If your eye makeup is not up to the mark, your entire look will not be able to leave a lasting impact. You might not be an expert, but there are few eye makeup basics which one should master with the right products. And one such product is the Mascara!

A good mascara can turn your bad day into a fabulous one by giving you mesmerizing lashes. So, I pay a lot of attention to finding the right one. Maybelline Hypercurl has been my favorite budget mascara brand since college. After using it for years, now I want to have something different and better, so I grabbed Maybelline's Total Temptation Mascara in waterproof Very Black. Let's check out the review!

Packaging & Texture

The brand has divided waterproof mascara and washable mascara by marking them with colors so if you see both of them together, don't be confused. The blue one is the waterproof one and the pink one is the washable one. It comes in a stylish looking cylindrical tube with a slightly bent shaped mascara applicator. The applicator picks up small quantity making it easy for you to work it on your lashes. It even reaches the corners of the eye due to the shape. 

The texture is also smooth and creamy and it does not look clumped on the lashes. People who have small lashes and need mascara to work it will not have any problem using this one. However, it dries up pretty quickly while applying so you either need to be quick or make sure there is no airflow around you. 

There is a slight smell in it, which I am not able to identify but it evaporates in no time. The only thing I don't like is that it makes the eyelashes a bit heavy if you layer it more than two times, which I find annoying. 


My Take

It is a decent mascara given the price and the fact that it is waterproof adds to the benefits. It does not cause irritation to my eyes of any kind and reached the corners of the eye while applying it. I expected it to be slightly thinner on the application so that it doesn't layer that much on the eyes. The mascara wand is pretty nice though, it doesn't cause clumps on the lashes and gives an even finish. Dries up pretty quicky making it a good product for those busy mornings. I really like the design as well, looks pretty chic and high class. 


Pros

  • Waterproof
  • Creamy formula for easy application
  • Mascara wand is good and gives even finish.
  • Budget-friendly
  • Travel friendly
  • Easily available
  • Dries up pretty quickly
  • Does not clump up lashes
  • Lasts all-day



Cons

  • Has a weird smell
  • Dries too quickly so one has to be quick in applying
  • Makes eyelashes heavy on applying more than 2 layers




It is a decent budget-friendly mascara for everyday use. Have you tried it? Share your views with me in the comments!

Lots of Love!!!
