Introducing No7 Exquisite Curl Mascara..
I was recently sent this mascara to try and couldn't wait to get my hands on it because1. No7 products always please me. I have never been disappointed. From skin care to make up, I have never regretted purchasing a No7 product.
2. My lashes are normally pretty much a fail. There lifeless and so when I find a volumising mascara, I seem to stick to it- so trying something new on my lashes is very exciting to me.
What they say
"No7 Exquisite Curl mascara, for curvy lashes with a sexy flutter. Lashes watch out – the latest mascara offering from No7 will coax them to a more beautifully curved and volumised look, with long lasting curl!"

To the eye the Exquisite Curl packaging is sleek and rounded with a purpley-grey and gold shimmery finish. Its a nice sized mascara- its not too chunky and not too long.
The wand glides out of the tube smoothly and presents you with a wand with just enough product. I hate when a wand presents you with an overload of product, leaving you with no option but to scrape the residue off and inevitabley waste it.
The wand is about 41/2 inches which is a comfortable size for application.
The mascara brush itself is curved and quite thin. This is my preferred brush type. I find it difficult to work with comb or really thick brushes on my lashes, and think with a curved smaller brush I can get into my quite small lashes and coat them rather than coating half of my lid/undereye aswell.
As mentioned before, there isn't too much product on the brush. I think inside the tube works really well to remove excess product from the brush which ultimately will leave you with a much cleaner application to your lashes. No clumps, yay!
The product itself is such a nice consistency. Its not too wet and its not too dry.
Though I prefer my mascaras to be more wet than dry-I can't stand the mess that some make. I think that No7 have found the right balance. I put a little bit of product from the end of my brush on my hand and its quite soft and creamy.
The product does have a little bit of a smell. Its not a horid smell, so its not a bad thing at all. I just personally prefer to have a product that doesn't smell at all.
I don't ever really have to buy hypo-allergenic products, I don't suffer from sensitivity but I think that if a product offers that- then thats only ever a plus and this one does.
This mascara applies with such ease, it really does! It almost has an "invisible" feel to it. It glides on and does exactly what it promises to do.
It lengthens, volumises and curls.
Most importantly to me are its lengthening and volumising qualities but its curl is just fantastic. I've applied it a few times now and love that as it creates the perfect curl, it also seperates. Its really quite fantatstic.
My top lashes are noramlly quite literally a fail, the have endured many false lash disasters, there bland, all completely different in length and even some missing. Maybe the perfect palette to base a review on because this mascara has definately worked well for me and have automatically woken up my eyes with a quick couple of coats. I think for extreme volume, this would be achievable with another coat or so.
The mascara is available in Black and Brown from Boots stores and online- Click here.
