First Impression
If you watched the video you know that I thought the Smashbox Full Exposure mascara was pretty great. I didn’t curl my lashes before applying this mascara and one quote gave me visible length and volume. If you let the first coat dry and apply a second coat it gets even better. I wouldn’t go more than two because after that it starts to get flaky. This mascara also came off easily when I removed my makeup, but it didn’t budge the whole day I was wearing it. My one complaint about this mascara is that the wand is so freaking huge that it’s hard to get the inner corner of the lashes without swiping your nose, and it’s almost impossible to get the bottom lashes. Other than that I would repurchase this again!
Thanks for the info! That brush does look giant.
I haven’t tried their mascara but I really like smashbox products so I can imagine that their mascara would be something I would like too.
I love Mascara but I’ve never ever tried any from Smashbox! I can totally see how the wand would be hard to get a good coat on the inside near the nose, BUT, I bet it gives great coverage! I’m a 2 coater, myself. 😀
I love Smashbox eyeshadow but have never used their mascara. I love the way it lengthened and darkened your lashes. This is something I look for in an everyday mascara. I’m with you on the wand though. I hate when they are bigger than they need to be.
I have this mascara and love it!
You can definitely tell a difference in length and volume! I’m lucky in that I have really long lashes to begin with, but I do love the look of thicker lashes when I add mascara.
Wow, that really did give your lashes some nice length. The side by side picture is great so we can see how much of a difference it really did make!
Wow! Your eye looks fantastic with this type of mascara on it. Thanks for the new idea. I’d love to try this brand. 🙂
What a huge difference I can see in your eye lashes. At my age I don’t care if mine are long or short, but my Daughter does. She is always buying something to make her lashes look longer.
Oh wow that brush is huge! I was not expecting that, haha. I do feel like with a bigger brush I get bigger lashes though 🙂 I tend to swipe my face pretty often anyways, so I don’t think it’d deter me from buying it toooo much 😉
I know right?! I pulled the wand out of the tube and was like “WOAH that’s ginormous” lol
I’m always looking for good mascara reviews. My eyes are super sensitive and need a good quality brand.
I much prefer applicator brushes like Cover Girl, where the nubs are plastic and the brushes can’t clump together. I can easily get more volume that way, too!
Oh how I LOVE mascara, LOL! I will have to look into this one! Sounds like it works great for you.
I love wearing mascara! It’s such an easy way to make your eyes stand out!
Oh wow, you can totally see the difference! I keep hearing I need to try Smashbox.
This looks like it works great! I haven’t found a mascara that I’ve wanted to stick with.
I got this same sample and I wasn’t too impressed. I like a thick mascara they really costs the lashes and makes them pop even without a curler. L’Oreal Fiber lash is amazing!! If you have not tried it you must!! I mean I love Smashbox but this formula was just ok.
I can’t really wear mascara because my eyelashes are so long! I cannot seem to keep it off my eyeglasses when I try to apply it.
I have short straight lashes and they could use the boost like this. I’ll try it!
I need help for my eye lashes! I would like to see if this would help mine. lol
this one has been on my list for a while now! thanks for the review
I haven’t tried the mascara yet, but I love Smashbox. The difference with your bare lash and the first lash you put it on is amazing!
That did offer up nice volume and boost. I like to try new mascaras. I love that this one was easy to take off at the end of the day.
I wish I had that Smashbox. I am in need of a new tube of mascara.
I seldom wear mascara but not really sure why! It does make a huge difference and makes your appearance a more appealing and sexier. I better start incorporating it in my daily makeup! Thanks for sharing, you convinced me!
That mascara looks awesome on your lashes. It’s too bad the wand is so huge!
Wow! You can really see the difference. I was blessed with long dark lashes.
Oh I’m on a search for a new mascara! Might need to try this one!
Smashbox is a great brand. Love this review!
First off thank you for your honest review! It really did give you alot of volume. I haven’t tried any SmashBox products but will do so if I catch it on sale!
Thank you for such an honest review. I haven’t tried any smashbox products, but will now if I catch it on sale!
My teen has started wearing mascara and would love this. I like wearing it too, when I remember! This made your eyes pop so I may try it.
I love smash box! I like the way this doesn’t make your eyelashes look spidery.
It does give great lenght and volume! A very good product, I need to try it out some time.
Huge difference in your lashes. I will give this a try. Thanks for sharing
I don’t wear mascara much . I ove the way you demonstrated how it makes the eyes pop n a very pretty way… will need to tyr it.
Hmmm Your lashes look beautiful! Even with the large brush, I’d still be interested in trying this one out, based on your visible results.
I am loving this! I could really see the difference! I don’t no about the price though…mascara is a cheaper beauty product I buy.
