I recently picked up the new Mac mascara 'Haute and Naughty' and thought it would be good to do a review to tell you what I think about it.
Firstly, I absolutely love the packaging! Anything pink, purple and sparkly is good with me! It is a two in one design featuring a defining, natural look and a dramatic, fuller look. I really like this type of design as it is so versatile, but I have yet to come across one that I really love, especially as I usually prefer plastic wands instead of brushes...could this be the one?

To apply the defining and natural look simply unscrew the top part of the mascara (the pink bit!). I really love the effect this gave my lashes, it defined them beautifully and gave them a perfect amount of volume for daytime. It didn't lengthen them that much, but luckily I have quite long eye lashes already so that was fine with me! If you do prefer something that lengthens then this might not be a great choice for you. The wand is a nice size (not too big) which made it easy to apply. It lasted all day and didn't smudge on my oily eyelids! All in all I am very happy with the results!
Time to see if the fuller version is as good...

Lashes after applying the dramatic wand |
Unscrew the purple lid and the wand is heavily loaded with mascara which creates a false lash look. This really added volume to my eyelashes and unlike the natural design it lengthen them too. As it is the same wand (just with more product) I found it easy to apply and it lasted well like before. I didn't apply much, a couple of sweeps was plenty and my friends thought I was wearing falsies! There is a risk of clumping if you apply to much...as I discovered!
I tried using both wands together, the natural one first to define and then the dramatic one for volume and length, however this didn't really have the desired effect! It ended up being a whore lash situation ladies, I wouldn't recommend it! It is definitely one wand or the other! #clumpclumpcitybitch
I used a face wipe to remove it at the end of the evening and it came away quite easily but my god it went EVERYWHERE! My face was completely covered in it! You might need two wipes to actually get you're face clean!
To conclude I am very happy with my new mascara! It will be perfect for my upcoming weekend away with the girls, a natural look for in the day and a dramatic look for the evening - no need to pack two mascaras or false eyelashes! At RRP £18.00 I think this is a really reasonable price for the results it gave me! Have you tried it? How did it work for you? Thanks for reading!
