Love the Lift Instant Curl and Volume Mascara

Nice

I love how it didn't clumps up. It did give a little less coverage than I expected or should I say a little less curl than expected but it got the job done. I love how it didn't smudge if I wiped my eye. The packaging is cute.

It’s Nice, But…

So, I tried Sephora’s “love the lift” mascara. It’s really a mixed bag for me, as there are things that I love and detest about this product. Some of the pros of this are as follows: it’s definitely pigmented, it does give nice lift to the lashes, and it does give the lashes a bit of a curl—as well as a bit of length. But, there are a few cons I want to address: it dries down so fast that it’s hard to properly layer the product. While I love a dry formula for mascara, this one is a bit too dry. The wand is another issue. While it fits the shape of my eye easily, it doesn’t quite grip the lashes as well as I would like. Also, let’s talk about lasting power. I live in the South, and it’s already getting humid down here. This product smudges easily, so a waterproof version would be ideal for me. Also, while it does curl and lift, the lashes don’t stay that way. I lose the lifting effect after about an hour or so into wear time. Also, there’s a significant amount of flaking going on. I don’t wear mascara on my lower lashes, but I had so many little black specks under my eyes from this formula. Suffice it to say that this is an okay formula, but definitely not Sephora’s best work.

Love this new addition to my bag!

I’ve been loving the Sephora Collection Love The Lift Curling + Volumizing Mascara! It’s a great mascara that delivers beautiful lift and volume without any clumping, which can be hard to find. It stays in place all day without smudging or flaking, even through long wear. I also appreciate how easily it washes off at the end of the day without needing to scrub or use heavy removers. The price point is amazing for the quality you get, making it a fantastic value. Plus, Sephora’s in-house brand is always reliable, and this mascara definitely lives up to their reputation for creating high-performing, affordable products. I would definitely recommend this mascara to anyone looking for an everyday option that truly performs! *This Product was received as part of an educational promotion.*

This is a must !

Okay im obsessed!! I have really straight lashes and it’s super hard for me always have them curled and always have be using water proof. But this mascara actually made my lashes stay up, the wand is perfect because it gets every little lash especially in the corners. The perfect amount comes too so it won’t smudge or flake either. I love that it gives your lashes the perfect length, so if you have short lashes I’d give it a try as well. I have long lashes but I’m sure this one will definitely give you that lift curl! I used one two coats and loved it, my favorite part overall is the fact that it does give that volume and lift that you need for your lashes to be popping 24/7! It’s going to be in my purse from now on. I always carry one just in case!

Didn’t hold curl but that’s normal for me

The SEPHORA COLLECTION Love The Lift Curling + Volumizing Mascara in Ultra Black. This claims to have be an ultra-black and buildable, weightless mascara enriched with gravity-defying wax for an instant curl and 12-hour lifted-volume effect. I have very straight eyelashes and always curl them, but still find they fall back to straight during the day. Waterproof mascara does not even hold curl in my lashes, so I don't really fault any formula for failing to remained curled. This is a lightweight formula and is very comfortable and easy to apply but I did not find it held curl for long at all, but I don't blame the mascara, of course. I typically wear 1-2 coats of mascara and applied this mascara the same way. It did build nicely and didn't look clumpy. I had no issues removing it.

Instant lift without a curler!

I had so much fun trying this mascara! The texture is creamy but lightweight, and it doesn’t have any strong smell, which I love. I applied it without using a curler just to see how powerful it was—and wow, it lifted and volumized my lashes beautifully! Application is super smooth, and it doesn’t clump or flake throughout the day. It made my lashes look naturally curled, fuller, and longer. Plus, it kept them soft, not stiff! Highly recommend if you want effortless, bold lashes without extra tools.

It’s nice

It’s a nice mascara overall, but I find I have to do several layers to really get the coverage and volume I’m looking for. Not a huge deal, just takes a little extra time. Also, I’m personally not a fan of curved wands—I know some people love them, but they’re just not my thing. Still, the formula is decent and doesn’t flake, so that’s a plus.

Ready for take-off!

Ready for take-off with this new lifting mascara. From the start, you can tell this mascara will be an excellent value for its price point. Next, I love the design of this bottle. The purple and teal shimmer is gorgeous and makes me excited to have it as part of my makeup collection. Next, the seal is tight so I'm not worried about leakage or the product drying out. There is a decent amount of mascara in the container so you get an even coat on the wand every time. The curved shape of the brush helps to add volume to my usually straight and thin lashes. The pigment applies well and evenly. I've added swatches of the product to this review. I also feel like it lasts me a good portion of the day with no smudging or signs of wear. Very happy with the product, even more so considering the value/price. This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review,

Mascara

Sephora’s in-house mascara delivers solid performance at a reasonable price point. It lengthens and volumizes lashes without excessive clumping, and the formula holds up well throughout the day with minimal smudging. The wand is easy to handle and works well for both upper and lower lashes. While it may not compete with some high-end brands in terms of dramatic effect, it’s a reliable everyday option for those looking for definition and wearability.

Like it, but....

This mascara gave my lashes tons of length and volume, but getting it onto my lashes was a bit of a process. I don't like that the applicator brush has a little too much bend to it; the product seems to come out a little lumpy and flaky, and because the applicator has so much give, it is hard to get the lumps cleaned off the applicator on the edge of the tube. Once it's on my lashes it's great, but it's kind of painful getting it there. I might repurchase, but likely to try another brand first.

Not my favorite

This mascara is just okay to me. I have long, stick straight eyelashes that point down. I always curl my eyelashes before applying mascara. This mascara claims to have instant curl and an extended lifted volume effect. I tried applying this without curling my lashes just to see how it would look. I didn’t do much. I tried it many times after curling my eyelashes. It looked okay. In my opinion, it didn’t give much to my lashes. It may work for someone that just wants a natural, daily mascara that doesn’t provide much drama. I do really like the curved brush. It separates my lashes very well. The formula just ends up weighing my eyelashes down and they don’t hold much of a curl. I normally do not have this issue. I think if your eyelashes have a natural curl to them, this could be great.

Must buy!

I am so impressed with the Love The Lift Mascara by Sephora! From the very first use, it gave my lashes a gorgeous lift and curl that lasted all day — no lash curler needed. The formula is rich and jet black, giving my lashes incredible definition without clumping or flaking. I especially love the hourglass-shaped brush; it grabs every lash and fans them out beautifully, making my eyes look instantly more awake and open. It wears comfortably throughout the day, and I didn’t experience any smudging, even after hours of wear. Plus, it’s super easy to remove at night, which is always a win in my book. This mascara gives high-end results at a fraction of the price. I’ll definitely be repurchasing — it’s officially earned a spot in my everyday makeup routine!
