Eyeko Black Magic Mascara Drama Curl

One night I was watching HSN and I saw a demo for what appeared to be just another ordinary mascara. However, as I sat glued to the glowing box, I saw that this was slightly different. It came with a pick. A pick? As in, hair pick? No. Like a guitar pick....What???

I kid you not. Although there was never any mention of it being called a "pick" as you can see for yourself, that's exactly what it is, (the company actually refers to it as a "shield"). Anyhow I decided right then and there I needed to order it....

About a week later it arrived and I began trying it out. First thing I noticed was that it did not come in the standard tube like most mascaras. Eyeko comes in an interesting tube, which resembles that of an eye cream or some kind of skincare product. The formula is not wet, which made me very happy, (I have long, thin lashes, so the drier formulas tend to work better on me) while the wand is a natural bristle brush. Another thing I noticed was that there appeared to be some kind of fibers mixed in the formula, which made sense as this was a thickening and volumizing product. The application was normal, however I did have to pull out my eyelash comb to get out some clumps that had formed after the first application. Once I went in for the second pass, I was pretty happy with the results. As far as the pick goes, I tried using it, but it's kind of tricky. It's meant to be placed above the upper lash line, so you are able to really build up the curl and volume. I tried, but I don't think I did that great of job with it.



All in all I liked it. I honestly think it's the kind of mascara that should be used for evening or special occasions. To me, it seemed a little too dramatic for daily wear, but awesome for going out. It also holds really well. I wore mine for about 10 hours and there was no flaking, smearing and the curl and volume looked really good. Washing it off is another story too. I forgot that it is also labeled as being water resistant, and boy is it! I really had to let my lids soak for a few long seconds before even attempting to remove it . (Oh, it's also paraben free, made with botanical extracts, keratin and Shea Butter.)

So, if you're in the market for a new va-va-voom mascara, give Eyeko a try. I think I'll get some wear out of it during the holidays:)
