Review: YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Shocking Mascara


One of the most popular mascaras from YSL and you really want to hear something bad about it from me? Ok I admit at first I wasn't especially in love with it after using L'oreal False Lash Wings which I adore (review here) but in the moment I've opened it I was definitely intrigued. I'm not used to scented mascaras and in this moment I was so shocked (the first thing which is "Shocking" about it get it? Shocking mascara? Shocking? I'll stop...). The smell is amazing,  rosy if you ask me. And of course the packaging is beautiful, rose gold and elegant.
I'm not a big fan of not waterproof mascaras but after seeing the effect after applying it I was sold. I ust say after I've started to using this mascara I haven't used any eyeliner, eye khol or any heavy, black product. For me it really opens my eyes and makes them bigger when in real life my eyes is so small that you have to guess where they are!
The aim of this mascara is to exaggerate your lashes and give volume from every angle. If you prefer natural lashes you won't like it so don't spend your money on it. It's quite pricey I must say. But if you love big shocking lashes like I do, give it a go!



What's your favourite mascara? Let me know in the comments :)

  1. I have really small eyes too, and struggle with making them stand out! Too much eyeshadow or eyeliner simply makes them sunken, but this seems so lovely! Deffo on my wishlist! x

  2. I've heard so much about this mascara but have yet to try it! I have cousins who swear by this mascara! Lately I've been using the Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara.

  6. Great post! I bought the ysl baby doll mascara a while back and it has to be the best one I've ever had! It made my lashes look so long, absolutely loved it, but my only problem with it is that it is quite pricey x

    1. They should be better because of the prize but you can find amazing mascaras in drugstore too! My favourite drugstore brand for mascaras is L'oreal!

  10. You have gorgeous eyes and lashes girl! Lucky you! I've been wanting to try this mascara for the longest but I always go for a drugstore option... have you tried any of the Dior mascaras? They're the BEST in my opinon :)
