Catrice All Round Mascara – Ultra Black
People like me who wear specs do not enjoy mascara’s as much as lucky ones without specs do, but still they are must have in makeup stash. This is my first product from Catrice and an online purchase; let’s find out if it impressed me.
Product Description from website:
The allrounder amongst our mascaras is now also available in Ultra Black with a deep-black carbon formula to ensure intense colour. The allround brush allows a simple and accurate application of colour for an expressive triple effect: more volume, more length and more curl.
The packaging says:
Mascara with Volume, Length and Curl – with carbon black. The ultra black texture coats and strengthens every single lash. Opthalmologically tested.
Price:
$6 for 11 ml (Made in Italy)
Packaging: The mascara comes in a chubby tube, purple in color and looks appealing. The three variants available in Catrice All Round Mascara are blackest black, waterproof and ultra black.
My take on Catrice All Round Mascara – Ultra Black:
This was purchased online and when I used it first time, it clumped my lashes; so I had a very bad impression and I never touched it for weeks. Then one day, I sorted out by swatching the brush on fingers that they have sold me a dry piece!!! I added 5-drops of rose water and now it works superb. So I will conclude that the actual consistency of mascara was neither thick nor runny, it is jet black and doesn’t clumps my lashes at all. The manufacturer should have mentioned the manufacturing date and shelf life.
Coming to the performance, this is quite an all-rounder. The wand and the brush has dense bristles and they reach out every lash individually, in both upper and lower lashes. Application in corners is workable as well. Applying two-three coats add excellent volume to the lashes’ making every single lash look thick. The mascara adds length to the lashes and curl too. But curl isn’t as impressive as volume and length effects provided by this mascara. It leaves few flakes in lashes so I have to be careful and precise in application. To avoid this, I keep rotating the wand during application. It is not waterproof but doesn’t come off with water or face wash until I rub hard; a make-up remover or oil is needed to remove it completely. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes. Doesn’t makes lashes stiff. But starts flaking after say three hours of application.
Pros of Catrice All Round Mascara – Ultra Black:
• Jet black mascara.
• Easily workable consistency, not too thick or runny.
• Don’t clump lashes.
• 2-3 coats give perfect volume and length.
• Doesn’t makes lashes stiff.
• Doesn’t irritate sensitive eyes.
• Price tag is affordable.
• Pretty and sturdy packaging.
Cons of Catrice All Round Mascara – Ultra Black:
• Leaves flakes sometimes during application.
• Starts flaking after three hours.
IMBB Rating:
4.3/5
Final Verdict:
I think this is very nice mascara for beginners and for casual use. Since I use mascara for occasions, I am going to invest in some other one after this but I surely give a yes for this one.

Mily, Sumera and all IMBB friends, I have never tried mascara before but wanna give them a try. I wear contact lenses sometimes and I’m confused whether to use the mascara first and then wear the lens or vice versa. I’m very scared that the the mascara would damage my lenses. *waaa* *scared* Would be thankful for the help.
hi mahashweta..even i used to wear lenses till few months back…first wear the lenses and then apply mascara…masacara doesnt damage the lenses *puchhi*
@ mahasweta I wear contact lenses for the past 15 years and use eye makeup very often…make sure you have your lenses on before you put any make up and throw away your mascara within 3-4 months of opening it because it breeds a lot of bacteria ( I have religiously followed these and never had any issues) hope this helps *oye balle* *jalwa*
*thankyou* Parmita and Mily! *puchhi* *puchhi*

wear lenses before putting on any make-up, even before applying moisturizer, wash face, don’t towel dry hands, just let them be wet and wear lenses, then do anything you want to with make-up sweety *hifive*
