Estee Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara Review

Today I'll be doing a review on the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara sample. I had recieved this in a gift set with a purchase a few weeks ago, and finally got the chance to test it out.

Isn't it cute? Everything little is always adorable looking. The packaging is nice with a pretty touch of gold accent.

What really cought my eye was the wand. As soon as I took

it out of the tube I had good vibes about this. The bristles are nicely packed, yet spaced just enough. The formula is not too wet nor too dry. I typically prefer dryer formulas personally. However, I feel like this would be perfect for those who like their mascaras to be more in between wet or dry. And I loved how the wand starts out skinny and smoothly widens to the end.

So this is what my lashes look like with no mascara on. I basically have none. (the wonders of makeup right?) Please excuse my tired eyes, this was taken waay too early in the morning. 

The top picture shows what one coat of this mascara looks like (applied 6:30am). I have to say I was really impressed. After seeing one coat, I was curious what three would look like. As you can see with two and three coats on, this mascara builds really nicely. By the third coat, my lashes did start to clump together a bit. But once I wiped off the excess mascara from the wand I was able to fix it.

This picture was taken at 3pm, after an eight hour shift of work. By this time my mascara (along with most of my makeup) would be just about gone. I work in a mill, so you can imagine how hot it can get. I was shocked to see that my lashes were still very visible and hardly any of my mascara had faded.

My overall thoughts

⚫I seriously loved this mascara. I've never owned a fiber one before and I really believe I fell in love with them after this one.

⚫ Even though this is $26 a tube, I would absolutely buy the full sized one (first thing on my list now!).

⚫ Every claim Estee Lauder stated for this mascara was more than true. It made my barely there lashes big, bold, beautiful and sensuously curved, right down to the very T!

⚫ The wand made getting each and every lash a breeze.

⚫ I had no problems with any fibers getting in my eyes.

⚫ Lasts all day.

⚫ Even though I only wear glasses, I thought it was a great plus that this is suitable for those who wear contacts. (although I'm you can wear all mascaras!?)

⚫ And lastly, this is fragrance free which is always a plus.

So that is it for this review. Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a great weekend!
