as you all know, i haven't found a mascara that i really really love. i seldom repurchase my mascara and always try something new. though i've probably mentioned that i like the max factor and loreal butterfly mascara, but i want to try something else. and there's this etude house mascara.. their 3 step is interesting.. so i search and mostly bloggers review the etude house lash perm 3 step volumecara one.. but i have pretty thick lashes, so i don't need the volume only.. that's why i'm interested more in the volumecara & curling one.
this is the description i found in en.koreadepart.com: volume & curling mascara that 360 degree wing eye lashes which stretches like flying creates big and sharp eye look. applies wide-wing system to highlight every eye lash without lump and remain rich and spectacular curve. deep and rich extreme black color creates vivid and sharp eye look. contains light powder like downy hair to remain firm curling without slack for hours. black complex creates shining and strong eye lashes.
how to use: turn the container in order of step 1 --> step 2 --> step 3.
step 1: move a flat side with content in zigzagging move and lift volume up.
step 2: fit hollow part of brush to the root of eye lashes and lift powerfully for curling up.
step 3: hold perpendicularly and touch in zigzagging move lightly to create much bigger and sharper eye look.
note: i'm so sorry for the long due. i haven't got the chance to take proper picture of this mascara. i've used it couple times and i can't seem to get hang of it. so this time i pushed myself to take some picture just to get it done. let me remind you that i have this for awhile. but the formula didn't get any drier than before.
the packaging: since it's quite some time, i already lost the box. all i can remember it has the same color as the mascara tube, which is yellow and black. the other version is pink. so it makes it easier to differentiate between them. there's also instruction and picture about how to use it at the back of the box. in english too. yay! the mascara tube is plastic, yellow and black. the yellow part is the part where you can twist the body to change the step, from 1 to 3. there's a "stop" indicator at the lower part of the body.
the color: mine is black and it's very dark black. very intense.
the product: the formula is on the wet side. it's very wet when i got it the first time that i had difficulty using it. it will smudge all over my eyes area, and it's very hard to keep my eyes open all the time during waiting time. but as time goes by, it gets slightly drier. but it doesn't get any more drier than that, which is weird. the wand has a curve shape, with shorter bristles on the hollow part. now, i might be wrong, but lately i observe it more and i think it has fibers in them so it will add volume to eyelashes. the more you twist the wand, the fuller the bristles, or so i thought.
the result: since the formula is wet, it's very easy to smudge and clump. on the first step, i immediately notice the added length and volume to my eyelashes. with the second step, it gets slightly curled (i don't use any eyelash curler). but it clumps easily. and with the third step, i get the spider lashes. seriously, it's hard to achieve the fuller look without clump since the formula is wet. and even though this one isn't waterproof, cleaning it is still troublesome. you have to use separate eye makeup remover before using cleansing oil or cleansing water to completely remove the mascara.
definitely a good mascara, it delivers the promise to add volume and curl, but the formula is not to my liking. it keeps making my lashes clump together. i think it will work better if you have sparse eyelashes. or you already have long eyelashes. but not on me. and i don't test the durability of this mascara. but it doesn't flake on me. would i repurchase? no. would i recommend it? not really. but considering this is my first asian/korean mascara, i think i will try another mascara from other korean brand too. it seems promising.
