Review: Clinique High Impact Mascara
Monday, January 4, 2010 at 4:52PM Hey guys, what’s up? I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been around these parts. I’ve just been busy with life in general. Quite busy, would you believe. Anyway, today I’m going to tell you about this great product I got from Clinique. It’s been my go-to mascara lately because:
- It applies cleanly. No clumps, no need to comb the lashes to separate.
- The effect is very natural.
- Doesn’t smudge on me
- Washes off easily.
However, this still isn’t my favorite mascara. My heart still goes to my Avon Astonishing Lengths Mascara because it really makes my lashes look dramatic and super sexy. With this Clinique mascara, on the other hand, you DON’T get what’s promised—high-impact lashes—no matter how many coats you apply. So if you’re the sort of person who likes clean and pretty lashes that aren’t too obviously made up, this mascara is for you.
Hence, this is my everyday mascara as I don’t want my lashes to look overdone. I mean, seriously, I just need something to look good at work but not appear too made up. I recommend you use this if you want to look professional and/or natural. Here’s how it looks like applied (two coats):
So, what’s your favorite mascara and why?

1. ROCK ON MASCARA (unfortunately not available in the Philippines, i bought mine in Japan)
-why? because it really lengthens my lashes beyond my imaginations but surprisingly....it still looks natural! It's not wet, I find wet looking eyelashes old school. plus, it is SO easy to remove even though it's waterproof and oil proof. i've already used 9 tubes of rock on mascara & i am still crazy about this product. can't wait to buy again when i go back to Japan this summer.
2. HELENA RUBINSTEIN
-why? this brand is a classic & does the trick. also, i love cute packagings!
PS
i really enjoy your blog. keep it up!

This item has long been in my stash but since i don't wear make-up regularly, i never really got acquainted with it. Have just recently re-discovered this mascara adn I am happy it does the job. You're right that it gives definition but nothing spectacular actually. I love the size because it's super handy and can fit even in the smallest of purses so you cna still touch up on special ocassion
