I'm forever searching for the perfect mascara. I have fair, short, natural lashes and don't particularly like wearing falsies as I find them extremely uncomfortable. I recently picked this up while in Boots and thought I'd give it a go - I hadn't heard a lot about this mascara but as it's packaging was promising 'x12 volume' I was intrigued.

I want big, fat, luscious lashes. So when it comes to mascaras, I want the blackest black available with a chunky brush. 17 claim that 'the big-barrel brush sculpts & teases every lash for bigger, bolder, bouffant lashes'. Blow Out delivered. The colour intensity is exactly what I need in a mascara, and the brush is just the right size for the job at hand. The formula also contains Vitamin E and Argan Oil so it conditions your lashes too. I found that this mascara worked really well for me, not only making my lashes appear longer, but thicker too. I've been using this for a couple of weeks now, and so far...no flaking! (number 1 pet peeve of mascaras!) I think it's safe to say that this has to be the best mascara I've used in a long time.
