[REVIEW] SAN SAN Waterproof Thick Lash Mascara

Hey there beauties. Another review! Yay! So here's a review on a mascara locally available in the Philippines. This is the San San Waterproof Thick Lash Mascara with Vitamin A, C and E.


Woot woot! So this costs more than a hundred pesos I think, I don't clearly remember. I have the worst memory in terms of prices. But I believe this is cheaper than some of the local mascaras available.

Together with this line, they also came out with "Long Lash". They only differ on the packaging (the long lash was in blue packaging) and the wand but pretty much, they look the same to me.

PACKAGING
It came in a silver and black packaging and as I remember, it came in a blue box when I bought this. I'm not really sure if there are other color aside from black which I got, but I'll update you on that soon. Nothing special on the packaging really.


I really like the wand though. It was originally straight but I bended it to make it easier to apply. Personal preference. It is a silicon brush by the way.





The stopper on the packaging helps you get the appropriate amount to avoid getting more product than you actually need which is a good thing.. at least for me. Getting more products makes my lashes clumpy and ugly and I do not want that.



APPLICATION
I love the formula of this mascara. It's not too liquidy but not too heavy too,

(Sorry for the puffy eyes and dark circles)

(Bare lashes)

(Sorry for my untrimmed and ungroomed brows)

As you can see, I naturally have long lashes (genes baby), well, at least that's how I see it.

This mascara gives off natural looking mascara. It is not spidery and it doesn't clamp my eyelashes at all. It makes my lashes fuller and gives more volume. I like wearing my mascara as thin as possible so basically, you can apply more coats of mascara to achieve more intense look.



I don't usually curl my lashes, but with this mascara, it manages to curl it alone. I don't know if this works for others though but I like it that it gives me those curls.





PERFORMANCE
Honestly speaking, I really love this mascara. Yep, it has that awkward smell which may be bothering to some but at least for me it's not as bothering. Those who are super sensitive to smell should sniff the testers on store before buying it. I always use this at school and my classmates would complement me on how this baby makes my lashes so beautiful.

I don't know how it works on the "waterproof" part, but I remember that I cried once with this on and rubbed my eyes but it didn't smudge on me. I think it did a smudge a little bit on the outer corner of my eyes. Other than that, I really like it.It stays on for hours. It is easy to remove with my PureDerm Skin Solutions Make Up Remover.

I recommend this. :)



What are your thoughts on this mascara? Are we on the same boat? Do you love it? Do you have any suggestions? Post it on the comment box,

I hope this helped you on deciding on getting this mascara or not.

Note: Have you noticed that all pictures are taken on my left eye? Well, another review is coming up later tonight or tomorrow. :)

[REVIEW] SAN SAN Waterproof Mascara

Hey readers! It's been so long since I posted a review here in my blog. Today, since I'm not busy with school, I'm going to do one. So, today's product's gonna be San San Waterproof Mascara with Vitamins A, C, E.



So, I got mine in black. I originally wanted the clear one but I didn't know what got me to get the black one instead. I seriously don't have any idea.



The packaging is in blue metallic color. It's actually pretty light and thin and the shade or color is just printed in a black sticker paper at the bottom of the bottle.

If you're looking for a great mascara for starters like me, then I could recommend this for you. There are better drugstore brand mascaras out there but this one does its's job too. It smells powdery and I don't know if that's a good thing for everybody but I'm not actually bothered by it.

The formula isn't heavy. Actually, it feels light and it didn't dry out on me yet! Can you believe it? I bought this on a sale I think last January but it still of the same quality. I know they say that you should change your mascara after 3 months but.. pfft! I don't use it everyday anyway.

The wand is curved with bristles on it. I absolutely love the wand because it made it easier for me to apply. I have the Ever Bilena with silicone brush and I would always find myself poking my eyes. Seriously!


As long as it dries on your lashes, it would stay long. I never experienced any smudges like other mascaras that I have tried. It claims to be waterproof. I'm not actually sure. But what I'm sure of is that when you're just using to wipe it off, then, you'll be having a hard time. It does smudge though when you try to remove it with water. So I don't think that makes it waterproof but maybe a water resistant.

My experience: My lashes are naturally long (my elder sister's lashes are longer though) so I just apply a thin coat on it. It doesn't feel so heavy and I don't think it makes my lashes "spidery".

This is how it looks like when I open my eyes.

 You see, my lashes are already long enough and the mascara
just intensified it.
(Sorry for my untrimmed brows)




Personally, I liked it very much. I actually use this few times at school too. I don't need much volume and length because I don't really need it.

I actually forgot how much it costs but I believe it's more or less Php100. I'm not exactly sure on the price.


So that's it for this blog post. If you have any suggestions on what I should review next, you could tell me on the comment section and I'll try to find it (if I don't have that item in my hand yet) and do a review as soon as I can.
