GWP ModelCo Mascara

If I had blogged about this Model Co Mascara a week ago I would have raved about how great it looked and how it gave me long and separated lashes that didn't smudge. But my love of this product was short lived.

ModelCo Mascara, gift with purchase

I got this Model Co Mascara as a gift with purchase of a Womens Health Magazine about two weeks ago and I opened it right away and used it the same day. The magazine was ~$7.50 and the mascara is apparently worth $28 so I thought it was a bargain especially with the great results I got the first few times I used it.

Inbuilt mirror in tube of the mascara

 It comes with an inbuilt mirror in the belly of the tube which is also very handy as you can see what you are doing up close without needing to lean into your bathroom mirror. The wand isn’t too bad either, it looks traditional and it easily reaches hard to reach places with the thinner tip.

But by the end of the first week the mascara glugged up on me :( which I am not happy about. I washed the brush just in case it was a build up of fibre but when I put the brush back in the tube it came out with mascara that was just as gluggy and the build up of mascara on the inner end is just gross and hard to use.

The brush of the ModelCo Mascara was nice enough but not with the mascara which became very gluggly within a week of use

Sadly I did not take a before picture of what the mascara did when I first got it so I cannot show you how much difference a week makes. Now as you can see from the image below the lashes still comes out relatively long after use but not as long as I got from using this product when I first got it and the end result is now also very gluggy which cannot be brushed out using a clean wand.

I have applied the ModelCo mascara only on my top lashes, the now gluggy formula is not as elongating as it was before and the look is also gluggly too, even after I have used a clean mascara brush afterwards to remove some of the glugginess.

So my tip is if you ever see this mascara whether it is on the shelf or a gift with a purchase of a magazine, unless you are really interested in the magazine, give it a miss, it is not even worth the ~$7.50 I payed.
