Voluminous eyelashes.

This was my first time using a product from Xtava. So, I wasn't really sure what to really expect. But I was hoping to have the same great experiene as many of the other reviewers. The Xtava Define Lashes Volumizing Mascara came in a box shown below in the pictures. The size of the mascara is the same/average for most mascara applicators.

I have really short eyelashes. So, mascara does wonders for me. Before I applied any mascara, I curled my eyelashes a few times for extra length.
Afterwards, I took the mascara wand and rubbed the end of the mascara tube to get rid of the excess.When I finished, I went near the roots of the top eyelashes and gently wiggled from left and right. Then, I pulled the wand up and through my eyelashes. I dipped the wand again and reapplied the mascara. I was satisfied with the second coat for the top eyelashes and proceeded to gently brush the bottom lashes as well.

When I was done applying the mascara, my eyelashes looked more apparent. They looked more defined and volumized without the clumps and flaking. My lashes definitely appeared longer, darker, and fuller after applying the mascara. The mascara dried quickly and didn't smudge when I blinked.

Pros:
-Waterproof
-No clump/ flaking
-Voluminous eyelashes
-Easy to apply
-Nice dark black color
-No smudging/panda eyes
-Appearance of bigger eyes

Cons:
-There were "Open box" stickers covering the ingredients and information regarding the product. I get why the stickers are there, but there could be other ways to seal the mascara bottle to ensure that no one opened it. Like another reviewer, the sticker didn't come off all the way.
-The applicator brush didn't really fit my circumstances (I guess). I have thin/small eyelashes. So, I think a long wand with short, spaced out bristles would have better fit my needs. But don't get me wrong, my eyelashes came out nice regardless.

Disclosure: I have received this product in exchange for my honest review. However, my review is 100% my own unbiased opinion.
