L'Oreal Curl Impact Collagene Mascara Review//全新 L'Oreal 震撼捲曲豐盈睫毛液試用

When I knew L'Oreal is releasing a new mascara, I was extremely delighted and thought "This is just in time!" since the mascara I'm now using smudges badly (more on that later in a separate review)! I was invited to a blogger party where the new Curl Impact Collagene Mascara was introduced, here's my attempt at creating an artistic photo of the mascara using my bracelet, the gold mascara tube goes very well with the vintage-style bracelet with ruffles eh?

知道L'Oreal推出新既睫毛膏, 我超興奮, 因為係時候要換支新架喇. 呢排用開果支睫毛膏暈染得好緊要 (另開post再講) 感謝HKCOSME & L'Oreal Paris, 我有幸獲邀參加Blogger Party, 介紹新既Curl Impact Collagene Mascara. 今次呢支mascara全新包裝, 黑色+金色既配搭第一時間令我諗起我最近買既呢條手鍊:

Some quick photos from the party: I gotta say I love the gold and white balloons, it matches with the color tones of the mascara.

Party以金色和銀白色既氣球做theme, 同支mascara好夾:

Here's my take on the mascara :)

回家試用 :)
The formula is easily removable using warm water and is smudge-proof. Have you experienced a hard time removing mascara using eye makeup remover? I have never tried mascaras that can be removed by warm water and I'm definitely curious to try this out.

盒上說明話呢支mascara既配方可以用溫水清洗, 唔會暈染, 唔洗驚有熊貓眼. 大家一定用過D好難落既 mascara 喇?!

It is said to volumize your lashes and holds your curls, containing Amplified Collagene elements to protect your lashes.

支mascara有捲曲(curl)同豐盈(volumize)睫毛既效果, 仲有骨膠原精華, 幫你保護經常受損既睫毛.
The brush has a special design, "Spiral Curler Brush" with 2 different sides, each side is designed to volumize and curl respectively, the brush is especially designed for Asian eye shapes. ("OMG did someone say especially designed for Asians?!")

個睫毛掃係為亞洲女性既眼部專設既, 個掃兩邊有唔同型狀既設計, 比較扁平既一邊用黎令睫毛濃密, 另一邊用黎保持睫毛捲曲.
Close-up of the brush bristles: one side is actually flatter than the other.
近鏡: 一邊係比較彎, 另一邊係平少少的.
Before-and-after application:
使用前-使用後既比較:
I'm liking how it adds definition to my eyes and makes them look bigger. My eyelashes are pretty non-existent before application =.= They look instantly awake after applying.
I also swatched a few lipsticks from the L'Oreal Color Riche line, my initial thought is, these aren't lipsticks, they have such a glossy finish to it and aren't drying on the lips at all!

用左之後, 分別好明顯, 對眼望落精神好多 :D

Swatches of the eyeshadow palette:

Close-up at the powder foundation, it's actually a two-way cake that can be used dry or wet. It comes with a small area for highlighting. I've never seen this before, it adds such a nice and thoughtful touch to it.

乾濕二用粉餅, 內置highlighter, 好細心既設計呢.
My thoughts on the mascara:
First, this mascara doesn't smudge, which is a HUGE PLUS. After 8 hours of wearing, I don't see any flaking-off or smudging under eye, that's pretty impressive to begin with. The price of this mascara is moderately priced and you got 11ml in it, plus you get a formula with collagen to protect your lashes. The brush bristles deserves a mention too, when applying the mascara in zig-zag manner, it doesn't clump. As you can probably see from the before-and-after photos, my lashes were virtually non-existent before application, this mascara however adds definition to my eyes and make them look instantly awake. It holds my curls and I removed this mascara with warm water and it's so quick and easy. I have tried a few mascaras before this and some of my lashes would come off when I use a cotton pad to remove the mascara.

使用後感:
用左8小時都無暈染, 又無甩黑色既一點點落面, 同埋佢保持到D睫毛捲曲. 價錢唔貴, 搽完又唔會令睫毛打 'cake', 配方仲有骨膠原精華保護到睫毛. 使用前同使用後分別好大, 令眼部好突出,落妝用溫水就得. 唔會好似有D mascara咁落妝時會整甩D睫毛.
