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?

DeleteI don't wear mascara but if I did I'd go for this!
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteThat's cool that you got it before it hit stores!
ReplyDeletei knoooow, it's really cool. :)
Deletegoodness! 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.
ReplyDeletep.s. finally booked my ticket home! yayayay!!!
i'm like that too, but if i didn't get this for review purposes, i think i'll still make an exception for this one. ;) and yay, you're coming homeee!!! :D
DeleteOK, seriously. I WISH i had come up with this b/c then I'd be a millionaire. Thank you so much for sharing!

DeleteI love lash products and at $21 it looks like a promising product. I recently bought a physican formula organic one so will give a try first and then come back to this one!
ReplyDeleteLong time I haven't stopped by, hope all is well =)
oooh, i'd love to hear all about the physician's formula one! i hope you get to write a review on it. :)
Deletei hope all is well with you too! :D
I like using waterproof mascara, specifically those gel like ones. This sounds cool!
ReplyDelete--Olivia :)
i love how it makes all mascaras waterproof! ;)
DeleteThis sounds awesome! I love waterproof mascara in the summer when my days are spent by the pool :) I want this!
ReplyDeleteyou'll definitely love this then! :)
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletelong and thick lashes are gorgeous! ;)
Deletelovely collection :D
ReplyDeletebtw thanks for pray for me <3
Visit mine again if u want :DD

Deletesoo cool :)
ReplyDeleteI just got mine in the mail yesterday....so excited to use it and how amazing was the packaging?
ReplyDeleteso amazing! i can't wait to read about what you think of the lash genius!
DeleteHaha I love the funny ads campaign! Especially the one with the water Tina Turner style)
ReplyDelete>'.'<
hahaha, i knooow! ;)
DeleteGreat post! I'm following too, dear =)
ReplyDeletethank you!
Deleteinteresting concept, but wouldn't other mascaras mix in the tube? ><
ReplyDeleteI like waterproof makeup but I hate having to take it off XD
oh yeah, taking it off is the hard part, haha. but i guess it's worth it. ;)
Deleteumm, 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. :)
haha those ad campaigns def got my attention!!
ReplyDeletemine too! ;)
Deletesounds like a good buy for a mascara lover. p.s. i've heard so much about Downton Abbey lately that I might have to start watching it.
ReplyDeletei hope you get to watch it soon, it's really good. when you do, let me know how you like it. :D
Deletewow that's a awesome product great post !!
ReplyDeletethank you for the birthday wishes
xoxo

you're welcome! i hope you had an awesome birthday!
DeleteWow, I think I can definitely spare $21 for this! I so need this, especially when I go to the beach!
ReplyDeleteLove, Belle
oh yeah, this will be perfect for the beach! ;)
Deletethanks for yours words mimi! :) xx
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome!
DeleteI totally need to try it. It sounds awesome. Thanks, sweetie and have a wonderful day! xo
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome and i hope you have a wonderful day as well! :)
Deletehi elena! thank you, i am happy you like my blog. and i will definitely check out your blog too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis 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.

the booklet pages are really fun! and you're very welcome, i'm glad you liked my review! :)
DeleteI 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. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I also agree with you that most waterproof mascaras aren't actually waterproof. :/
Lots of love, B
