Christian Dior Diorshow Mascara

I love buying make up and have built up a big collection of it over the years, you may know this already if you've ever read any of my reviews before, as most of them are about make up and beauty products.
Well anyway one thing I really love is finding a good deal on make up or finding a bargain. I love eBay for this! I was on eBay one day and saw this mascara for sale. It was much cheaper than it would normally cost in the shops. It was about £10 when if you were to go for Debenhams for this it would cost you about £20, double the price!
I checked the product was OK and it seemed trustworthy enough, it was a buy it now, brand new item, and more had been sold and so far everyone else had left positive feedback. So I trusted it to be genuine. Anyway I think eBay takes products off if they aren't genuine. So I didn't have any doubts about whether it would be the real thing or not.

I have read on lots of different make up websites that this mascara is one of the best out there. I had actually thought about buying it before, but had always been put off by how expensive it normally is. So now that I had seen it at such a cut price I decided I would try it.

I don't think I have tried many products from this brand before. But like most people I have of course already heard of Dior, and know it to be a luxury designer brand. So I felt very special having this luxury product in my make up bag! I don't think I would be able to afford anything else from this brand so can't really compare it to anything else from the same brand.

The bottle design is nice enough. It is nothing too special but it still looks OK. It is black with silver writing. Even though it is nice for the packaging to look good, it is more important that the product works well and does what it says on the box so thats what I'll focus on more in this review.
And this mascara does do what it says on the box. I had high hopes for this mascara and I was not disappointed when I got it and used it.

Sometimes when you get a mascara the actual liquid mascara bit itself can be really sticky and gooey, well this was not the case with this mascara. Somehow it was just the perfect consistency. It must be hard making mascara as you don't want it too thin or runny or too thick and sticky. Well anyway the consistency of this mascara is right in the middle, making it a 5 star buy.

The brush is also really good, there is no special design to it, its bascially just a normal mascara brush, but it suits the mascara and they work well together to make a great mascara overall. If you find mascara tricky to apply you might find this hard to apply. Sometimes I get it on my eyelids as well as my eyelashes, but this happens with most mascaras to be fair, and all I have to do is wipe it off with a cotton bud or even just my finger tip.

This is also easy to remove. It comes off when I wash my face, as it is not waterproof. I would not recommend wearing this for swimming or being out in heavy rain for a long time, it will run. It doesn't normally smudge but it would under these circumstances. Also I would not wear this for exercising if you are going to be sweating at lot.

If you want a mascara that is suitable for everyday wear, but can be transformed into a night mascara by simply adding a few more coats, then this is for you. I don't think I would pay £20+ for it but at £10 (thank god for ebay!!) this is a brilliant mascara and I would defintely recommend it.
