Belvada mascara £5 from £20 at Boots

Just ordered 2 for free pick up in store. Hope they are good but worth a try for that price. LINK

    bought one a bit ago for £5. Frankly I'm disappointed. Says you can use it with one hand, and that's true - but to do this it is A LOT bigger than a normal mascara and I find it very clumsy to manoevre. I also find the mascara itself isn't as good at making lashes look longer or thicker than some others.

    I'm glad I tried it, but certainly wouldn't pay more than £5 for it. I'm using it up as a base with a final coat of maybelline on top now

    Very confused!! How many hands do they think it takes to apply mascara!!:think:

    One to hold the tube, one to hold the wand! The idea with this one is the wand pops out of the tube meaning you can do it one-handed, though really I don't think anyone minds using both hands for the 10 seconds it takes to apply mascara:D

    I agree :p

    Just looked at the difference in size - when I take the brush out of my maybelline, and compare it to the belvada, which is integral in the mascara (you slide the brush up and down) the belvada is double the length, and very bulky. Instead of a light thin brush you have to use the entire thing which is silly, and I reckon more difficult to use....
