review: urban decay perversion mascara

hi guys! i've got my review for urban decay's new perversion mascara for ya! i received this sample via twitter, whenever it was they said you could tweet for one.... anyway, i got it last weekend because i had them mail it to my mom's instead of my place. >.<

impressions:

• the first couple times i used this mascara, i was skeptical. it seemed kinda like any other mascara to me, except maybe a little blacker..?
• i do love how dark black it is, but most other mascaras fare well enough in that department in my opinion. 
• it does give a bit of length to my lashes and a little volume, but the volume's almost negligible. this mascara can be built up for a spidery lashes effect--if desired. again, i feel like there are select drug store mascaras that make my lashes look comparable at an obviously lower price.
• relative to most other mascaras i've tried, i do feel that my lashes are much softer and more flexible to the touch, verses feeling crunchy and hard.
• i typically don't use a lash curler--and i didn't for the photos below--and it gave a teeny bit of curl to them.
• i didn't have any flaking with this mascara, even after 12 hours!
• removal is just like any other non-waterproof mascara
• application technique: i found that this mascara worked best when coating one eye, moving to the other to let the first dry, then returning to the first eye, and then the second again.

the verdict:

while i do like this mascara, i'm not sure how i feel about purchasing the full size for $22 when it comes out next week. [plus i have a crapton of unopened mascara still as it is...but that's another story!] mascaras with comparable effects that i can think of are almay get up and grow and maybelline falsies flared.
