In March 2011, I attended a Beautylish Spring Trend Event.
Here are the products from the swag bag. I will review a Clinique product on the top middle.
I got a small makeup with three Clinique products. For this post, I will review the mascara on the bottom right.

Thoughts: When I received this mascara, I honestly had no opinion about this product.
Here's a closer look at the packaging of the mascara.
Here's a closer look at the logo on the packaging.
Here's a closer look at the wand.
Here's how the mascara looks on me.
Here's a closer look at a different angle.

The first time I ever opened this product it was extremely moist/wet. Whenever I open and close my eyes, the wetness from the mascara on my lashes would stain my contact lenses. It drove me crazy, because it's extremely hard to remove. It also weighed my lashes down from the wetness, and it would smudge a little especially on the bottom lashes. After a month of using this product, I noticed the mascara got less moist/wet. It was easier to use and I got better results. It would hold my curl, gave me some volume, and it did not smudge. Overall, it's a good product towards the middle to end of the usage.

Pros:
* Straight wand; easy to feather the lashes with the tip.
* No clumping.
* Later, it held the curl and gave volume. It also did not smudge.

Cons:
* Straight wand; hard to reach lashes close to the eyes.
* Initially, very moist/wet mascara; weighed down lashes and smudge.

Would repurchase: No.
