We all hear about certain products in the beauty market, and wonder whether its worth purchasing, especially with products that are difficult to try out.
I had the same dilemma with my recent buy - Diorshow blackout mascara by Dior. I've always owned drugstore branded mascara's, but after hearing raving reviews about this particular mascara, I thought its about time I invested in this bad boy!
So looking at the packaging, its a nice sleek design, with your Dior stamped logo printed all around.
Dior has many types of mascaras. I chose Diorshow Blackout because it contains Kohl, so that the mascara is very pigmented, and because of the brush.
As you can see. The brush is like your classic mascara brush. I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the brush. For my lashes (thin and fairly long) this is great for adding volume and length, as the larger bristles "snuggle" my lashes.
However, for my lashes I would have preferred a drier formulation. Its not too wet, and not too dry. The wetter the formulation, the heavier the mascara, and your lashes are weighed down. If you have thin lashes like me, I would advise you to curl your lashes before applying the mascara. This product is really good at holding a curl.
What I love about this mascara, is that I can wear it alone without any eyeliner to intensify my lash line.
Diorshow Blackout is priced at approx. £23.00 in the UK. It certainly is a luxury price to pay for mascara, especially if you don't use mascara often. It is advised that mascaras (once opened) should be used for 6 months. This is to avoid eye infections and the mascara drying up.
I hope this review was helpful and there will be plenty more where this came from! Stay blessed, peace!!
