Etude House Proof 10 Mascara

You’ll have to forgive me for doing so many reviews straight in a row! I’ve got a lot of things going on in life right now, and reviews are just easier/quicker for me to write. Yes, I know reviews aren't as fun to read as other posts, but I've still got tons of Korean goodies I must share! Please stay with me; I promise I have many fun posts planned ahead once everything blows over!

Quick Facts:
Brand: Etude House [에뛰드 하우스]
Name: Proof 10 Mascara: Super Washable [프루프10방수카라:슈퍼워셔블]
Number: 2*, Long Lash Washable [2호 롱 래쉬 워셔블]
Size, Height: 8g, 14.2cm
Price in Korea: 10,000KRW

 *I got Number 2, which is a lengthening mascara. Conversely, Number 1 is a volumizing mascara. This one isn’t very volumizing, so I won’t even discuss that.

Packaging:

Lengthening Ability:

If you look closely, it the mascara didn't seem to actually lengthen my lashes all that much; if anything, it just defined them! It darkened the fine ends of my lashes so that my lashes appeared longer, but really, it was just definition and not quite lengthening.

Waterproofness:

“It’s tough against water, yet washes off easily with warm water,” the saleslady said. Pah, Imagine my disbelief! Surely she was mistaken, what with all the stress from the busy holidays...  But nope, she was right after all! Basically, it goes like this:

1. If you get water or sweat on it, it pretty much stays put so long as you don’t touch it.
2. However, the SECOND you touch it though, it smudges off completely. It comes off VERY easily (and painlessly) with just warm water. It’s actually easier than using makeup
   remover.

You can't tell, butin the “wet” picture below, I had sprayed my eyelids with so much water that my face dripped. You'll notice that except for a minor bit of clumping, the mascara was unchanged!

▲In the third/above picture you can see that since I hadn’t curled my lashes, some of the wet mascara strands rubbed off after touching my lower eyelid when I blinked…so be careful of that! 

Curl-Holding Ability:

You can see it  doesn’t hold curl very well; it basically removes all traces of me having curled my lashes at all. I have been luckier on some days though.

Personal Thoughts/Notes to Self: Based on its mild lengthening effect and mediocre curl-holding  ability, I’ll reckon this as a very, let's say, natural mascara. I prefer extra OOMPH, so I'll be scouting around after this tube is finished. (I think you can get cheaper and more dramatic mascaras in drug stores?) I must say though, I am quite awed by its water-resistance, despite how painlessly it comes off with warm water!
