It has been a few months since I purchased the Clinique High Impact Mascara (which I really enjoyed), but still had the Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara lingering in the back of my mind. You may remember from my Clinique review, that I was originally in the market for the Estée Lauder mascara, but it was out of stock. Note that I had never really tried Estée Lauder makeup before, but this particular mascara had some of the highest reviews on the ULTA website; which is what piqued my interest.

This mascara is said to provide a bold, seductive look using a fiber-blend in a mouse-like base. I usually don't care for mascaras with added fibers because they tend to look clumpy, so we'll see how it works out.

The applicator brush is pretty long.

Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara's applicator brush is longer than most mascaras I have tried; coming in at about 1.25in (3.5cm). I'm not sure what the benefit is of having a longer brush because I feel that it might be harder to control, but this is just speculation. Some reviews say that they like having a long applicator brush because it gets all the lashes, but I don't see how because it's not curved. It does seem to hold a lot of product though; so if the formula is good it should apply apply a nice and even.

I also like that the packaging feels like it has some weight to it - very luxurious. I believe the body and cap may be made of metal or at least it feels that way.

BEFORE AND AFTER

I don't apply mascara to the lower lashes.

There wasn't much of a learning curve applying this mascara with the long applicator. It came on thick and smooth, and I was even able to go in and apply another coat without it clumping. I was pretty impressed. It also didn't cause any irritation or make me teary eyed at all. Please note that I do not apply mascara to my lower lashes because I tend to rub my eyes due to extended computer use (and I also prefer the look).

I really did put this mascara through the ringer though. It was a very VERY hot and humid day when I tested it. The heat index was about 112°F (44.4°C) with 70% humidity, and I was out alllll day (with ample sunscreen). The day was horrid; so if the Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara can make it through that, then it should make it through most climates I presume. Even through all of this abuse, I'm happy to day it didn't flake or run at all throughout this brutally hot day.

The mascara also came off easily with oil cleanser and didn't leave me looking raccoon-eyed upon exiting the shower. I really hate when mascara does that lol.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I think I would repurchase the Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara if it was on sale, but personally prefer the Clinique High Impact Mascara due to it's hydrating Hyaluronic Acid content. I'm at the age where my skin and hair just needs a little more love. With that said, this positive experience does open the door to trying other Estée Lauder products.

STORE	PRICE	OFFERS

Another thing to consider is that there are other very good mascaras out there at lower price points; I do enjoy Clinique High Impact Mascara at $21.00 a pop, but there is also Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash where you get slightly more product for just a few dollars less ($27.00).

This blog was started to help other fellow NC37s on their quest to finding the perfect BB cushion. Being a big fan of K-Beauty, it is very difficult to find cushions darker than shade 23. It can be quite the gamble ordering makeup from overseas without an inkling of what that may look like, or even if it is beneficial for certain skin types. I am willing to buy these products, swatch, and test them in order to help others make an informed decision.
