Colored mascara isn’t one of those items that I buy often. Or at all. I’ve never walked into the store and said to myself ‘Hey, you know what you need in your life? Some blue mascara!’ But do you know what I’ve been missing out on? Blue mascara!
When the Influenster YSL Mascara Vinyl Couture VoxBox finally arrived I was so excited! I received the shade 5 I’m The Trouble. I don’t get the chance to experiment with something as new and exciting as this too often. And since it’s so new to me and a little out of my comfort zone, I had to sit and plan out a look. I wasn’t sure just how bold it was going to be. So when I first applied it I applied it only to my lower lashes. Take a look!
It wasn’t nearly as bold as I expected it to be. You can definitely see the blue, but it’s not so bold and out there. I felt like I was cheating a bit and playing it too safe so I decided to do another look and applied it on my top lashes. I went with a neutral eye with a little eyeliner so that it wouldn’t take away from the mascara. And well, this is a little more bold. Indoors it’s not so bad, but in natural light you can totally see the blue.
Now let me tell you about this beautiful mascara!
There is a bit of a strong scent, but it didn’t irritate my eyes at all and they’re pretty sensitive. The brush was very easy to work with. It picks up a lot of product. You can see in the closeup above. It’s pretty thick and seems creamy. It applied beautifully! I found that it was more difficult applying to the lower lashes. I had to add a few coats for it to really show. Thankfully it didn’t end up looking clumpy. It showed up much easier on the top lashes. In the photo above I applied two coats. It did ok volume-wise, but this baby really did lengthen my lashes and even held that curl a bit. See the photo below.
This was definitely an interesting experience and it has totally opened me up to trying out different colors. I’ll even continue rocking this blue. But I’ll probably experiment a bit more when I use it on my top lashes.
Oooooo, blue looks good on you. Glad this seems like a winner for sensitive eyes.

Thank you, Chris! :)
This is definitely one of the most intense colored mascaras I’ve ever seen! Typically you can barely notice that they’re not black…. How fun!

Isn’t it? It was definitely fun experimenting with it.
I used to wear blue mascara back in the days. I am a true 80ies kid.

I love it on the bottom lashes! So much fun. I have also seen people wear black at the base of the top lashes and have colored tips. That’s super cute. I will be checking this out for sure! xx :)

That’s my favorite way to wear it! It adds a nice pop of color without being too bold. :)
