Review: Collection Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara
Saturday, 9 June 2012, Saturday, June 09, 2012 |

Tsk tsk, not happy Collection (formerly known as Collection 2000, it's still a habit for me to write that instead). Before I went to the UK I made a point to look on the Boots website constantly for products I could explore that weren't available here, I still feel like I haven't tried even half of them. But one of the brands I'd heard about was Collection, I looked up on blogs about their best recommended products (some I do really like) and one of the ones that came up was the Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara (sounds appealing, right?)


(You can tell I like to take the photos at the last minute, in my bed before I start typing my article!)

I always am searching for the biggest best false lash effect mascara possible, right now I think I've found it, but definitely not in this product. 


First of all the wand is absolutely MASSIVE, it's longer than the length of my eye, and I've got big eyes! clearly this could be an issue considering you could get mascara on the edges of your eyes which is just a bother more than anything, and makes it messy. Secondly I found the formula very thin, for such a big brush you'd assume you'd have loads of product on your lashes straight up, but alas! I was wrong. According to Collection Big Fake False Lash Effect has "a unique 3D lash boosting tube technology that wraps around each lash for a 'lash extension' effect", I've never really used any tubing mascaras before so this would be my first, not a positive experience. Big Fake False Lash Effect didn't enhance the volume or thickness of my lashes, it basically went over the length I already have (since my lashes are very full and long, I won a portion of the genetic eyelash lottery) without giving me a real superstar look. I was more puzzled than anything considering such a large wand, and it applies such little product, disappointing for me! 

Collection Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara retails for Boots and other UK outlets at £4.99, but I don't recommend it.
