Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara and Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara Plumping Mascara Review

I have read so many poor reviews of Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara that I was kind of shocked.
I have been using this since it FIRST came out in Las Vegas and haven't stopped yet.  Prior to using Grow Luscious I was using CoverGirl's Lash Blast and while I loved how it looked on, I did not like how it was starting to affect my lashes long term.  They started falling out, and not being a thick and abundant as normal.


Yes, I am one of those girls you hate, with naturally very long and naturally curled lashes that are black, even though I have very pale skin and light eyes.  But I still need mascara!   I have never curled my lashes, but I some mascaras will actually straighten out my natural curl if they are too heavy.


I have used many mascaras from Sephora including DiorShow, Tarte Light's Camera Lashes, Too Faced Lash Injection, Givenchy Phenom'eyes, Fresh, and who knows how many more.  Plus countless drugstore brands.  


Fresh SuperNova and Tarte's were two of my favorites from Sephora, along witth Givenchy.   But I just couldn't justify the prices when i stopped getting them for free. So I went to drugstore brands and once LashBlast started affecting my lashes I went to Revlon's Grow Luscious. 


Now, have my lashes grown like I applied fertilizer every night?  No. Are they a thick as wearing fake lashes,  no.  When wearing the mascara I don't have the BEST eyelashes I have ever had, but when I take it off, they feel healthy and not dried out like I just put asphalt on them.


This mascara doesn't flake, it doesn't run, it doesn't smear and it lasts all day!  My lashes look great, my contacts don't itch any my lashes are back to normal.  I can't ask for anything better.


When I saw there was a 'Plumping' Version on the market I obviously bought it right away.  I recommend you don't.  The wand is different than the original, and it straightens my natural curl and feel heavy on.  I even cleaned off a old wand from the original that I had used up and tried using it that way, and I still don't like it.  It was not a improvement, that is sure and surely did no plumping.  


I have a few other Drug Store mascaras I want to try, but right now this is my go-to.   PLUS at CVS they have been bundling it with ColorBurst Gloss, so you get the gloss for free! I have gotten Strawberry and Gold Dust and have loved them both.


Packaging - Solid wand, not too long, not too thick, and I like the Green color  - 5/5
Value - I have always gotten it in a packed duo with either a gloss or a eyeliner, which makes it a great deal.  5/5
Repurchase - I've already bought this three or four times, so I assume so  5/5
Does it work as advertised?  - Yes, but don't expect miracles.
