Nouveau Noir Mascara – £14.99
I received the Nouveau mascara as part of the December GlossyBox and I have been using it for about a month now to see how it works!
Nouveau Lashes are a lash extension company who provide eyelash extension services as well as selling false lashes; they have recently branched out into the cosmetic line, starting first with a line of mascaras. The first being ‘…Noir’.
It claims to be a waterproof, fast-drying formula which can last all day.
I can definitely vouch for the quick-drying of the formula! I find that mascaras with bristles dry faster than the comb variety, although i’m not sure why that is. However with this mascara, I find that it dries a bit too quickly- too quick to even apply a second coat by which time my lashes are too stiff to drag the wand though.
The mascara does not have a scent, which i appreciate as i’m not fond of scented mascaras! My (naturally short and stubby) lashes do not flake and rub off and I do find that I can apply it all day.
The wand head is extremely slender and small as to pick up every lash for maximum length.
I will say however, that it does not really give me the volume I need. It provides length which is fine however because I do not wear false lashes, I always love my mascaras to have a thickening quality to them.
I will say, this is the perfect mascara to wear in the day for work or as a bit of an eye-opener if you don’t want people to know you’re knackered, LOL!

Question time:
1) Have you tried Nouveau Lashes? If so, what did you think?
2) What are your favourite volume & length mascaras?
Your lashes don't look short and stubbly to me in these shots! I think this is HG material for you lady! xx
lmao cheers! They really are short you know! *sigh*
Looking good…but Anything over 5pounds is too pricey for me for a mascara. My lashes aren't much to write home about and I'm not too fussed. If I want long lashes, I'll buy falsies! oops! lol
Your lashes look good with them though!
I'm such a mascara addict, my favourite is the Max factor False Lash Effect Fusion Mascara, really want to try the Covergirl mascaras….and you wouldn't believe it but the ELF Mineral Infused Mascara is amazing, I think I like it even more than the Max Factor…if only they would just frikkin stock up on that mascara, it's been out of stock for like a month…x
Your lashes are long!!! Im jealous!
lmao! I definately feel where you are coming from, I always get lash glue stuck in my eye so i try to stay away from it lol!
@Promise, I've always heard great things about Max Factor, i think i'm definately going to try it one of these days!
@Stef, it's all an illuuuuuuuuusion lmao! But thank you!
