Packaging

Luxury packaging of a luxury brand..nothing more to say ;) The different thing about this mascara and the reason I bought it is the brush. It is very small and round. This brush is suppose 'to grip at lashes starting at the roots'. 

In the picture down below there's a comparison of the regular mascara brush and Phenomen' eyes brush so you can actually see the difference.

Texture/Color

Let's start with what this mascara is suppose to do. According to Sephora - 'Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara perfectly curls and separates lashes. It has a high-tech, patented round sphere at the tip of the precision wand that reaches every lash and adapts to all eye shapes. It's a Sephora exclusive.'

There are before and after pictures of my lashes down below (the pictures are taken in natural lighting with no flash). 

The texture is nice easy to apply. Doesn't have any particular scent.

My opinion

Honestly, I don't like it. I wanted this mascara so badly and I am very disappointed.. It looks great there's no doubt about it you can see that in the pictures. BUT it takes very long time to apply it properly because of the small brush, it is also not a long lasting mascara - the peaces of it started falling of after just few hours of wearing it (maybe it was old? I don't know..). And this mascara is also quite hard to remove. I think there are a lot better mascara for $30 (and less) in the market. But that's only my opinion, I've heard that a lot of people like it that was one of the reasons I bought it.

Would I repurchase this product? No.

Have you tried this mascara? What is your opinion?
