Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara : You are Fabulash!

January 14, 2011 Paris B 14 Comments

2010 seemed to be the year of lash growth serums. We had so many pop up in the market! Bar one that actually worked for me, I was not quite impressed nor taken in by others on offer. Ironic really, seeing as to how I have short lashes.

I met someone for the first time about a month ago, and she exclaimed after a spell “You really have short lashes!” I wasn’t upset of course. I’m resigned to it but I found it quite amusing that she noticed 🙂

Now, instead of having a separate lash growth serum, we now have lash growth mascara – mascara that help condition your lashes and help them grow the more you use it. What a way to build brand/product loyalty! 😀 I know Rimmel has one (I haven’t got round to using it) and Lancome has one but Revlon has one too – Grow Luscious Fabulush mascara.

I will tell you up front that I don’t know if there was any lash growth of my short lashes. I don’t use one mascara long enough for its benefits to show. What I will tell you is how it performs and why I like it 🙂 Yes I do!

It might interest you to know that I have never tried a Revlon mascara before this. Yup! Done the whole gamut of drugstore mascara but not Revlon.

The big brush terrified me, naturally. Short lashes + big brush usually = disaster. However I was quite surprised that I did not get mascara all over my lid as I thought I would. It might be the way the brush tapers, or the fact that the bristles are all very dense and close together, but I found it quite easy to apply to my lashes.

The other thing I liked is the slightly dry formula. It goes on my lashes easily but it does not smudge and I don’t get residue on my lid when I blink immediately, which is great when you are in a hurry in the morning.

Also the formula left me with very natural looking fluttery lashes. Sure, I did not get va-va-voom lashes, but it was great for an everyday sort of look. Its like “my lashes but better” and I liked that.

The before and after photos above show you just what I mean. The mascara did not leave me with dramatic lashes, but it was enough to open up the eyes.

Removal was easy. I use eye makeup remover or cleansing oil and its easy. However, as I have noted right at the top, I’m much too fickle to stick to just one mascara day after day, and there is no way I have a ruler small enough to measure an infinitesimal increase in lash length. It did not cause my lashes to fall out, it gave me natural looking lashes and that for me is quite enough.

Pros: Natural lash look, Affordable, Easy to remove

Cons: Big brush might be hard to use for those with small eyes

Have you tried this one? I think its been out for a couple of months already and I know there are some ongoing promotions in the pharmacies. Its definitely not the full retail price of RM33 in the pharmacies!

I could consider repurchasing this because its not terribly pricey, and it gives me the lash effect I want – natural and fluttery. I’m not fussed about its lash growth claims so long as it doesn’t cause my lashes to fall out! 😀

Revlon Grow Luscious mascara retails at RM33 at Revlon counters. Watch out and pick it up when they have promotions or sales for a better bargain

    Haha. She’s an outspoken one, isn’t she?
    Your lashes look great! Definitely more fluttery. I’d like it if my mascara could help my lashes grow.

      Yup but she noticed, which was quite unusual haha… and I did like this one. Its very light and nice. If I’d started my mascara days with these, I’d be more likely to wear mascara from much earlier on 😛

    I actually really want to try this!! But I have one more mascara to oo through, which is the Loreal Telescopic Explosion, which I love! ^.^ It is permanent, yes?

      I believe this is permanent. I hope it is anyway or I’d lose a drugstore mascara I can turn to 😛

    Just wondering, does the mascara gets into your eyes?

    My lashes has grown from regular usage of mascara. I knew cos the one longer are those that were coated more often with mascara compared to the inner corner eye lashes which I often missed during morning rush hour.

      Nope, this doesn’t get into my eyes. It doesn’t irritate my eyes either unlike *cough*Majolica*cough* 😛 Its interesting that your lashes have grown from using mascara! I did not notice that about my lashes. I’m just happy they don’t fall out LOL!

        The majolica mascara has an awful smell, don’t you think? The chemical smell puts me off.

    This looks like a nice mascara for everyday looks. I’m not too fond of the big wand though. I have small eyes so big wands can make quite a mess on my eyes.

    How rude! Imagine if that person was a MA! Plus Asians tend to have short, straight lashes – what does she expect? 😀 I am using Dior lash serum, but this mascara sounds interesting (and cheaper lol).

    since you have short lashes, have you considered using a lash base underneath your mascara? 🙂 there are many good ones out there to try! i have been using a lash base since maybe 4-5 years ago and i never looked back!

    You look great with this one! I tried it, but unfortunately, whilst it did give all those volume and length, it was super flaky and the flakes is just something I cannot contend with! hehe….

    I have been using this mascara for awhile and and am amazed that it really does help my lower lashes which are barely there before. For upper lash I can’t tell any difference…
