The Barry M mascara wand is very similar to Benefit’s, and gave the same effect. As someone who likes their mascara really dark (just me?) I did have to comb on quite a few layers for the desired colour, which could mean it might run out sooner.
When I asked my colleague what she thought of my lashes, excessively fluttering them at her, she said they looked very curled. She’s right, the mascara lifts and curls lashes, lasting until you take it off at night.
Again it was pretty difficult to take off a night, which is probably related to the fact that it stays on so well all day. At only a fiver, I don’t see masses of difference between Benefit and Barry M to be honest – apart from one is four times the cost.
