Review: Smashbox Lash DNA in Midnight Black



Lash DNA Mascara by Smashbox Cosmetics: Midnight Black

So, even though I am not a big fan of the Smashbox Bionic mascara, I had to give this one a try.  I am really glad I did.  This is advertised as a lengthening and curling mascara, and it does both like a charm.  First off, the mascara has a really unique double-helix brush.  The shape of the brush is excellent for lenghtening, separating, and curling each and every lash, no matter how small.  You get a beautiful fanned out effect.  It actually looks like you are wearing false eyelashes.   Although you don't have to with this product, I suggest using a lash curler to optimize the effect.

With Lash DNA, I tend to forget during the day that I put mascara on because it's so light, fluffy, and non clumping.  It doesn't stiffen or harden the lashes at all.  Also, a little goes a long way.  It's quick and easy to apply.  The formula is a little dry, but it's good because it doesn't run like the more watery brands.  It's not HARD like most drugstore brands, just a little dryer than some in consistency. 

I always get a ton of compliments on my lashes in this mascara! I get tons of volume and length, and it doesn't clump at all.  Also, it doesn't wear off or flake during the day.  Even with DiorShow, I tend to get black mascara flakes on my face by the end of the day.  With this one, it looks as good at 10:00 pm when I wash it off as it did at 6:30 am when I put it on.

I was reluctant to try this one after the Bionic Mascara, but I am really glad I did.  It's an amazing product.

I give it 5/5 stars!
