Sephora + Pantone Universe Bold Marsala Mascara & Brow Highlighter Review & Swatches
Sephora + Pantone Universe Bold Marsala Mascara & Brow Highlighter is a new limited edition colored mascara celebrating Marsala, the Patone Color of the Year.
Take a look!
As you know Sephora has launched a new Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year Collection for 2015 which celebrates the new and very gorgeous shade Marsala.
As with years past Sephora has introduced a tinted mascara and this year it’s in Marsala. This comes housed in a gorgeous ombre box with a clear window that shows the mascara suspended within. It’s actually a clear wrap holding the mascara in the box but it gives the illusion that the mascara is floating. The mascara itself is packaged in a pretty rose gold casing with a larger bushier brush for application.
I actually don’t really get on well with tinted mascaras. They aren’t dramatic enough for me but if you happen to have red hair or brownish red hair this might just make for a great brow highlighter as it multitasks for lashes and brows.
I tried it on my lashes and the color wasn’t terribly noticeable (as you can see below). It doesn’t do much for volume or length in my experience with it. It does remove easily, doesn’t smudge, or flake through the wear. If you’re really looking you can see that it dyed my lashes a reddish brown. It’s a pretty effect I just wish it was more pigmented. I did try it on my brows but again I had a hard time building up the color enough to actually see a difference but my brows are quite dark and quite thick so perhaps a lighter brow shade and a thinner brow line might feel it looks better.
I wouldn’t dub it “wildly pigmented” as Sephora markets it however, it is a uniquely shaded mascara.
Sephora + Pantone Universe Bold Marsala Mascara & Brow Highlighter is just one of several items releasing in the 2015 Sephora Pantone Collection. Honestly, it’s easy enough to skip when presented with other items in the collection such as the gorgeous lipstick color that launched with this collection as well as the eyeshadow palette!
The entire Sephora Pantone Collection is available now at Sephora.com and should be available soon in stores.
