Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme - Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara // Review

Estée Lauder is a brand that always entices me with its beautiful packaging. The sumptuous extreme mascara is no exception. The packaging of this mascara feels luxurious with its sleek gold tube and navy blue writing, certainly living up to the high-end makeup expectations that one can expect from Estée Lauder.

The brush itself is on the large side, which usually results in difficult application, however this brush has been tapered to allow for precise movement in tricky areas such as the inside corner of the eye.

Estée Lauder claim that this mascara creates 'outrageous volume, lift and curves for an audacious, false-lash effect.' The formulation of the mascara in extreme black is a great inky black, and certainly creates volume, however I did find it to clump the lashes on the second coat. Having said this, the mascara lasted all day with no flaking or smudging and was easily removed with a regular makeup remover.

  

Although I do like this masacra, I think that it is over-priced and that I could achieve similar results with cheaper alternatives, but if you are after a luxurious volumising mascara then this could be the one for you. The sumptuous extreme mascara is available in four colours; extreme black, extreme brown, extreme cobalt and extreme emerald. It costs £22.00 and is available from Estée Lauder stands and Boots stores as well as online.
