Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara

Hey guys,

So a few days ago I decided to pick up one of Revlons new mascaras, the Photoready 3D Volume mascara. I've never seen it in the UK before - so I thought it was new but apparently they do sell it in the UK because I found it on boots.com!


What sold me was the brush. It had that sort of spike-y ball at the top of the applicator, just like the Benefit They're Real! Mascara. 

Packaging: 

This mascara is in a thick, square tube. It's definitely on the bulky side, but I never seemed to mind. The design is in a simple, black tube with a slightly mirrored cap. The matte texture actually reminds me of a camera!

Applicator: 

As I mentioned before, the applicator has a rounded tip, which I actually like. It also has a bendy brush which also helps to coat every hair. It really gets those lashes in the outer corner that are sometimes hard to reach. I think it'd be a nice touch to any mascara.

Formula: 

This mascara claims to give volume and I do believe it does that. My lashes look very lifted and voluminous with this and I find that even without curling my lashes, it provides a nice curl that doesn't go limp by the end of the day. Another thing I noticed is that it separates very well to the point where lashes I didn't know I had were showing up, particularly in the inner corner of my eye. This mascara also does not flake, which is a huge plus.

Price: 

Around $90. Fairly reasonable for a drugstore mascara. I would not be put off by this price and would buy it again. 

No mascara (a bit of eyeliner though!)

1 coat

2 coats

So whats the verdict?

MY RATING: 5/5 

Basically I really love this mascara. I mean, it's no Bourjois Fast & Perfect but its up there. I love the volume it gives and it has great staying power!
