PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME...

...if the new MacStack Mascara (€28.50, brownthomas.com) is really as good as the hype. After all, this is the first time the brand has advertised on television and clearly the added buzz is gaining customer interest. The short answer is: yes, because this is an excellent all-rounder mascara. The promise that you can keep building up coats of product on the lashes without it clumping is indeed true: I’ve kept on applying several times over without a clump in sight. Plus it’s really excellent for adding length and even curl. As I’ve got older I’ve found that my lashes increasingly benefit from (sometimes even require) a visit from the eyelash curlers pre-mascara in order to get proper uplift, but joyously that’s not the case with MacStack. Excellent stuff.
