No 7 Exquisite Curl Mascara review

Yes, I am late doing this review, and you have probably already read a million of them. Anyway, I was lucky enough to be offered the chance to review the new No 7 mascara, exquisite curl. This is the first No 7 mascara I have tried,and I was interested to see how it would fare against my current mascara of choice, Maybelline's The Falsies. 

First up, I like the packaging, it looks pretty classy, which fits in with the market No 7 are aiming for.

The brush itself is made of fibres (not sure thats the right word, I mean its not rubbery), and is a curved shape, not unlike the maybelline one I already have. In terms of application, I found the brush easy to use, on both top and bottom lashes. Importantly, there isn't really any clumping, something which I find very annoying in mascara.

The mascara in action-

My naked, tiny wee lashes.

One coat of exquisite curl.

Two coats.

Both eyes with 2 coats.

Exquisite curl costs £13.00, from boots. Currently there is an offer on where you get a free eye palette with 3 shadows in when you buy the mascara, and you can use a £5 off voucher.

Overall, I like this mascara. It gives my lashes volume, and some curl, without looking too heavy or clumpy. I prefer a more natural, understated mascara, and this is perfect for that. I think I prefer this mascara to my maybelline the falsies for day time. If you like a heavy, very dark and voluminous look, exquisite curls may not suit you. Would I buy it again? Probably not. The full price of £13 is above what I would normally pay for a mascara, and I wasn't so bowled over that I would want to pay that price. With a £5 off voucher, the price of £8 seems more acceptable. However, I am fickle when it comes to mascara, and I don't think I have ever bought the same mascara twice, as there is always a newer, more exciting one on the market. Since I started blogging, this has only got worse, and I now have a backlog of mascaras waiting to be used.

If you, like me, like to try a new mascara every time, get in quick with a money off voucher, and then you can give this a go, and get a bonus palette.

Have you tried this mascara? Do you like it?
