Anastasia of Beverly Hills: Lash Genius Waterproof Top Coat

Happy Monday!

Spring is really in the air! 
(Although Los Angeles decided to have one last blast of extremely cold weather over the weekend...)

Anyway, one of the things we can look forward to this Spring is the launch of a new product from Anastasia of Beverly Hills: the Lash Genius!


LASH GENIUS WATERPROOF TOP COAT, $21


- waterproof when you want it to be
- lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts
- doesn't clump
- colorless topcoat
- hypoallergenic
- doesn't dry lashes
- waterproofs ANY MASCARA
- doesn't harden mascara

Anastasia of Beverly Hills kindly sent me one Lash Genius to try out for you guys. :)

cool bubble envelope!

My Lash Genius came with this booklet (the pages are shown above).

Directions: Carefully apply one or two coats on top of mascara to waterproof and refresh.
To remove, must use waterproof eye makeup remover.

I think the name is absolutely perfect because the product is a genius idea!
Especially for me -- I constantly have to apply eye drops to make sure my contacts don't dry out -- my mascara needs to be 100% waterproof at all times! And that's exactly what Lash Genius does -- keeps my mascara waterproof. :)

I think it's great that it works with any kind of mascara.
You can even use this for waterproof mascaras (from experience, not all "waterproof" mascaras are actually 100% waterproof :/).

The only problem I had was that I didn't have a waterproof eye makeup remover, haha!
Luckily, my sister has one -- I must get one for myself, though (any suggestions?).

Also, it might be a bit of a challenge taking it off -- it is, after all, waterproof and long-lasting. ;)
You just have to be careful and gentle when taking off your mascara/Lash Genius.

The tube is reasonably sized (Net Wt. 5.5g) -- a little goes a long way.

At $21, I think this is a really good buy and a great investment -- especially if mascara is a big part of your makeup routine.



Available May 2012 at Sephora
Price: $21

What do you think of Anastasia of Beverly Hills' new Lash Genius?
Is this something you would consider buying?

  7. goodness! it sounds like a great addition to my make-up bag but I have this thing about spending that amount of money on mascara, etc. i don't have a problem with buying lipstick or blush for that price or more but somehow for mascara type products, I stick to the drugstore type or the gift with my estee lauder purchases.

    p.s. finally booked my ticket home! yayayay!!!

  23. Hmm, might have to consider some of this, but not sure about the hard to remove part. That is my least favorite thing about waterproof anything. Thanks for the honest review!

  29. I am needing a new mascara to try. I have suddenly decided I dislike the one I am currently using. And mascara is my favorite makeup. I love long thick looking lashes.

  36. interesting concept, but wouldn't other mascaras mix in the tube? ><
    I like waterproof makeup but I hate having to take it off XD

    1. oh yeah, taking it off is the hard part, haha. but i guess it's worth it. ;)
      umm, i don't think it will really mix in the tube. you just have to put the lash genius over your regular mascara, kind of like a top coat. :)

  37. haha those ad campaigns def got my attention!!

  44. This sounds really cool! I agree with you. Waterproof mascaras don't work 75% of the times. They usually smudge all over my under eyes. But I would really like to try this. I like it truly lasts a long time. Thanks for being honest in your review! It was really helpful. I also enjoyed reading the booklet pages. haha.

  45. I would totally invest on this! I have super sensitive eyes so they water all the time, which sucks since I do like wearing mascara. I MUST try the Lash Genius Waterproof Top Coat then. :)

    P.S. I also agree with you that most waterproof mascaras aren't actually waterproof. :/

    Lots of love, B
