SAFIYAH TASNEEM : Urban Decay Cannonball Mascara

Sunday, 29 May 2011

The new waterproof mascara from Urban Decay is here, rumoured to be replacing the waterproof Big Fatty mascara.

It has a similar brush to the Big Fatty mascara but not as "fat":

I find that like the UD Lash Primer, this mascara has visible fibres in it that thicken the lashes, giving it volume:

Here's my lashes without anything on:

And then with Cannonball mascara:

Either the Lush Lash System I've been using is working or this mascara made my lashes super long but the mascara made them look scarily long and spidery! So I brushed it out with a clean mascara wand et voila:

Much more better! I personally don't like clumpy lashes so always tend to brush my lashes out. The mascara smells quite chemical-ly, but glides on smoothly, if not a bit dry. But I prefer dry mascaras to wet ones to avoid clumpiness again. The good thing about this is the waterproof quality as to date I haven't owned one and I have noticed less smudging towards the end of the day.
Priced at £15 (like the other mascaras), it's not cheap but may be something you're looking for if you need a waterproof mascara! Officially released by 15th June again, keep your eyes peeled for this!

Oooh! My super straight lashes need a good waterproof mascara to hold curl. I'll probably be getting this next time I head to Sephora!
I wonder if it really works in the pool? haha :)

Apparently so! The "boss lady" of UD (Wende) tried it on a trip to Fiji which included "sweaty yoga, stand-up paddle boarding, scuba diving and surfing", so it must work?!

As far as damage to the lens, they are already yellow and damaged. Toothpaste can't damage it any worse than it is. waterproof mascara top coat
