I've rarely been disappointed by Hourglass Cosmetics. They can be pricey, but I normally find myself happy that I've spent the money I have. Recently I purchased their "Best of Hourglass" set, four products for $59.00 from Sephora. One of the reasons I did so was because I was anxious to try Hourglass mascara. From their totally flattering "Ambient Lighting" powders to their primers, lip gloss...read more, eye shadows, and cheek stain, I have been more than satisfied. The packaging lived up to my expectations--a long, sleek tube with a simple yet sophisticated "Hourglass" in gold in the smoky dark color. The brush is long but not particularly useful; it is a mediocre brush. The claims for this mascara are that "luxurious lashes are merely a swipe away. This multitasking mascara lengthens, lifts, adds volume and clump-free definition, and conditions. The triple-cut signature Hourglass shaped brush enables you to achieve full, defined, reflective, jet-black lashes." I did note that the color, "Onyx," stood out on my lashes. Otherwise, when it comes to volume and length, this was mediocre at best. Lashes did not hold the curl I spent a long time imparting with my new Shu Uemura eyelash curler. I'm surprised at Hourglass; I hope they reformulate this mascara and that it becomes a superior product like so many others.
