AUBERGINE MASCARA – THE NEW BROWN?

Coloured mascaras are definitely having their moment… again, but this new launch from Clinique got my attention and really got me excited to do my makeup. Brown mascara has always been a more natural option but personally when I’ve tried brown mascara it hasn’t had enough umpff for my lashes.

Clinique have quite a few products in their ‘Black Honey’ shade and now their bringing out a new Chubby Mascara in a few shades, including Black Honey. In terms of packaging the Chubby Mascara is very similar to the High Impact Extreme Volume mascara (which is my all time favourite) but the effect it gives on the lashes is a little bit different and I still prefer the H.I.E.V for full, thick lashes.

The colour though, wow, I love it! It’s a limited edition shade which is a shame as I think it’s going to be really popular. It’s not brown and it’s not black, it’s almost like an aubergine shade (reddy brown and purple tones). On the lashes it looks darker than you’d imagine but it has a subtle hint of purple that looks really pretty, soft and just a bit different. I wouldn’t recommend this if you have an oily eye area as the mascara is not waterproof and having purple mascara smear around your eyes is a really bad idea.

I’m a big fan of the Black Honey Chubby Mascara so I would recommend trying it whilst it’s out in stores (£17.50). It’s something a bit different but not too different. What do you think?
