NYC Showtime Waterproof Mascara Review

When I was going away to Florida, I didnt take a lot of make up products with me. In fact scratch that - this was I think the only item I took with me. I usually just go o-naturel when I am on holiday so I didnt bother taking a lot of make up with me. I usually tan quite quickly so I didnt think it would be a problem. I did however want to take a mascara with me just to give my eyes a bit of definition. I didnt want to spent a lot on one but I knew I wanted it to be waterproof.

Excuse the typical hotel sheets and the terrible photo!

I had heard great things about the NYC Showtime mascara but I had never tried it. When I spotted the waterproof version in Superdrugs at just £1.99 it instantly ended up in my basket! I was excited to try it but decided to leave it till I got there, a proper holiday test. 

I well and truly tested this mascara, I wore it every single day of the holiday. I have to say I wasnt overly thrilled with it. I found the wand to be uneasy to use. I dont even know what it was but I just felt that you couldnt get a good wiggle on it. I also found that the mascara didnt actually give me a lot of volume or curl which I dont suppose you can expect from a cheap mascara. Like I say though I had heard amazing things about the Showtime mascara. One thing I will say is that the waterproof side of it was very good. I went swimming and everything in this and it didnt move an inch. There is nothing worse than panda eyes in the water is there and this certainly didnt cause any. 

Overall I wasnt impressed at all with this mascara, I know it was only a cheapy but even still I expect some kind of productness from it. The only thing it really did was hold its waterproofness. Definitely wont be buying this again.
