Dior Blackout

Yay a mascara review. Diorshow has been my first love and after it went to mascara heaven, I bought its sister Dior Blackout. Expectations were high but at this price range, I should have high hopes and they better be fulfilled. Around $24 for this mascara, it is high on the mascara price range and so pretty to look at. Like Dior show, the wand is huge, and while this may be fine for some, for my tiny asian eyes, NO. I always have to be careful when applying this because more often than not, I will get mascara on my lids. Btw, I just want to let you know, I do not like or really use lengthening mascaras, I prefer volumizing ones. Plain bare eyelashes. I ask you to pay attention to the outer upper lashes that are wonkily sticking out. This will be the best indicator of how the mascara affected my lashes.
Huge. .But oh so sleek and pretty. Look at that wand. Get ready for creepy eye shots.


One coat. You can see that there is a lot more volume and subtle length. This is not a lengthening mascara. It is a volumizing mascara. Nice black lashes, No clumping and gives me great definition to my lashes.


Second coat. More volume, but with that comes clumping. You can go through the trouble of combing them out, but I have no patience and do not do this.

I think this was a better picture of the second coat but instead its sorta creepy. Anyhow, I probably will not be repurchasing this, because I preferred Diorshow. With the other, I could apply two coats and ave it look like falsies without clumping. While this voluminous greatly, with almost no smudging and flaking, its just not really WOW worth $24. So yeah, just because its pricey, doesn't mean its worth it. Btw anyone else want to try the Extase, but can't pay$28, its available as a free sample in Sephora. I probably won't be getting it but I seriously want it. For the next review, I probably don't really have anything that I really want to
show you. Maybe the Missha BB cream. But let's see how things go.
