. . . My Thoughts After Using This Product For 1 Months . . .

What I Thought About the Packaging ?

• The overall packaging of the mascara tube is very sleek and easy to grip onto. It looks kinda like a round ruler shape design.
• The mascara wand looks like the traditional mascara brush but with a modern twist. It is slender on both ends and thicker in the middle of the brush.

What I Love About This Product ?

• Provides major lash definition
• Does lengthen lashes
• Does separate lashes
• Holds up curls

What I Didn't Love About This Product ?

• Not Smudge-proof
• Can be Flaky
• No Major Eyelash Growth
• Does Not Volumize

Product Quality Between "The First Couple Uses" and "After Using It For 1 Months". 

• "The First Couple Uses" : After applying two coats of this mascara my lashes looked longer and definitely more defined. The result was not clumpy and the texture of my lashes were very soft and not crusty. After a full 8 hours work day, minor smudging and flaking.
• "After Using It For 1 Months" : The quality of the mascara was not as good as before and the formula became clumpier and thicker. It still separated my lashes but it did start to clump a lot. After a full 8 hours work day, there were a lot of flakes and my curls were pretty much gone.

Did The Grow-Lash Complex Make My Eyelash Grow Longer and Thicker?

• No; I didn't notice any difference in the length or thickness of my eyelashes.

Who Would I Recommend This Product For ?

• For someone that is looking for a mascara that lengthens and provides definitions for their lashes.
• Someone who wants to go for a natural or professional office look.
• Great for people with shorter lashes that goes straight down.

Would I Buy This Product Again ? 

• No, I would not repurchase this product again since there are other alternative mascaras such as Lots of Lashes that is cheaper and offer better results.

Overall Rating : 3/5.

This is my second month receiving a Glymm box and so far, I'm very satisfied with all the products that I get every month.  For the November box, there were a lot of more products than the October Glymm Box. I will admit sometimes you're not going to get the color or shades that you prefer, but it is definitely worth trying out new stuff that you wouldn't normally have picked out once in a while. This way it gives you a reason to try out that new color that you're too afraid to try.
Hopefully Glymm will have a special Xmas Glymm box in December ! :) If you like to find out more about Glymm and how to subscribe, click here to get your own Glymm beauty box !
