Baby Doll Mascara Reviews

I have recently become a fan of YSL products and couldn't wait to try more of their products. Mascara is a must have makeup for me to use everyday and only want to wear the best! I have found a mascara that I love but I wanted to try YSL's mascara. I have asian lashes so they are naturally short and non-curly. the elements I look for in a mascara is for it lengthen and volumise. Whilst this product did do those, I found that it clumped after trying to put on more layers. For a $52 mascara, I would've expected more. Safe to say, I will be returning to my other mascara.

For a price tag of $52 I would have expected much more. If you are after length and volume then its definitely not for you. All it does it adds bit of length and separates the lashes , but that's it. No volume whatsoever. Most drugstore mascaras can do the same infact are even better. On the other hand, the packaging is beautiful, very luxury looking. It also has a sweet candy, fruity aroma. It also lasts very long and does not flake or smudge whatsoever, as its quite a dry formula. I was however pleased with the mascara wand itself, as it has small bristles making it very easy to access short thin lashes, without clumping them all together.

But overall, I was not pleased with the product, will not be re-purchasing it.

I personally believe that drugstore mascaras are better than high-end products but the YSL Baby Doll Mascara is one of my faves. It gives my lashes so much colour and volume. It lasts so long and the formula is amazing. It doesn't smudge and has a lovely intense rich black colour pay off. It is so worth the splurge.

I am a fan of the formula of this mascara in that it has withstood 16 hour workdays + a gym session with nary a flake. My biggest concern with mascara (after the volume, curl and length of my lashes) is the staying power. I buy mascara so as to look more wide awake so for the product to flake and make the skin under my eyes look tired and worn is unforgivable (from mascaras that cost $8 to $80!). This mascara is wonderful in that it does not fail me in its application and is perfect for work as well as big nights out. An added plus the feeling of luxury the gold packaging - seeing this beauty poke out of the other products in my make up bag is always an added plus in the morning!

Yes this is an expensive mascara but its something I use every day and I love big, fluttery lashes so its worth it to me. The gold packaging is so luxe, whenever I use it I feel like I am pampering myself. The scent is the same as other YSL mascaras from what I remember, sweet and fruity. I don't mind it but others may not like it. More importantly the performance is superb. It gives me thick, coal black lashes with good volume and separation and no clumping. Unlike other volumising mascaras it also gves my lashes plenty of length and is easily buildable without gluing my lashes together. The wand is long and skinnier than normal volumising mascaras which makes it easy to apply to even the tiniest lash, and it goes on super smooth and very rich and dark. It doesn't dry out as fast as faux cils and I think overall the length and volume are better with babydoll. Definitely gives me a boost whenever I use it.

Okay can we take a moment to celebrate the amazing and sleek packaging?
YSL really lures me into their products through their amazing packaging.
Not only is it beautiful outside and the product itself is pretty incredible.
I have asian lashes... which means short and straight lashes.
This actually gives me the length I want and does volumise.
It last on the lashes for a pretty long amount of time and I love it.
However the downside to this is that I find the mascara dries out really quickly and it can tend to get a little clumpy if not put on properly or it is overdone.
And not to mention its $52! Crazy how expensive cosmetics is in australia.
So overall the packaging and formular really sold me.
However despite my love for it I don't think I would repurchase it because it dries out so quick and its so expensive. And in my opinion, the loreal telescopic mascara (which focus on lenghtening) does one heck of the job and as been my HG mascara :)

This is my very first high end mascara which I haven't been thinking about for a very long time. This was recommended by an Australian you-tuber and she explained how it 'dolls' up your eyes. When I've finally decided to make a investment for this I realize the packaging is so pretty! It is much more flattering that if you see it in a video or online. It is encompassed in a gold canister that creates a classy look scribbled in pink words. This design is so smart - classy and girly at the same time - and that's what grabs every girl's attention. When I put on my first coat, it really did what the you tuber described - it magnifies your eyes and gives you a doll like look. This is suitable for outing or date but I have to say, it's not recommended for everyday use - not very natural. It looks too much for work or uni. But I'm telling you that it all glam to your eyes - no false lashes needed. I would definitely repurchase this despite the price.
