Its summer and you know what that means... SWIMMING! But who wants to sacrifice looking hot for cooling off?! Nobody! Hahaha. Urban Decay's Cannonball mascara is claimed to be "Ultra waterproof". They say the "light gel formula has been rigorously field-tested in the ocean as well as the sweat-drenched gym. The exclusive Japanese formula refuses to budge. A special microcrystalline wax works with the dense, fuzzy brush to increase seductive length and volume, without ever flaking off and compromising your lashes' natural feathery texture. Mermaids can now sing their siren songs with abandon, and high maintenance types can cry all they want."
Sounds great right? I put this mascara to the test. I went running ( so i was all sweaty ) and then to the beach. This mascara lasted pretty well. No raccoon eyes, and my lashes didn't stick together. (That usually happens to me when i swim with waterproof) But i did get flaky pieces when i rubbed my eyelid to get sand out.
The formula is very thin, and so is the brush. Bristles are short, and the bristle comb is long. I couldn't help but notice that the fibers are all over the place and falling out, or this is a fiber mascara that doesn't enhance lashes. (But i like very dramatic mascaras... ) Would be nice for someone who prefers very natural looks. This didn't give length or volume for me, so its really not something I would wear unless i was going in water. This mascara has no smell which is very good, and isn't waxy feeling like most. Packaging is cute, black and teal.
0.37 oz for $20
Overall, its good for the beach and pool, but in my opinion, isn't worth breaking the bank if you don't have money to blow.
