Hello everyone!
Today I'm going to be reviewing the new(ish) Urban Decay Perversion mascara.
Perversion came out earlier this year and claims that it can give you 'bigger, blacker, badder lashes'.
With this purchase, I also received a free sample of the Subversion lash primer. I've heard so many good
things about this mascara and the fact that Kim Kardashian wore it on her wedding day made me just
want to buy it for that reason! Today I'm going to tell you whether this mascara and primer live up to their
expectations.
When I first heard about this mascara, I wasn't actually very fussed about it. Probably because I hadn't seen
any advertising for it or seen many people even review or talk about it. A few months ago whilst I was having
a look round Urban Decay for something else, the guy at the counter kept pushing this mascara on me and I
just wasn't interested. He said how Kim Kardashian wore it on her wedding day and how great of a mascara
it is. I don't usually buy into all the stuff people at counters say as it's their job to try and sell you the product
whether it's good or not. I will just leave it and research the product for myself. So that's what I did. I found
out that Kim Kardashian did actually wear it at her wedding (which kinda did sell it to me) and I did see some
quite good reviews. I had a coupon code for 20% off so just went ahead and bought it and see if it is actually worth it.
Firstly, the packaging on this mascara is so simple, sleek and pretty. I love the gunmetal colour with the pop of
purple on it. The primer packaging is also very simple and sleek which I love.
The Subversion primer really helps get your lashes ready for the mascara. It separates and lengthens your lashes
so well and just gets them prepared for the mascara. I forgot to picture it after with just the primer on I'm afraid. I personally feel like it really makes a difference. I really feel like you need to use this before the mascara to be
able to get the most out of the mascara itself.
You can see the difference on how much longer my lashes are. This is probably in my opinion the best mascara
I've ever used. My lashes are longer and separated and really make my eyes look more defined. I have used the
mascara with out the primer and I don't feel like I get the same effect unfortunately. When I use the primer I
only need one coat of it and one coat of the mascara and I'm satisfied. Whereas, if I use the mascara alone I will
need a few more coats to get the same effect and my lashes aren't as separated without the primer.
Overall, I really like this mascara and will definitely be repurchasing it. The only thing is, I will have to repurchase
the primer also as I feel like it makes such a difference. At £17, it's a bit pricey but you do get the free primer and
I'm yet to see how long it lasts me. So far I've had it for about a month and I still feel like I've got tons of product
left, so I'm pretty happy with my purchase!
