Since switching my cosmetic routine to Lush, it still baffles me how the makeup range took so long to catch my eye. I feel like with age I'm becoming more aware of my image, the image I show to others and the image I form of myself. Makeup is an expression, one that I can be creative with and one that helps my self-confidence. But no matter how young you are when you start your makeup journey, I feel like mascara is the first step. It's the weapon of choice we wear everyday, and one we feel naked without. But does everyone know the harm it does to your eyelashes after each and everyday?Wearing mascara frequently weakens the eyelashes, making them brittle overtime. Waterproof mascara is the worst of bunch as with it being more difficult to remove, it puts more strain on the eyes and lashes with every rub. So what can you do? Give up wearing mascara?! Don't be silly.
This is wear Eyes Right mascara becomes the best I have ever had. The applicator, formula, performance, are all worth your pretty pennies. The key ingredient that sets this mascara apart is Wheatgrass, which not only conditions the lashes but improves them overtime, so that means your lashes get healthier the more you wear it, cool right? Since switching to this mascara about 6 months ago, my natural lashes look longer, thicker, and generally a whole lot healthier.
The applicator will feel a bit foreign at first, with it being so short you really do have to get up close and personal. The actual applicator brush though is quite basic but still prevents clumping. Lush purposely gave this mascara it's small size as with other mascaras, you tend to waste a a lot on the long applicator and so this way you can access more of the actual product. And the great thing about a glass bottle is that you can see how much mascara you have left.
One layer of this mascara is perfect for me. Giving me a natural volume and length. Plus it helps my eyelashes are black and already pretty long. However, you can build up the layers for a bolder look. I do find I will end up with excess product on my lashes, which is easy to take care of by brushing it through again with a separate mascara brush (which is what I always do with other mascaras in order to remove clumps and brush the formula through more evenly). It can be a bit messy to apply and you will have to wait for it to dry. But once set, this mascara lasts me all day and night with only slight smudging in the corners.

It's not a waterproof mascara but unless you aim to be drenched in rain then it shouldn't bother you. It does stay on pretty well, but can be removed with 9 to 5 cleansing lotion. I also found that by using a very fine lip liner brush, you can turn this into a liquid eyeliner! Great for if you're in a pinch.
I've been using this mascara for nearly 6 months now and I can see I'm not even half way through the bottle. Making the £12 price tag completely worth it.
Overall, I can't go back after using Eyes Right. And I await the day I can try the rumored Bewitch mascara at Oxford Street. If you don't like the size of Eyes Right, they also have a normal tube form of it at Oxford Street and Manchester Arndale. So I heavily recommend if you are a frequent user, to get this mascara. Your eyelashes will thank you!
