Estee
Lauder’s Sumptuous Extreme Mascara is
probably one of most expensive mascara I own but it is also the mascara I would
happily beat down someone over if I catch them trying to use this (and
seeing as I’ve only been in fight once in my life and that was with my sister, that is saying something).
Why do I love the Sumptuous Mascara? Why on earth
would I happily shell out £22 for a mascara? Well apart form being shiny (it’s
sooo shiny), its mousse like formula contains gels, pigments,silica,
mica, etc. etc. etc. doesn’t clump. I find that it adds a lot of volume
to my lashes without making them feel stiff or break off.
The first thing you will notice is how humungous
the wand is; I am warning you now that the mascara wand is quite big, it is
roughly 1 inch and a half in length but when you think that Estee Lauder
stuffed tri-blend multiplying fibres (Hollow Tube Fiber, Solid Rod Fiber and
Micro-Locking Fiber) into this wand, they must have needed the space. Colour
wise, there are 4 shades that you can get but I love this mascara in extreme
black
The Sumptuous Extreme Mascara brings back a lot of
memories for me as it reminds me of my blogging journey and how much blogging
has become a central part of life, as it was actually one of the first products
I reviewed on my blog more than a year ago.
The original pictures taken back in March/May
2011 were dark, had sooo much glare and taken on a black throw that I keep on
my bed (which honestly made the picture look even darker) , but it just marks
how much I’ve learnt and experienced in a year +, so on that note this was
probably more of a sentimental purchase than anything but I do love the
humongous wand on this as I get that cute little flick in the corner of my
eyes.
FYI Boots are supplying the Sumptuous Mascara in a
set
Is it weird to get so sentimental over
mascara? What products do you have that remind you of a certain journey in your
life? Please Share by leaving a comment below because I’m nosey like that
