Hello pretty girlies!
So, in my last post i told you about Nivea's new mascara, the volume nanodefinition, that i recently got as a freebie with nivea's make up wipes. When i first saw it, i thought "sure, another mascara that is probably not good enough and is being advertised so people get to check it out".Wrong.
What they say :
(sorry if translation is a bit off i just couldn't find the make up section in either the american, english nor canadian site and i was too lazy to translate directly by myself ;P)
Nivea's new mascara, the Volume Nanodefinition offers 300% more volume, while covering and seperating the lashes perfectly until the last! The secret lies in its unique brush, achievement of nanotechnology: the extremely fine fibers are formed in a cross shape to provide full coverage from root to tip even the smallest lashes, and volume due to the composition of the mascara.
At the same time, each lash is "provided" with natural wax for enhanced strength, durability and lasting effect. So, the Volume Nanodefinition puts an end to smudges and glued eyelashes. "
What i say:
When i first tried it i though it was a pretty good everyday mascara, didn't smudge or clump much and was relatively volumizing and lasted well. Now, after using it a few times my verdict is that at 13E this is a pretty good mascara. It's certainly not the best but certainly not the worst. To make a better statement it's a mediocre mascara that can be effective for an everyday look, not too wet or too dry, not too clumpy, not too smudgey.
Nivea's claim of volumizing the lashes up to 300% is blatantly false as there are other high street mascaras that do a much better job. The only thing that i noticed is that it slightly volumises my lashes while it doesn't lengthen them whatsoever.
Now on to the pictures :
So you can pretty much see the effect it gives, it gets a bit clumpy on the second coat but i'd say that's just me and my lazyness as well as the fact that i was a bit clumsy at the time.
Overall, i'd say it's a nice 12E mascara that i enjoy using during the day, but i would opt for something more dramatic and effective during the night. It's not bad, it's just not A-MAZING and does no wonders. I would unlikely repurchase this once i throw it away for the pure fact that there are other highstreet mascaras out there in the same price range that do a better job.(BUT. and i just couldn't NOT say this, it is by no means NEAR mac mascaras which i would not repurchase even if it was the only brand being sold globally :hint to mac)
RATING:
B-
