I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...

Thoughts:

- Smudges on me almost on a daily basis, but is usually manageable - on a scale from 1(none-very little) to 5(panda eyes) the smudging is maybe about 2,5?

- The brush feels a bit too big

- Not especially volumizing to me (considering the mascara name)

-  Definitely can't use the mascara on my lower lashes: brush too big, smudges then badly

- Not favorable feelings towards Anastasia Beverly Hills since discovered that the brand owner seems to support Putin



+ Gives beautiful lashes, no clumps

+ Slightly volumizing and lengthening, quite elegantly, in balance

+ Can be easily layered, no crunchiness, doesn't immediately dry when applied, easy to apply

+ Even though the brush feels a bit too big, it is a great shape and works well

+ Very easy to wash off with regular face wash, doesn't damage lashes at all

+ Doesn't weigh down my natural eye lash curl

* I have gotten two of Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Volumizing Mascara Mini as gifts! Another one from advent calendar and another one as a gift with purchase I think? So I assume it is either a hugely popular mascara or they really tried to market it.

* This mascara claims to be waterproof and intense black color. For me, waterproof means nothing if mascara is not sweat/oil proof as well.

No.

Worth the money? 

For someone who doesn't experience smudging problems and likes well balanced lashes Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Volumizing Mascara quite possibly could be a great choice! For people prone to oily skin, smudging and small eyes and lashes this is not ideal.
