Clinique bottom lash mascara - 01 black

Good evening! (or morning or afternoon, or whatever time of the day you happen to be reading this) :)

The whole 'bottom lash mascara' thing has been around for a while now and I was gifted this by my boyfriend, and I couldn't wait to try it out. So is this bottom lash mascara thing just a gimick? Well...

This is the Clinique one in 01 black (and I think they do (an)other colour(s) because the lady said, "we've only got the black one", I pressume there's a brown one too). The packaging is ADORABLE. It's so teeny tiny and makes application much more fun. The silver/grey foral print on the tube is pretty too- oh so very chic. 

As you can see below, the wand is very little. I'd say its about the same size as a bud of a cotton bud (maybe even fractionally smaller!). You can really get every lash on the bottom lash line and boy is it satisfying. The formula isn't dry but it isn't too wet, it's a nice inbetween consistency. 

The only problem is, because my lashes are very temperamental, rather than making my bottom lashes look curled down, although they looked longer and thicker, they were all limp- but that's probably just my ridiculous eyelashes. Do they do a waterproof version? Because that would be good....for me anyway, and anyone else who has the same problem I do. 

Using this is definitely a novelty for me, I love being able to catch every single lash. You can use this on your upper lashes too like usual. It might take a few more strokes to build up upper lashes but at least it will be precise! 

All in all, I do like this but I don't know if I will repurchase this. This was bought from the Clinique concession inside a Boots store, £12 for 2ml.
