Clinique Lash Power Volumizing Mascara – In love with the brush!

May 10, 2010 Paris B 26 Comments

The Clinique Lash Power Volumizing Mascara was launched early this year with the Juiced up Color spring 2010 collection. What it is, is a volumizing mascara and can I just say how much I’m enjoying using this one?

Clinique Lash power Volumizing mascara

What I really really like about this Clinique Lash Power mascara is the brush. It is slim and small and for girls with small eyes or short lashes, brushes like this are a boon! Not all of us can handle big brushes – especially not if you are new to makeup and mascara.

The slim brush gets all the little lashes and smudges are minimal. I really like it too for the lower lashes – because the brush is so little, it can pick up the lower lashes without too much mascara getting onto my skin. Awesome! I’ll show you how it looks on lashes below.

In terms of adding volume to lashes, I’d say it does its job well. I have been using it for over a month now and its quick to apply, dries quickly and my lashes look pretty visible once I’m done. I find 2 coats does the trick. More than that and it can be a little thick.

I personally did not experience too much clumping, so really, I’m very happy with this mascara. The only thing I might have a bit of complaint about is that its quite hard to remove with cleansing oil.

I learnt through trial and error that this is one of those mascaras that are best removed with eye makeup remover. When I use cleansing oil, it takes me forever. When I use eye makeup remover, it wipes off very easily.

Update: I’ve just been informed that the mascara is thermal activated so it washes off easily with warm water. I will try this! 😀

Its not cheap (RM75) but it does its job and I’d pay just for that brush! Get it if you like small brushes and need volume not length.

Pros: Small brush suits small eyes and short lashes and newbies to mascara, Adds volume to lashes, Does not weigh lashes down

Cons: Hard to remove with anything other than eye makeup remover

This is my first ever Clinique mascara. Yep! Never tried any Clinique mascara before this one. I’d use this for an everyday mascara. It makes my lashes look good – not crazy long but long and thick enough to be visible – which is what really matters. If you want something with more va-va-voom and you have short lashes, this might not be for you.

Have you tried this one? I’m so impressed with this one, I’m thinking of trying another Clinique mascara – do you have any you like? 😀

The Clinique Lash Power Volumizing Mascara comes in one color – Black Onyx a deep dark black and retails at RM75 at all Clinique counters.

    WOW! I’ve had the High Impact mascaras for quite some time now, because they’re usually GWPs, hehhehehe. It works pretty great, except that its non-waterproof. I really would love to try this one, but I spent quite a lot of moolah in getting Mumsies the Green Pan she always wanted hahha. Maybe next time? ^.^

        Yes – I believe that this Friday (14 May) will have Bonus Gifts. The usual with Clinique – RM300+ above = 7 pc gift set. Not sure what else you’ll be buying but I guess if this week really has bonus gifts, then you can check it out : )

    I love this mascara too!

    Yup agree with u. Love the small brush & the smudges are minimal! But for me, it’s easy to remove.

    I <3 small brushes like this.. I used to use Maybeline Waterproof Mascara come with small brushes like this but it was discontinued. Then it made me no choice but to use big brushes.. However, i'm still having problem with it although I used it ample of times. Smudges and smears is always the proble.

    I had look around from Fasio to Marjolica M to high end ones like Dior but however, still big brushes is the trend..

    Finally, you come along and introduce it to me.. Looks like I'm gonna be a loyal fan of Clinique!

      Ooh I’m glad I could help! I cut my teeth on the Maybelline mascara too and I loved the little brush – Lash Discovery I think it was. This Clinique one is quite similar. Hope you’ll like it!

    The best part about Clinique mascaras to me is that it washes off easily with warm water! Perfect for lazy gals like me. Hehe. 😛

      I was just told this! No wonder I had so much trouble removing the mascara heh… but I do like mascara that wash out with water too – it just makes sense when you take off your face in the shower 😉

    while I generally prefer washable mascaras, they usually weigh my lashes down *sighs*
    The brush looks good indeed!
    I had the original Lash Powder that too had a thin brush. I really liked that one 🙂

      Babe you can use any brush coz your lashes are so long! You dont’ need little itty bitty brushes 😛 But I actually didn’t experience any weighing down of my lashes. Maybe I’d pay some attention and see.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
