Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara

 I wanted to do more posts last week but the week just wasn't going my way. Three day weekend but I didn't feel like I got the rest I needed so the rest of the week just turned out even more stressful. I think this week will be better though.

Estee Lauder claims:

Lashes seem to multiply, magnify, grow to extremes. Sumptuous Extreme creates outrageous volume, lift and curves for an audacious, false-lash effect. Eyes look brighter, wider, more seductive. Extreme Bold Volume™ formula is a blend of three high-volume fibers in a mousse-light base. The formula acts almost like lash extensions, multiplying and growing the look of lashes. Fortified with conditioning Lash-Advancing Vitamin Complex. The BrushComber Extreme™ has two types of bristles: flexible fibers to carry maximum formula; solid fibers to comb and separate for separated definition.

I think it's made in the USA- doesn't say though.

I think this is the first thing I've ever reviewed from Estee Lauder. Which is a giant of a brand and owns so many other brands. I don't really know much about Estee Lauder. I should probably google them. I haven't really been drawn to the brand. It just seems liked a brand aimed at older women. I do know they have a reputation for buying up and ruining brands......(MAC)

I basically bought this because I was trying to treat myself...and I like to splurge on mascara every now and again. Usually I buy Lancome because it's easy to get my hands on. 

The packaging is nice, as you would expect it to be for a $30.00 mascara. You get a nice gold tube, comes in a nice box.

It's also the old school brush. Which I like much better than the newer plastic type bristles. And  a huge brush. One of the largest, I like a large brush though. I always think it will give me the longest, most voluminous lashes. 

It's a decently black mascara. And does build both length and volume very quickly. It also seems to stay looking the same through the day unless it's a crazy humid, hot day. Then I do notice a difference at the end of the day. But that's also with most mascaras unless you go with waterproof. It's mostly still in tact, just lost a bit of pizzazz.

Excuse the bad eye pic-I'm just too lazy to fiddle with the camera anymore today...

Overall, I think it's a nice mascara. I don't have any major complaints and while I do like it, I wasn't wowed by it enough to purchase again. I did get mine a bit cheaper on sale at $25 though, which is nice. But still too expensive.
