Review - Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lengthening Mascara

Are you tired of my Revlon ColorStay reviews, yet?
Good, cause I have a couple more to go. ;)

I love Revlon lippies and foundations but I have never found a single Revlon mascara that I really liked.
(On the other hand, I like L'oreal and Maybelline mascaras but not so much for other products from them.)
I still hope Revlon to surprise me with one amazing mascara and open my wallet whenever they bring out a new mascara.
This time, I opened it for ColorStay Overtime Lengthening Mascara in Blackest Black.





From Revlon site :

-Long, intensely dark lashes
-Wears for 24 hours
-No flakes, smears, or smudges
-Tear-proof, sweat-proof, humidity-proof


I like the sleek steely grey tube. ;)


The brush has the usual shape that is pretty common in most lengthening mascaras.
I find it is very easy to handle and quite useful on my lower lashes.

My experience :

- The Blackest Black color I picked up is an intense inky black which is very nice.
- It is not too dry nor too wet and it holds my curls very well.
- I haven't worn this for 24 hours but I do believe it lasts for all day without smudging.
- No flakes experienced
- This mascara is almost like a waterproof one since it is very difficult to remove without a dual phased eye makeup remover or cleansing oil.
- It defines and lengthens pretty well.
- It doesn't give much volume (which is okay since it was not a claim made for this mascara!)

In a nutshell, this is a nice lengthening mascara.
Is it amazing? Maybe not.
I still think this mascara deserves some credit since it lives up all to its claims.
(A little sidetracked, but I hate those rant reviews like "Oh, this does not do anything for oil control. Sucks" when the subject of the review is a moisturizing (!) foundation with dewy finish. )

I have been using this often lately and I am quite pleased with what it does.
I like that it provides clean definition and I can easily apply this on my lower lashes thanks to the sleek brush. 
(BTW, Maybelline Lash Stiletto is another great choice for that.)

I used this mascara in my latest FOTD posts, Here & Here.


Thanks for reading!
Have you tried this mascara? :)
