This past Monday, in celebration of International Women’s Day, L’Oreal Paris Canada held their fifth-annual Women of Worth gala.  Due to COVID-19, the event was held virtually, which actually ended up being in my favour since the event is typically held in Toronto and I live in Winnipeg.

Anyways, since it was virtual, L’Oreal Paris was very kind and invited me to watch the event via Zoom and since it’s typically a fancy event, they sent along a box of items that would come in handy when watching the emotional event. In addition to some bubbly, a box of tissues, and a red matte lipstick, they also included a waterproof mascara, which let me tell you, definitely came in handy (they highlighted so many inspirational women!).

The mascara they sent along was their Bambi Eye Mascara (C$12.98), which I had heard about previously and was interested in trying.  This mascara, which also comes in a normal non-waterproof formula, is a volumizing mascara that is aimed to give you a doe-eyed effect.

The mascara features a unique brush that allows you to sweep the formula on the entire lash from inner to outer corner.  The brush features a mix of long and short bristles and the formula is great for providing separate, definition, and curl.  As a result, you’re left with longer-looking lashes that are curled, smooth, and defined.

Like I said, I was really excited to give this mascara a try since I’ve heard some great things about it. I don’t typically reach for waterproof mascaras since I find it them difficult to remove, but this one actually wasn’t too bad and came off relatively easily.

As for performance, I mean you can tell in the photo below that this mascara is definitely very impressive.  I loved how long it made my lashes look and after one coat I was audibly impressed (I for sure said the word “wow” after applying it).  The formula isn’t clumpy and really does lengthen the look of your lashes.  After trying this mascara, I can definitely see why they called it “Bambi Eye”.

So it’s pretty obvious that I love this mascara and at under $20, it’s definitely worth it to pick up.  I think it even performed better than other luxury mascaras I have in my collection.  Since the one I have is the waterproof version, I’ll definitely hang onto this for summer days when I’m lounging by the pool (currently counting down the days!).
