Hello lovelies! Today I have a new blog post about an item that I received to try out from Influenster. If you don't know what Influenster is get on it! My friend referred me to the site which is basically "a community for social media hotshots to share news, products, and reviews". As an influenster all you have to do is review products and take little surveys to heighten your impact score in order to receive a free box of goodies to try out.
This is the first time that I received an influenster box, which is the beauty influenster box, since this is the category that I am most interested and dedicated in. The beauty box is by Marc Jacobs and I received the Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara.
I am so excited to try out and review this mascara since this is the first Marc Jacobs beauty product I have ever owned! If you want to find out what I think about this mascara then please click on Read More.
First off I just want to talk about how gorgeous the packaging of this mascara is. It is in this sleek black hexagon shape. It is a bit weighted which I really like because it makes the mascara feel not only high end but easy to control. I really love the design of this mascara and is by far one of my favorites. It is so simple yet unique.
Now let's move on to what this mascara claims.
Claims: An ultra volumizing mascara that delivers instant dimension for epic lashes. What it does: Experience ultimate volume and the look of thick, false lashes with Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara. The lash-maximizing, curvy brush places the most volume at the hard-to-reach center lash line, and the defining tip styles lashes for major drama. The super-concentrated pigment delivers the greatest visual impact, and the Flash Volume Complex creates instant, smudge-proof length and volume in three strokes or less. Velvet Noir gives you the thickest lashes in one sweep. Apply Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara on its own, or layer with O!Mega Lash Volumizing Mascara and Lame Noir Ultra-Glittering Mascara to style your lashes for every occasion. This is formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. (info taken from: www.sephora.com)
Let's start with the brush. I absolutely love the brush. It is curvy and bigger than traditional mascara brushes. It also has this swirl effect where the brush isn't straight it's actually twisted. The little brush hairs does an amazing job of grabbing every single eye lash, and in even the tougher areas like the inner corner lashes of my eyes.
The pigmentation of this mascara is truly black and super pigmented. My lashes were well coated with black and made my lashes look more prominent. I didn't have any problem applying the mascara to my lashes. Below I have comparisons between not having any mascara on, having one coat of mascara on, and having two coats of mascara on.
In this picture is my eye without any mascara on. I do like to put thick eyeliner on so I prefer mascara that really lengthens and volumizes so that it stands out against the eyeliner.
And here is what the mascara looks like with one coat on. As you can see it made my lashes black and it lengthened them. I really like the fluttery look that it gave me. But I wanted more volume so I decided to put on another coat of mascara.
Overall Thoughts:
I really do like this mascara. I think that it does a good job in volumizing and lengthening my lashes. I particularly enjoyed the brush because it is so easy to coat every lash with it. Although it does this, I did find that the mascara did smudge a little bit and flake a little bit at the end of the day. It wasn't too bad with the help of cleaning it up but other than that the curl and pigmentation lasted on my lashes all day.
And that is it for my review on the Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara! I'm really glad to have been chosen by Influenster to receive this box and I can't wait for more!

With the second coat of mascara, my eyelashes looked fuller and more lengthened. It does look a little clumpy up close but from far away I really liked the effect I got. My lashes stood out against my eyeliner and I got a lot of compliments on them. I feel to get major volume you would need a third coat but it may look really clumpy.
