Hello, hello!
Today I’m reviewing the BigShow Waterproof Mascara from Annabelle Cosmetics, a Canadian brand! Here’s what it says about the BigShow WP Mascara:
Dare to get the max volume effect with the new BigShow Waterproof mascara! Its volume-boosting waterproof formula, enriched with carnauba extract for a softening effect, delivers instant volume. Plus, its clump-free brush helps you avoid heavy lashes.
It also says that three coats will give 11X the volume.
Onto the review:
My lashes are long and stick straight. My eyes are sensitive so many mascaras tend irritate my eyes. That being said, I have seven requirements for a mascara:
1. waterproof
2. smudge-proof
3. non-flaking / non-clumping
4. must be DARK black (not blackish, not brown black, and definitely not grey black)
5. volumizing
6. must hold a curl
7. non-irritating to my sensitive eyes
So how does this mascara measure up to my seven requirements? I would say that this mascara is on par with my holy grail mascaras (Essence Cosmetics I ❤ Volume and Get Big Lashes Waterproof)! It meets all seven of my requirements! I just don’t think that it gives 11X the volume, but it does add a nice bit of volume to my lashes, even with just one or two coats. I never wear three coats of mascara, so maybe it really is the third coat that does it volume-wise.
I was hoping to do some swatching and photographing today, but thus far it is a dark and rainy day. Hope the sun comes out later!
Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!
Disclosure: I purchased this!

Holy crap. I also require waterproof mascara – I would never have thought Annabelle would have a good one! Going on my drugstore shopping list 🙂 Thanks for the review!

I tried it on a whim, when my drugstore was out of the Essence ones. I love it!

I tried the Big Show in the pink tube before the whole relaunch and it was really volumizing but it was clumpy for me. I liked it but not love it. Might have to try the new ones. I don’t like waterproof mascaras so I’d get the regular one!

I was surprised that this one wasn’t clumpy for me!

This mascara sounds so good – even better that it met all seven of your requirements. Would love to see your lashes before and after wearing this!

Wow! That’s awesome that it meets all 7 requirements! I have the hardest time finding a mascara that holds a curl on my lashes so I totally need to give this a try 🙂

Such a weird number – 11 x the volume? Haha! That said I don’t think I’ve ever tried an Annabelle mascara. It sounds promising and I love supporting Canadian brands.
