Exquisite Curl mascara by Boots No 7

I was very kindly sent the new Exquisite Curl mascara by Boots No 7 to try out and review I don't really talk about make up much on the blog but that doesn't mean I'm not a fan! My top 3 essentials are eyeliner, mascara and lippie so I was more than happy to try a product that would give my lashes a bit of oomph! The website states that the mascara is for curvy lashes with a sexy flutter and since my usual curl enhancing mascara by Benefit is no longer available I was excited to see if this would be an adequate replacement.

First of all, the cost of the mascara is £10 and considering I spend £15 plus at Benefit I was more than pleased. The mascara arrived beautifully wrapped and is lightweight and sleek looking. I'm normally a fan of pretty packaging which is why I've often strayed away from the No 7 collection but this sleek purple case is still pretty and chic looking. The mascara has a curved brush which I like for application because I think you can add the product more evenly across your lashes plus it helps given them that perfect curve.

In terms of the actual product I liked it a lot, it gave my lashes a much need curl without any clumping together, flakiness or smudging. The mascara stayed on all night when I wore it on my Dad's 60th and was easy enough to remove at the end of the evening. My only concern was the thickness of the product but that's more of a personal thing. I like my mascara to be thick and voluminous whilst still giving curl and shape. The exquisite curl mascara could do with being a little thicker but apart from that it's perfect.

I'm definitely tempted to try out more No 7 products now but maybe not enter their best wink competition on Facebook. Having pictures taken so close of my face was probably my least favourite part of this review but the mascara was definitely worth is which is why I give it a 4 of out 5.
