Want lashes like a cat's?

Bought a new mascara a few weeks ago ~ Maybelline's Cat Eyes Mascara. It promises super curled  and lengthened lashes, easy application and it's water-proof and smudge-proof. And it really lives up to all that it claims to do. The plastic comb-like applicator makes it easy to apply the mascara on both upper and lower lashes.

The result is super long and curled lashes. Very lasting, no smudges and no flecks of mascara falling on my face. The applicator needs some getting used to but after using it a few times, I am able to use it easily.

A couple of downsides though: 1) It's kinda hard to remove, gotta use oil-based eye makeup remover and it takes a while to completely remove it & 2) Sometimes it'll clump up, especially if I apply the 2nd coat without waiting for the 1st one to completely dry.

I still prefer the Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara. Although not as lengthening, it is also curling and smudge-proof, and it's volumnising. AND, it's really easy to remove. Just soak lashes with tepid water and it'll all come off. Well, I guess it's up to individual preference, whether they want super long lashes or super volumnised ones and whether they mind spending more time in removing it.
