Hello everyone!
One of my favourite makeup product to try is mascara. There’s something about having bold, black lashes that makes me all mushy inside. I know there are other ways to achieve this (false lashes, lash extensions), but there’s just something about a good mascara that gets to me. So I was really excited when I received this mascara from Essential Care (also known as Odylique) to try out.
With smooth and fast-drying application, our mascaras are smudge-resistant and packed with deeply conditioning plant extracts like aloe vera, calendula and sea buckthorn fruit to beautifully define and care for your lashes.

I really like the brush on this mascara because you really get NO CLUMPS! If you see a little clump on your lashes, just go over it again with the brush and it is GONE! I don’t like clumps.
MASCARA FACE! 😀
Let see how this one performs on my lashes – here I am au naturel, with one coat, and with two coats.
The end result is very natural, and I mean VERY natural – a bit too natural for my liking.
I have a problem with mascaras where I’d say 95% of the ones I try give me raccoon eyes. For the longest time I thought it was because I had oily lids, and it may have something to do with it too, but I recently realized there’s also another reason: I have this nervous tick where I squeeze my eyes shut tight every few minutes or so. It’s something I’ve been doing since I was a kid and as much as I try to stop it, the need to do it gets stronger the more I try not to do it.
Let’s see how this mascara held up against my habit; here I am four hours later…
Not too well, but like I said most mascaras do this to me so I was expecting it – I always do.
In the end this mascara is not for me – obviously. If it was not for the smudging, I don’t think I would use it all that much though because I like my mascaras to give me ultra black and bold lashes, and this one did not do that. However, if you like a very natural look and you don’t have smudging issues like I do then you’d probably really like this mascara.
What do you look for in a mascara? Is this one too natural for you or is this the effect that you like?
This mascara retails for $33 USD on Odylique.com and it also comes in brown.

Yeah that is way too natural for my liking. And for a $33 USD price point? Holy god, not worth it.
Love that mascara applying shot though. hahaha!
Gotta love mascara faces! 😉
I agree that the price is steep for the result. I think this would appeal more to people looking for natural products (ingredient-wise).
Haha, loved your pictures!
It’s a nice natural look if that’s what you’re going for. I prefer pretty prominent, dark lashes… It’s nice that it doesn’t clump though!
Completely out of my price range, however!

Thank you Elyse! 🙂
Yeah this one is pricy, but completely natural so great for those looking for those kinds of products.
Your first mascara photo is priceless! It seems way too natural for my liking (i like it clumpy!) but perhaps a great one for prepping your lashes for false lashes as you only need a light coat for falsies.
Thank you Zubie! 🙂
Yes, this would be great to prep your lashes! Even for using a different mascara as a second coat. Maybe I could try it like that and use one that doesn’t smudge to see if that would make a difference.
