Today I’m
going to review the Josie Maran Black Oil Argan Mascara in Black. I got a
sample size of this mascara as part of the Winter Dreams collection last year
and still hadn’t used it. It’s one of the few cruelty-free mascaras I have in
my collection so I wanted to test it out. The full-size is available separately
for $22. It contains argan oil which is supposed to help condition your lashes.
It claims to condition, lengthen, curl, volumize and lift your lashes.
The wand is
big and is shaped like discs stacked on top of each other (I hope that makes
sense, you can see it in the above photo pretty well). Even though the wand is big I
haven’t had any issues with the product transferring to my brow. The formula is
definitely on the dry side. I don’t know if this is how the formula actually is
or if it’s drier because I opened the tube a while ago to see what the wand
looked like. I can’t remember if I opened it when I got it…
This
mascara performs well. I don’t have to curl my lashes beforehand since the
mascara curls my lashes and holds the curl all day long (12+ hours). It
definitely lengthens my lashes too. With one coat this is a very natural
looking mascara. At two coats it still looks natural so if you want
va-va-va-voom mascara this isn’t the one for you. Because it is natural looking
it doesn’t add much volume to the lashes. I haven’t noticed any clumping. My
only complaint is that this mascara flakes a little bit. The flaking isn’t
offensive and might be due to the dryness of the formula (again, that could be
because I opened the mascara months ago and let air in). Overall, if you are
looking for a natural-looking cruelty-free mascara this is a pretty good one. I
don’t see myself purchasing it because of the cost, but I wouldn’t mind having
another sample.
