Review of Rubybox ‘Va va volume’ mascara




                                                  source - (with a touch of personal editing)

Here is my review on Rubybox’s ‘Va Va Volume mascara’, for starters it has elegant packaging with a classic black tube – always a winner in my book. Now to see if it’s va va boom!! Or va va doom…

When I was applying the mascara - it had a smooth and easy glide but almost too easy, as it smudged easily which meant there had to be many touch ups done. Not beuno! Once applied it feels a little gloopy, as when I blinked the lashes appeared to stick a little. Which worried me as I’m sure like most of you, when I wear makeup I don’t want to feel it sticking to my face.

But after (quite a long) wait I reapplied a second coat, although having to work out any clumping, once complete it added a lot of volume and even lengthened my little lashes.

On the tube it reads - “Get fatter lashes instantly with this volume-boosting mascara” which makes it the first I’ve seen “fat” on any beauty product other than “removes fat” which I thought was an interesting marketing strategy.

But all in all this Rubybox mascara works and does its job but it’s definitely not on my top 5 list.
