I just don’t get it… There are so many positive reviews for this mascara on Sephora and this is allegedly “Japan’s #1 selling mascara”. I have straight lashes that point downwards, which also happens to be a common trait among many Asian women. Considering that, I would have thought that a popular mascara in a country where the majority of the population are Asian would address that problem. This mascara just immediately took the curl out of my lashes. I really don’t understand how so many people claim that this mascara curls… If you’ve seen my other mascara reviews you would know that my lashes are capable of looking much much better than this. When I read the reviews about how this mascara is the best thing ever, I think to myself, “WTF are you really serious???”.

This mascara just sucks. Bad.


I like the curved shape of the brush because it coats my lashes better.


Curled lashes


1 coat of Scandal Queen…

    thanks for the review. I hope you’re returning it to sephora now. I hear you on the straight asian lashes, if I don’t use the shiseido mascara base my lashes won’t hold a curl!

    Wow, i can’t believe the difference on this photos! Your lashes without any mascara just curled look soooo much better then with this mascara. Maybe there’s a special way how to apply it correctly?? :???:

    Jen at frmheadtotoe.com also talked about curling as an issue. she said the original is better for holding curls versus the scandal queen series.

      It sounds like the formula has been tweaked for an American market.
