused by having a product that is already dry in consistency before application. I have a tendency to scratch my eyes too when my lashes itch, this does not cause itchiness or anything. I have sensitive skin around my eye area and so far no complaints here. My favorite color is Extreme Black, an everyday mascara that is so ever reliable and a charm to apply. Nothing but beautiful long lashes with some eyeliner and lipgloss as a go-to I am just running about town makeup.

 

This comes in a blue tube. 0.23 FL ounces, this lasts me forever. Just remember to twist the top securely so it does not dry so fast. Best way to keep it in cool place and away from sunlight.

 

Best applied on curled lashes. Use any lash curlers you prefer and then run a coat of this from the root upward (away from the face) as you wiggle the wand to really get those lashes fully coated. I start from the middle of the eye, then the outer back to middle then inside corner of the eye. Two to three coats of this NYC Instant lash mascara is plenty. I personally do not put mascara on my lower lashes, it is just a personal preference; but if you do you will love the wand, again, it does not clump the product and makes a mess. The trick is to apply with a steady hand and wiggle the wand as you coat your lashes. Store in cool place and the clumping will never happen.

 

This is not marked as Waterproof. It is an All Purpose Formula (do not know what that means) so I guess, as long as no excessive sweating and crying is involved, this product will hold up and hold up nicely. Sometimes those waterproof mascara looks so heavy and "Tammy Faye-ish"..yikes!!

 

I love this NYC mascara and so "skinny" it will fit in your purse. I personally do not need to carry one because if you apply it correctly in the morning, you will not need to reapply or touch up by the end of the day. Use a good makeup remover when removing this from your lashes. It stays in there good. I prefer the wipes personally. Just a choice.

 

If you are looking for a mascara to start your makeup kit with, try this. I am sure you will be hooked. And fro travelling, this baby spells handy and effective. yeah, fancy brand names can be attractive and all, but if this product gets the job done and then some, I stick to this. Try it and let the word out that this NYC mascara is good and affordable. Really would someone really be able to tell if you slathered some brandname mascara on or this NYC on? I bet you no one can tell and you are the wiser!!

 

Another idea is to give them as part of a cosmetic gift set. When girls start their own makeup collection encourage them to start them with products that work and are affordable and of course, great quality. Not everything that is expensive works great. Here is one product that delivers what it says it can do. There, now try this out and let me hear from you.

 

And curl, then bat those long lashes courtesy of NYC Instant Lash Mascara. Oh, you will be so lovin' them....
