This mascara is beyond major

I’m one of those people who will not leave the house without mascara—even if that’s the only makeup I put on. It’s not because I have short, thin or sparse lashes (actually quite the opposite, with no extra effort at that). I simply feel naked without it. I’m loyal to Glossier’s Lash Slick for day because it holds up to whatever may come my eyes’ way, but I recently came to the end of my NARS Climax Mascara (which has served me quite well for evening and more “formal” occasions).  

Always one to look on the beauty bright side, I finally had a legitimate reason to try Pat McGrath’s FetishEYES Mascara and it was love at first swipe. Actually, I was smitten upon opening it for the first time. You know how it usually takes a little tugging to get the wand all the way out of the tube? The Pat McGrath wand glides out effortlessly, without that annoying blob of excess at the tip of the brush that either needs to be scraped off or blotted with a tissue. 

And then I actually applied it… After one light pass I couldn’t believe how separated my lashes were. It’s like I could see each and every one. The fluffy brush easily coated every lash from root to tip with nary a clump in sight. A second coat yielded more thickening, lift and length without looking overdone. I’m sure I could even go in for the third layer without worry if I really wanted to make a major lash statement.

Bottom line: I give this mascara a 10 out of 10 (and frankly, wouldn’t expect anything less from Pat McGrath since every product I’ve tried has been a winner).
