As a Curler devotee imagine my delight when Clinique made the claim that you can throw out your curler when using their new mascara. Unfortunately it doesn't live up to this lofty claim, but nevertheless combined with a curler this mascara is quite lovely. It gives your lashes a very glossy black finish, and will hold them in place with industrial strength all day. The instructions provided suggest to scoop lashes and wiggle the wand through, then turn the curved brush around and apply pressure to curl your lashes - I've tried several times with this technique and all it leads to is very clumpy looking lashes that are certainly not as curly as using an actual eye lash curler. Also when applying go sparingly as this mascara does have a tendency to clump due to it's quite smooth almost runny consistency - it's easy to put too much on too quickly leading to the dreaded Tammy Faye look. The other great thing about this mascara is its ease of removal - I soak my eyelashes gently with a fashwasher then rinse off - it come away in clumps without the need for makeup remover and doesn't irritate my eyes at all. Just a note on the images - I've used Mabelline Great lash mascara on my bottom eyelashes as the small brush is great for getting to those small lashes without smudging. For the Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara I give it 4 winks out of 5.
