K-Palette Real Lasting Volume Mascara 01 Jet Black

I've two of this. One was part of my goodie bag via an event, the other was bought prior the event.

A film type waterproof mascara that adheres well to each lash to create dramatic lashes with outstanding volume.

Polymer ingredients make it resistant to water, sweat, oil to prevent ‘panda eyes’ and it is clump-free. You can now have beautiful, soft and impactful lashes that lasts all day. Use it with K-Palette 1 Day Keep Base to keep curls. Can be easily removed with lukewarm water.

A simple black tube with silver wordings.

The brush has tiny soft bristles which do not cause any discomfort to the sensitive eye area.

This mascara has hits AND misses. It reminds me of Dejavu Mascara (lengthening) which contains black fibres that layer on to create a false lash effect. The formulation is on the wet side. I like how intensely black it is, which adds a nice definition to my barely-there lashes.

It claims to be waterproof/water-resistant. I strongly beg to differ. When the mascara-ed lashes come into contact with water, I experience fallouts and smudges.

If you've watery eyes, THAT'S IT. You get panda eyes.

When coated twice (top of image above), it is clump-free. It only starts to clump from the 3rd coat (bottom of image above) onwards. The mascara-ed lashes feel in-between soft and stiff. The lashes are evenly coated with mascara, from the roots to the tips. Hmm... the inner corners are kinda hard-to-reach though, which explains the somewhat messy application. In my opinion, it does a better job in lengthening than volumizing (thanks to the black fibres).

To remove, just use warm water will do.

All in all, I find that a good mascara should be able to hold curls well. Sad to say, it doesn't. Perhaps, it will work better if used with K-Palette 1 Day Keep Base? I shall try and see how it fares.

Retails for SGD$25.90 at Beauty Carousel, Watsons and Sasa.
