Fashion 21 Double Up Mascara Review

“Lashes instantly up to two times longer, stronger.” That's what this mascara claims to give. I picked this mascara up from the Fashion 21 counter for 225 Php in Market! Market! Taguig today because my Maybelline Volume express one started to dry up and clump on several instances. I first heard of this from Say Tioco, a youtube guru and she said nothing but good stuff about this mascara so I gave it a try.

The packaging is simple. It comes in a sleek red container and that's it, very simple. What noticed different though was the wand. Unlike my favorite Maybelline mascara, it wasn't curved. It was just straight and the bristles are not as much as what the Maybelline has. This has shorter and stiffer bristles. The sales lady confirmed that it was water proof but that's one thing I would have to find out for myself. And I think it only comes in color black.







As for my first reaction after applying one coat of it, I was AMAZED! I was fortunate enough to have long and not so thick but definitely not sparse eyelashes and with just one coat of it, my lashes looked even longer! It also has a clean finish, it doesn't smudge nor clump and it does a great job with the lower lashes as well.

I've just noticed that this mascara tends to weigh down my lashes and it doesn't do well in holding up the curl. 


I must say, I am very picky when it comes to mascaras and I really wasn’t that much adventurous with it. I tend to stick to what works for me and for these past few years it had always been Maybelline. I now have a new favorite as of the moment. 

Will I repurchase it? Definitely yes! Do I recommend it? Another YES!
