YSL Mascara Review

Yves Saint Laurent’s $30 Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils promises to give you a “false lash effect,” and for that price ($30), it better!

I've been testing it in High Density Black, one of the eight colors in the line, and it delivers some of the best pigment I’ve ever seen. It looks deep, dark and rich on my lashes.

The clump-free formula eases onto my lashes, and coat after coat they still feel soft and light to the touch (not crunchy at all).

I have naturally long lashes and like mascaras that add volume; Faux Cils does just that, but it does not give me a false effect like they advertise. For $30, I expect a little more length. I see a noticeable difference, but nowhere near as much as I see from Rimmel’s $10 Lash Accelerator Mascara.

Bottom line is it does make my lashes look great. 

Rating: B-

Pros of Yves Saint Laurent Faux Cils:

• Lash volume
• Smooth mascara > doesn’t clump
• Easy-to-remove 
• Long-wearing mascara that won’t smudge or flake

Cons of Yves Saint Laurent Faux Cils:

• Top dollar ($30)
• No "false" look

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
