Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge Lengthening Mascara

I think most of us would agree that less is more when it comes to product names. Estee Lauder seem to disagree... anyway this little sample tube has great significance to me. It is the last of the little mascara samples in my back up drawer meaning that soon I will actually be able to go and buy a new mascara guilt free! Suggestions in the comments please :-D

The wand on this is a strange one. It’s very thin which actually suits me and my piggy little eyes down to the ground. It’s easy and fuss free to manoeuvre. The formula is a little trickier though. It gives a lovely glossy black finish but the consistency is very wet which can lead to a little bit of clumping on me. I suspect that after a few more weeks it will dry out a bit and become a little easier to work with. Here are the before pictures:


And the afters:


Hmm. Not much added length but plenty of volume and drama. I actually kind of like it although it isn’t the sort of formula I would normally gravitate towards. What I do love about the formula is that it definitely smudge proof. I have had no issues with flaking or running even when I’ve been running around in the constant drizzle that is hanging over Glasgow right now. Despite this it isn’t a pain in the arse to remove, it just takes a bit of warm water and off it comes.

The more I use this the more it’s growing on me. Almost enough to justify the £19.50 (eek!) price tag for the full size! X
