My Experience with Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Va Va Voom Volume Mascara:
Packaging/Brush: The first thing that you notice about this mascara is the packaging – it comes in a bold red colored tube with black velvet lace and a tiny stiletto charm. Quite sexy, I must say 😛
The brush size is fine. But, I do not like the rubbery bristles so much. Also, it is somewhat difficult to get to the base of the lashes with this brush. But overall, it does manage to coat the lashes evenly.
Formula/Performance: I found the formula to be quite mediocre. While it is smooth to apply and does not clump on the lashes, I felt that it did not really give me the voluptuous volume, luscious length or gorgeous curves that it promises. It did highlight the lashes and brightened up the face; but none of the “Va Va Voom” effect.
The good part is that my lashes did not get crunchy or hard. The mascara stays put for the whole day with no smudging or flaking. It is easy to remove with a makeup remover. This mascara has a very noticeable vanilla fragrance. I personally do not mind it but some of you might.
Pros of Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Va Va Voom Volume Mascara:

- Attractive packaging.
- Easy to remove.

Would I Repurchase/Recommend Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Va Va Voom Volume Mascara?
I would not recommend as the mascara does not add all the drama that it promises to add. I will not repurchase as I am not overtly impressed.

Packaging is so adorable 🙂 :O
Name is really interesting and packaging compliments it. But, I have seen and used much better mascaras. Was expecting better.
