No7 Stay Perfect Mascara Review

No7 have really up'd their game recently on their new make-up products so when I heard about their new mascara I was very eager to try it out. Although I had gone into the store looking for their 'Curl' mascara (which may have been discontinued?! Can't find it anywhere!) when I saw they didn't have it I wasn't too heartbroken to then have the chance to try out their new one.

This mascara, much like most No7 mascara's, cost £12.95 but of course I used a voucher so got £3 off. This pleased me at the time, however, if I knew how much I wouldn't like this mascara I really wouldn't have bothered. 

Although I really enjoy the packaging (it's so shiny, what's not to love!) it's still very plain and safe. However, it does stand out from the other mascara's on the No7 stand.

The wand is also pretty plain and safe. It's a rubber wand with small spikes going all the way around. Even though the wand is nothing special I don't think it is the problem.

 

 

As the photo below shows the mascara just causes the lashes to stick together. I've never experienced such clumping mascara. The solution dries very quickly and forms some kind of rubbery texture. This then results in it being very difficult to separate and you end up with major spider legs.

 Another major thing I dislike about it is how hard it is to get off, even with a eye make-up remover! It comes off in small clumps but not without a fight so I feel I have to really scrub at my eyes to get fully clean of them. 

One good thing is that it's a really dark black, much like the L'Oreal Telescopic (blogged about here) which is a much loved mascara all over the beauty blogging world! All in all, a mascara with only one good point being the colour, which is something which many other mascara's all feature, is really just not worth it.

I'm very disappointed with No7 as I use a lot of their products and love many of them! I'm secretly hoping that I got a bad one and that the others ones are all amazing.

Anyone else tried it?

Thanks for reading
