Etude House Lash Perm 3-Step Volumecara
Monday, September 24, 2012 at 12:08PM I keep three to four mascaras on rotation at any given time. Too much? I don't think so! I like getting different lash finishes depending on the look I'm going for. Sweet and nice? Thin and defined lashes should do the trick. Need to look fierce for an event? Volumized and super long lashes will stand out in photos. Casual and lazy? Then I need my lashes to look curled but easy to wash off when I get home. See, it depends. I'm not some crazy mascara junkie.
If you're a fellow mascara junkie lover, then I think you'll love one of the newest mascaras out now: the Etude House Lash Perm 3-Step Volumecara (P748). This mascara promises to give you doll lashes with three different settings and I rather think it does!
The mechanics of the thing is simple enough - just twist the upper portion of the tube and settle on the number with the effect you want to achieve. Step 1 gives you clean definition, Step 2 has more volume and length, while Step 3 is an all-out thick fringe. You can really see the difference! Here's a more detailed take.
What I love about the product
- It's neat that you're basically getting three different mascaras in one tube. How it works is that the twist tube controls how much product gets on the wand. Step 1 only allows for a bit of product, hence the cleaner finish, and so on. Simple but it's a great idea.
- It brings out lashes you didn't know you had. If volume is your thing, this is one good mascara to try.
- The mascara has pretty good staying power even though it's not waterproof. It does smudge, but only minimally. I didn't observe any flaking.
- Fairly easy to remove with a proper eye makeup remover (not the emulsifying ones ha).
- Cute packaging as to be expected from Etude!
- Fairly affordable at P748.
Step 1: Clean, precise, and slightly enhanced
Step 2: Thicker and longer lashes
Step 3: Vavoom lashes! To avoid clumping, comb through your lashes quickly, before it starts getting tacky.
What I don't like about the product
- Doesn't hold the curl as well as I'd like. The lashes don't droop completely but they go down. Volumecara is not a curling mascara.
- Can get clumpy (on Step 3) if you don't work fast.
Recommendations
I highly recommend the Etude House Lash Perm 3-Step Volumecara to girls who love volume on their lashes, as well as getting different finishes according to their look. This really makes the lash base look thicker and fuller, and your lashes, plusher. Much like famous fashion model Lacey Jones's, if you ask me.
If you're looking for something to help hold the curl of your lashes though, this may not be for you.
Verdict
I like it! I'm not crazy about it because I have straight lashes that sorely need a good curl, but otherwise this mascara is a worthy one. Go check it out, then tell me what you think!

OMG!! ang ganda Liz!! :)) Godbless Liz Very nice review
Wow that mascara really make your lashes vavavoom! Im currently using the volumizing Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara, and I love how it gives volume. I am interested to try out this Etude House Lash Perm 3-Step Volumecara, and see if it gives better volume! By the way, your microshots are amazing and, I super love your final look in the last photo!! :)
So it doesnt work like the usual mascaras where you just dip it in, and thats it. How does this one work? Love your vavoom lashes on step 3.
Wow it can really add major volume to your lashes. Great for events and nights out :) another innovative product from Etude House
I normally don't wear mascaras. But this might be a good alternative for those high-end ones that are volumizing and does the same job. Hmmm... (now you got me thinking!) lol
Awww too bad that it can't hold curls. I'm all for brighter looking eyes via curled lashes. I still think it's a nice mascara to try. :)
it definitely gave your lashes the length and volume you needed. too bad it doesn't hold the curl that well. but otherwise, this looks like a really good mascara. I'm currently loving the Etude House Lash Petticoat and Big Eye Vitacara Mascara combination... makes my lashes vavavoom as well...LOL
Wow, volume kung volume ito! I love the effect Ms. Liz, very clean sya tingnan and very flattering :)
The concept is really cool. It's the first time I've heard of such feature on a mascara. It's a letdown though, that the curl doesn't hold. I'll stick to Lash King and Max Factor's False Lash Effect (Yes! I bought it after reading your review hehe) :)
Hey, awesome macro shot of your eye! :D What camera and lens are you using?
I'm already sold one the step 1 hahaha. But you said it smudges, so kind of hesitant. :|
wow mascara! i love to have curly eye lashes (i'm using curler). I'm not really using a mascara because sobrang bigat ng eye lashes plus nagsmudge sya big time. ang mga nagamit kong mascara ay not so good. so i wanna ask, hindi ba sya mabigat sa mata..? inaantok kasi ako pagkaganun.. thank you..
LOLd at the name. Korean brands come up with the funniest product names ever.
Lash perm 3-step volumecara! :) that's funny and interesting! :) well, i am really in the look for a perfect mascara but Im into my Lash King right now. :) if this clumps, uhm kind of hesitant :P but to be honest, Im quite impressed with Etude House's improvement as to their products :) love them! <3
