I always wanted to try Helena Rubinstein products, especially the ones with the leopard print on it. I was pleasantly surprised with their brown waterproof eyeliner (creamy, yet long lasting), so I gave their mascara a go as well.
I opted for the cute mascara with leopard print in a black shade and with a waterproof formula.
Mascaras aren't earth shakingly interesting to me, so let's keep it short: it applies gently, as in it does not bother the eyes at all, the brush is soft, quite fat but not big enough to bump into my lid. There are no stains anywhere, amazing! The blackness is not ah-mazing, but it's ok. When it comes to separation, it does spread my lashes quite nicely, but I don't have a wow-feeling, even if I focus on the outer lashes for an extra cateye effect.
How waterproof is it? It is what I call the regular day waterproof: it could handle water, sweat, mist, some crying, but not long ass day oils or rubbing and sleeping. Blotting the skin around the eyes or powdering is recommanded after lunch.
Is it easy to remove? Yes, with a bi-phase remover.
Is it worth it? Yes, it is nice to use, if you don't mind blotting during the day to prevent the mascara from staining where skin gets oily.
