Collection - Skyscraper Mascara - Why I dislike it.

Hey guys!

I don't think I need to mention how popular this mascara is. Every blogger has this and loves it...except for me. After all the hype around it, I decided to purchase the Collection skyscraper mascara and thought that it probably will be amazing. Sadly, I did not get on with this mascara at all. I used it again and again but we did not get along.
I do love the packaging of this! I think the reason I didn't like this was because of the formula which I found rather thin. The brush looked quite promising but everything else for me was a let down. It didn't lengthen my lashes where I would be amazed as quite alot of people claim to be. Instead it made them appear straight and pointy. Besides being a lengthening mascara it also claims to add definition. Now, it didn't exactly do that either. I've used this several times over the last 2 months but everytime I apply it, I have to take it off because it separates my lashes, in a bad way. I am not even sure how to describe this but let's just say it makes my lashes look pretty bad and sparse. Did I get a bad mascara tube or something?! It makes my eyelashes really stiff and straight without any definition or curl to it.
I know this mascara has worked for so many people and I have seen the great results but for me it just did not work at all.

Anyone else ever had a bad experience with this mascara?

  1. You're not the only one. This is probably the crappiest mascara I've ever tried and it does exactly what you described - makes the lashes separate, but like.. way too separate so it looks like your lashes are really sparse and thin. WEIRD.

    1. I wouldn't say it's wet. It's thin consistency wise. you need a lot of coats to build it up! x

  5. I hated this mascara too! The formula is really wet and the wand is far too flexible! It just made my eyes look messy. Luckily I picked it up in Poundland so I didn't waste too much money haha :) xx

  7. Aw that's really sad, the packaging looks so nice, never tried the mascara but I know how it feels like when a mascara just doesn't work, it's a big let down you always expect much from mascara's

    Thanks for the review xxxxx

  8. I think the description you've given of the results sounds like what happens with a mascara I'm trying out at the moment too. Wasn't sure how to describe it either!
