Review: Artdeco All in One Mascara in Black

Hello Beauty Junkies,

I have another review for you guys. This time it's about the All In One Mascara by Art Deco.

Since I am a big fan of mascara I love to try out new ones and when I saw this one in my Glossybox from July I immediately gave it a try.
It contains among other things Panthenol, Hydrogenated Olive Oil and Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, so it's recommendable when you have sensitive skin or frail lashes.

This mascara is available in six different shades: black, grey, brown, blue, olive and berry. It promises to be a long lasting mascara which helps your lashes to appear longer, fuller and at the same time maintain their flexibility and curl. When you live in Germany you can purchase it at Douglas for € 12,80 (~ $19, ~ £11).







My thoughts...

... on the packaging. The design is simple yet doesn't look cheap, I like the black and silver packaging.

... on the texture, colour and smell. I can't say anything about the other colours, but this one is a nice deep black, the texture is creamy and smooth and I love the smell of this mascara. It doesn't have this average chemical smell, instead it reminds me of a moisturiser, I can't really tell, but it's really nice.

... the mascara itself. I hate it when I have to wipe of some of the product on a tissue before I can apply it and this is what happened when I used the mascara the first times. The mascara does go on clean if you wipe off the excess product otherwise your lashes will clump together. To be honest I don't really see a great difference in terms of volume, but this mascara does lengthen my lashes. It stays on the whole day and doesn't smudge (I wore it on a hot day in summer) which is a big plus.

... on the remove. It's easy to remove, I can't say whether you can wash it off with water easily because I always use a make up remover, but you won't have to rub it off.

All in all this is a nice product. I don't mind that it doesn't separate the lashes perfectly, it does lengthen them well and won't run off.
Nevertheless I wouldn't buy it. Why? Because I already have my all time favourite mascara in terms of long lashes and I need a product which is waterproof. However I can recommend this mascara, it's not as cheap as other drug store products but I think it does it job for it's price.
