Fairy Drops Scandal Queen mascara ($24.00) reminds me of a time my friend told me he slept with a stripper. Before hooking up, this stripper acquaintance of his was the perfect girl to him; beautiful, charming, & danced well. So he envisioned making love with her to be absolutely mind-blowing because all he thought of her, plus her being a stripper had to count for something..!! Well, he did the deed & found the experience mediocre. A total disappointment!!

Fairy Drops is like that. I had so much hype for this mascara when I heard it would be sold at Sephora. There were so many valid reasons to be excited: it's a Japanese brand (like the famous Majolica Majorca) so it was bound to be good, Fairy Drops already has a huge fan base for their original purple container formula, & the packaging looks super lush & cute! I was practically frothing at the mouth when I was showing it to my boyfriend, who then grabbed a box & told me, "okay, let's get it!"

I could barely contain my excitement as I opened it up the next day to try it out for the first time. With lashes curled & ready, I waved the unique little wand through them, expecting beautiful, voluminous, lengthened miracle lashes. But as the seconds of drying past, my lashes slowly began to droop. Just like my friend & his stripper-lover, I found this mascara to be a total disappointment.

Actual Picture

IN YOUR FACE VEGAS STYLE PACKAGING~

I started off with natural curled bare lashes. I ended with droopy disappointment :<!! *note: my eyes get off-color like that when I'm on the computer laaaate & wake up super early (I need to stop doing that :c)

One more thing I have to note about this mascara: other girls have mentioned that this product does not flake, yet it did for me after 3 hours of wear. They also say this mascara is definitely water-resistant, & I will argue that as well. You are not supposed to curl your lashes after applying mascara, but I curled after in my first try. I then put on my contacts, & simply getting the lashes damp caused them to droop down to the picture you see above. I mentioned this to a MUA at Sephora as I was returning this product, & she said, "have you tried to put on your contacts before applying mascara?" It was a valid question (& yes I usually do), but I assured her my point was that I couldn't believe my lashes drooped after only getting them damp when the formula is supposedly "water-resistant" (meaning it can withstand tears, dampness, just not fully submerging in water, which I did not do).

Overall

I have naturally long lashes, & I found this mascara to be a total bust. Perhaps this will go well for people with shorter, more sparse lashes. However, I don't actually recommend this to anyone, as it's not as water-resistant as it claims to be. One positive note I didn't bring up was that unlike most mascaras, this feels non-hardening & actually quite good for you. But that's it, I really am not fond of it.. :c
