There are some reviews I hesitate to do, like foundation, skincare, and well, mascara, just because those items belong in such subjective territory (and if I were to be completely honest, because those are hard to photograph too. I tried taking a million before/after pictures when it comes to foundation but it looks the same). Nevertheless, consider this a shaky first step into expanding product reviews to a broader range.
Along with the lip products, Ellis Faas sent me some eye products as well, which includes a mascara. I was surprised then because I didn't know the comapny made mascara (or blush, the packaging gave me the impression that it was strictly a lip/eye/skin thing). The Ellis Faas Mascara is said to do three things: coat, lengthen, and separate. It is housed in the same bullet-type packaging, but it's the most "normal" of all its products in that you screw the top open to find a regular mascara wand waiting to make an impact on your lashes.
Top-bottom: Bare Lashes, One Coat, Two Coats
As far as its coating and separating and lengthening qualities, all is well. I mean, this is mascara. If it gets the job done on my straight nonexistent Asian lashes (seriously. did you see that first picture?), I'm happy. I prefer using this mascara on top of another, like one with a volumizing formula, to get the best use out of it.

I know this mascara comes at a shocking price, but the one thing that justifies it for me is at the end of a long day, my lashes remain curled as if it just went through a round of pinching. 'tis a novel feeling, that.
Ellis Faas Mascara retails for $34 and is available at ellisfaas.com, sephora.com, and Space NK.
The product in this post was sent from the company for review purposes.
P.S: I've picked a winner for the Lancome Erika F giveaway!
OK, you've enabled me! I'm getting the mascara!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous mascara! But yikes I still can't justify that price, maybe when I'm older/get a job LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am an Eliis Faas fan and although it is lovely I prefer my Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara over this.
ReplyDeleteWell, I will never get around how amazing your lip shape is. Oh yes, and the mascara looks cool too ;)
ReplyDeleteJamilla- :)
ReplyDeleteMaggie- I know... I hesitate at that myself. Seems like such a huge amount to spend on something I have to toss in 3 months :(
Anonymous- Oooh! I've heard such great things about it but I've never tried it out long enough to make my own judgments.
Rocaille- *blushes*
Total enabler you are! Just like Jamilla said! :P
ReplyDeleteI love the Majolica Majorca mascara to keep my straight asian lashes curled but it is such a pain in the butt to take off!
Gorgeous make up, i think that majorca mascara is the bast way to put your eyes in first view position of viewer
