Fairy Drops!

Hello everybody! Today I am doing a non-sponsored review of the hit mascara FAIRY DROPS 'Scandal Queen'! I've been hearing lots of great things about this mascara so I decided to give it a try since it is now available at Sephora! Here is the description of the mascara given by the people at Sephora:


"This do-it-all mascara is blended with fiber to give you lush, doll-like lashes. The unique brush catches even the tiniest lashes, defines, lengthens, and provides all-day curl. 

FAIRYDROPS mascara was created by Japanese TV personality Aya Yasuda. Realizing that the eyes are the secret to making a great impression, she was inspired to create a new mascara wand that is now patented in Japan. The Scandal Queen formula is available exclusively in the U.S."




As you can see from the photo, the brush has a very interesting shape! It's like three little balls all lined up instead of just your usual straight brush. They are also on a curve, so that they can give your eyelashes an extra curl, without using a eyelash curler! Sounds great, right?

This mascara is also free of sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, phthalates, GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), or triclosan. Pretty good! 

Here are some photos for comparison!

So, as much as they say this mascara will curl your lashes without need for an eyelash curler, my lashes did not seem much more curled! In that respect, I was a little disappointed. However, when used WITH an eyelash curler, they do hold the curl very well! The formula is quite nice for people with stiff and pointy eyelashes like mine that cannot hold curl on their own!

It is also somewhat waterproof, but not as waterproof as some other waterproof mascaras I've used. Overall though, it was very nice! Very nice formula, and an interesting brush to use! And the packaging is super cute too! Which was kind of what swayed me over buying Urban Decay's new super waterproof mascara Cannonball, which I want to try next!


I would not recommend this mascara for its CURLING qualities, because it didn't live up to my expectations in that respect, however, as a regular mascara, it does work quite nicely and does the job! It runs at around $24 USD ($28 CDN), so if you are willing to shell out the cash, its definitely worth a try!

Thanks as always for reading, and have a wonderful day :)
