YSL Faux Cils Mascara

YSL Mascara #ysl #beauty #beautyblogger #bblogger #beautyreview

I was provided the YSL Faux Cils Mascara free to review. However, all opinions are my own.

Before we do anything else I should mention that we’re going to do things a bit different. I did an in-depth review of the YSL Faux Cils Mascara in the YouTube video below. I’ve noticed that when I do a full review on YouTube and then embed the video in a full review post the video doesn’t get reviews. Plus that winds up being two reviews that I’ve done for one product. So this time what I’m going to do is embed the full review below and then I’ll mention one or two things in the blog post, however, to see the FULL in-depth review (including what I thought of it) you’ll have to watch the video!

YSL Mascara Packaging #ysl #beauty #beautyblogger #bblogger #beautyreview

One of the things that I’ll mention is the packaging. I briefly mention it in the video, however, I’ll go into it a bit more. The packaging for the YSL Faux Cils Mascara is super luxe and gorgeous. The mascara comes in a nice heavy gold tube. I really like this more than the plastic tube that most mascara’s come in.

YSL Mascara Wand #ysl #yslmascara #beauty #beautyblogger #bblogger #beautyreview

Of course I have to talk about the wand of the YSL Faux Cils Mascara. I like that it’s a thicker wand but it’s not to big. It’s big enough that it pulls out enough product to coat the lashes but it’s not so big that it gets all over my nose when I’m trying to get those inner corner lashes. I also like that it has fiber brushes instead of plastic ones.

Remember to check the video for my in-depth, would I repurchase this, review. I’ll leave you with one last thing for this post and that’s the ingredient list.

    How does this work with contact lens wearers? I have problems with some mascara chipping off in my eyes.

      My eyes are super sensitive and mascara flakes off of my lashes super easily and burns my eyes. I was able to wear this all day without a problem so I would think that this one would be easier for contact lens wearers to use.

    I haven’t worn mascara in many years and even when I did, it was just once or twice. This one looks like it works 🙂

      Ha! I’m glad people are starting to notice her. Since I film a lot of videos at one time she tends to get bored. For this video she was sitting above me and I had to edit out her talking over me. 😉

    I rarely use mascara at all anymore–once maybe twice a year. My lashes have always been full enough and long enough that happily I did not need any of the thickening or lengthening formulas! If I have need of some I will look into this brand.

    I’ve never tried YSL anything before when it comes to make up. I don’t know much about any of it to be honest. I like thicker wands when I use my mascara as I tend to usually focus just on my eyes when doing my make up!
