Hey all! Any eye makeup is incomplete without the final touch of mascara. It gives that instant “complete” look to the eye, doesn't it? I know a lot of women who like keeping stock of at least two or three kinds of mascara meant for giving different effects- from adding drama to the lashes to just lifting the eyes up for a naturally fresh look every day. As much as I dislike hoarding, I cannot deny that it is rational to keep at least two varieties of mascara in one’s vanity- one for parties (which gives luxuriant volume and length) and another for daily use (which separates lashes, adds some intensity to the lashes and lifts the eyes). But somehow, I have always had just one mascara in my kitty :-/ No, I don’t know why. I generally buy a new one only when the former one is over or dried up! So, when my favorite daily wear mascara (Maybelline Hypercurl) got over, I decided to get something new. I scourged Jabong and finally decided on MUA Lash Boom mascara in Ultra Black shade. Read on to see how it fared.

Price: Rs.700 Approx for 7 ml (I got it on a discount price of Rs.400, and had bought it ONLY because it was on discount. LOL!) ;)

Packaging: This is one thing I love about the Mascara. The chubby bright purple tube is too cute to ignore and it was easier to spot in the makeup vanity.
My take: The first thing which I would love to state about this mascara is the brush. The unique bulb-ended brush is by far the MOST convenient mascara brushes I have used so far.

You can use the round part vertically to cover the tiniest lash and then the straight end normally to brush it out evenly. No issue of excess mascara on skin! Yay! The texture of the mascara is not something I am fond of. It’s too dry for my liking, although it causes no problem in application. The color is INTENSE black (Just like I want it to be).

It is water resistant, but not water proof. It won’t come off if you splash your face lightly with water, but would come off easily if you rub your eyes with wet fingers. Now, coming to volumizing and lengthening claims: NO volume, NO length, story ends! The lashes would look a bit longer only because there is mascara coat over them, but then, any mascara would give that much length. Volume? Zero! On my sparse lashes at least, I could see no improvement. Maybelline Hypercurl gave volume, curl and length much better. You will get to know once you see the swatches below. But yes, I do like how it gives a natural look to the eyes. No clumping, no spidery lashes. Although, it is insane to expect only that for this price (Can’t help it, Maybelline has raised my expectations). Only positive point? I would never ever throw away this wonderful brush! ;)

Pigmentation: 9/10
Texture: 7.5/10
Staying power: 5-6 hours maximum
Overall: 6/10
Recommendation: No. I do not recommend this at all. Buy it ONLY if you wish to try on an “ultra-natural looking” mascara.
Hope I could save you! ;)
With Love,
