AD - GIFTED | January 2019 saw the launch of the reformulated Poppy Sloane Tres Chic mascara*, I was kindly gifted a tube to try out, and me being a huge mascara lover needed it in my makeup bag. After months of reformulation and development Poppy Sloane announced the mascara is now volumizing as well as completely vegan, but retains all of the amazing qualities of the original – smudge proof, waterproof and ultra long-lasting. I've tried plenty of mascaras in the past from more drugstore brands like Rimmel and more high-end brands like Benefit, Poppy Sloane falls somewhere in between so here's an insight into my first impressions of Tres Chic.
Formula: curling, natural look, volumizing, lengthening
Features: waterproof, smudge proof, smear proof, flake proof
Sensitivity: hypoallergenic
Other features: cruelty free, vegan, not tested on animals
Recommended use: everyday, swimming, gym, rain, holidays, weddings
The photographs below are some before, during and after shots of my eyes.
So here are my natural lashes. As you can see, they are quite straight and have no wispy corners to help flutter the lashes out. Also, my lashes are quite light in colour at the root, leading into a darkish brown.
This photograph is of my eyelashes which have been curled. I like to use my Primark Eyelash Curler for this, and it is definitely one of my makeup bag essentials. As you can see, using curlers gives a lot of lift to the lashes as well as building definition to the eyes. The lashes appear more fanned out, helping to create a more fluttery appearance.
This photograph shows my left eye that I have applied the Poppy Sloane mascara to, compared with just my natural, curled lash. The mascara helped add colour and length to my lashes, as well as separation, whilst defining my eyes.
Here I've applied a coat of the Tres Chic mascara to both eyes, and you can see a huge difference from the previous images. My eyes look wider and more awake.
The mascara added tonnes of length without clumping together. There's no smudging and no fallout underneath my lashes. The mascara worked amazingly on my lower lash line to help lengthen the lashes. You apply Poppy Sloane mascaras just like a regular mascara. It takes about 2 minutes to set fully and begin forming the tiny ‘tubes’ around your lashes. Until fully set it may smudge, but once fully set it is 100% smudge proof and waterproof. Overall, I was super impressed with the Poppy Sloane Tres Chic Mascara*. I like my mascara to be super black, lengthening, volumizing and defining. It definitely ticked all the boxes for me.
Tres Chic is available here.
