Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen Feline Blacks Waterproof Mascara Lash Mascara

I absolutely did not like this mascara! It leaves marks on the eyelids, and yet it is very difficult to remove. I am disappointed with this purchase. The mascara from Vera Brezhneva, on the other hand, washes off much better with warm water!

For the photo review, I only painted one eye, not the other. The effect is decent, but considering that it doesn't actually stay on the eyelids throughout the day, I'll give it a rating of 2 out of 5 stars. Even when I accidentally fell asleep during lunch with my child, my eyes still looked beautiful, as if I had just applied mascara. It easily comes off with makeup remover.

I bought this product in Germany. As of today, according to my criteria, this is the best mascara. Specifically, for oily skin, where any mascara leaves blue marks under the eyes, this mascara stays on the lashes all day without a trace. It doesn't crumble, it doesn't clump the lashes, there are no lumps, naturally. It's waterproof to the extreme, tested under the shower. However, it doesn't provide much length or volume. It lasted me a year; I apply it 2-3 times a week.

This mascara is great - it adds volume and separates my lashes beautifully. It stays on well throughout the day, without any smudging until the evening. It's not waterproof, so you'll need a special remover to take it off. The only downside is that it tends to dry out after about five months.
