Hello
Everyone,
Got the
Icona Milano Emotion Allowed Mascara in the June Glossybox. I have never heard
of this brand before but nonetheless I was excited to try out a new mascara
plus I love how they have included Emotion Allowed as part of the product name. So let’s get on with the review and see how this one fared out.
Product Description: Icona
Milano Emotion Allowed Mascara, Black Long lasting and with no smudges at all
this mascara is water, sweat and humidity resistant. The rich and creamy formulation
and the intense colour create a bold look. The volume is buildable. A basic
makeup remover is recommended.
Price: 19USD/ 16.50€
Performance: Formula
of this is very creamy and more on a wet side. I got this in June glossybox and
the formula is still very wet till date. It has a real slim shaped brush with
soft bristles along the length of the wand. After using the Catrice Glamour
Doll Volume Mascara I have gotten use to slim brushes and in fact I like slim
brushes now. The mascara brush hugs the lashes really nicely and because it is
so slim you can get real close to the bottom of the lashes and do the zig zag
application motion and pull them up whilst coating them evenly. Plus it is so easy to get to your
inner corner and do the bottom lashes without making a mess. It
does a nice job at separating your lashes and lifting them from the roots.
Definitely gives lengthening effect, manages to hold the curl nicely and does
give extra volume to your lashes. You can layer it up quite a bit and it doesn’t
get clumpy but if you overdo it then it definitely will clump up. It doesn’t
layer that well once dried but still you can do one or two coats once dried. It is a waterproof formula and
staying power is great. It stays put no matter what, doesn’t flake or smudge,
doesn’t irritate my eyes and lasts for whole day until I remove
it. Waterproof formulas are a bit difficult to remove but nothing an oil
based cleanser can’t handle.
My only
issue with this mascara is that tube doesn’t have the suction bit like other
mascaras. Due to this brush picks up way too much product and you have to get
the excess off every time you use it otherwise you end up with mascara all over
your eyes. It gets quite time consuming and it is not the best one to use if
you are in a hurry.
The Good:
- Nice
Formula
- Very
pigmented, true black
- Great
brush.
- Definitely
lengthens the lashes
- Holds
the curl nicely
- Volumizing
- Great
for lower lashes
- Doesn't
smudge
- Doesn’t
flake
- Stay
put all day long
- Waterproof
- Doesn't
irritate the eyes
The Bad:
- On
the expensive side.
- Availability might be an
issue.
- Brush picks up way too much
product.
I am
really having a good luck with mascaras. First Catrice Glamour Doll Volume
Mascara and now this one. I really like this mascara. It does everything I want
a mascara to do it lengthens the lashes, makes them look very defined, holds
the curl nicely, provides extra volume, lasts all day long without smudging and
is waterproof. Brush pick up way too much product but I can get over it. I am
glad I got to try it because otherwise I would have never picked it up myself.
