I've been on the lookout for a good thickening mascara for a few months now and decided to give Revlon's new Double Twist mascara a try. The price left a little to be desired, checking in at just under $13 before taxes. I was hopeful, though, having seen the ad that displays a new brush technology, combining a thickening brush with a separating comb. My lashes are relatively thin and on the short side and I wanted this mascara to be everything I wanted.

It wasn't.

The mouth of the tube is so wide that the brush ends up with mascara all over the place and the formula itself is absolutely appalling. My lashes were clumpy and hard, even after I'd combed them through with another, dry mascara brush. Within an hour, the mascara began to flake off, ending up under my eyes and in my contacts. Usually, I'll see a mascara through to the end, but I threw this one away after a week. It was definitely not worth spending any money on and it's far from the amazing formula and brush they advertised.
