@Mochapj Beautiful swatches! These look like gems. ✨

[blackkitty2014]

@sarahshter  @Mochapj  @sonnydee  Thanks so much for mentioning the difficulty of removal for the Caution mascara.  I definitely don't need that as my lashes seem to fall out easily with a tough mascara formula.

I have never used a bronzer before but have tried the hourglass bronzer during a Sephora class  (the one for medium/dark skin, bronze light I think?) and really liked it.  It's really pricey so I was thinking of buying the mini.  However the mini is really tiny!  Do you think I can get good use out of the smaller size?  It normally takes a while for me to hit pan on anything let alone actually finish it.

I know this post is oldish but I bought the minis and they last a long time.. imo anyway I mean I use them everyday and still all good 😊 and this way I get to try whatever combos I want

@CurlyAtx@ The regular Hourglass singles take ages to pan even with daily use... I think you'd be fine with a mini for the first time, and if you use it all the way through the fall or winter and pan the whole thing, you'll have really gotten your money's worth and can decide if you want a full size after that.

Although if you like using a giant fluffy brush in a big bronzer pan, you might want the regular one just for more surface area.

I got a deluxe sample of the caution mascara this week and like @sonnydee I wasn’t particularly wowed by it.

on my long, very straight lashes it was extremely natural looking; it barely added any volume at all. I did find it could apply blobs of product, but I wasn’t getting any clumps of lashes from it.

I had an extremely difficult time removing it, though. And I found it flaked into my eyes throughout the day. Overall I was pretty disappointed in this mascara.

[sarahshter]

I agree with you 100% probably going to return it!! it was not worth the price, too much clumping.

@Mochapj So sad to hear it was disappointing! I had high hopes for it and was very close to getting the deluxe sample from Sephora to try it but I'll just get something else. Thanks for sharing!

[sonnydee]

Glad it wasn't just me about hard to remove😲 @Mochapj

My thoughts on the new mascara Caution from a mascara junkie: pros: -it dries down pretty quickly -it makes lashes fuller, more bold -its smudge/flake resistant (can't say proof but I did actually rub my eye just to see & it didn't budge) -it didn't run when my face got wet *quick walk thru a pretty good rain storm* -it did a good job in fl humidity -it didn't burn if it gets in your eye (yup, I did that but it was an accident) -color is BLACK -didnt weigh down my naturally curl in my lashes now the cons.... -it didn't add length, which made me sad😔 -it was clumpy, & you had to take time to make it separate (I got 4 kids..all under age 12, I don't have time for that!) -it dries down fast, but if you get clumps or your lashes twist.. it's impossible to fix unless you remove the mascara -removal is not easy (I had to scrub😫) overall I was pretty impressed with the lasting power but it didn't wow me. I'll use the promo but won't purchase. Hope this helps those interested! Don't be to harsh on the pic, I'm bare faced except for the mascara!🤤 AND NO, I DID NOT GET THIS THRU INFLUENCER

@sonnydee Thank you so much for sharing! I've been wanting to try it but I may just skip it.

[pocketvenus]

@sonnydee, finally a genuine review of this product!!! Thank you for sharing ❤️

[sonnydee]

You are very welcome @pocketvenus

😉

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you so much for posting this @sonnydee. I trust your review more than 100 Influenster reviews on this board. Ugh, this doesn’t sound good. I redeem 1 too but it won’t get here until next week.

[sonnydee]

I hope it works out better for you @blackkitty2014

I know I had to write up a review after seeing all those *this is the best mascara...blah,blah.* influencer reviews. I'm pretty picky but I gave it a good go. 😒

I’m loving the hourglass caution mascara! It adds body, but not much in length if I’m being honest. Great quality for a pop in lashes
