The Product: MUFE Smoky Extravagant Mascara ($28 CDN)
This was my firs time trying a MUFE mascara. I must admit, I was quite intrigued by the brush. The brush itself tapers and claims to be "ergo-conic" and allows for an ultra-precise application. This particular formula claims to be both lengthening and add volume.
The Results
The full-size version of this MUFE mascara has a lovely conic shape like the brush. Much like all MUFE packaging, it's simple and classic. As for the actual product:
Formula: This is a dryer mascara, which I enjoy. It builds layers really nicely and doesn't clump as you build up the product.
Application: I found the brush difficult to work when trying to get those little lashes in the inner corners of the eye, because the brush itself is not even, the product does not evenly distribute when you dip the brush in the mascara tube. This made it difficult to get an even application

Left/Middle: 2 coats of mascara; Right: after 8+ hours wear
Wear-ability: I could live with the wand if this mascara wore well all day, but within about 4-6 hour wear I started to notice smudging on my lower lash line - full results in the picture above after 8+ hours of wear
Final Verdict: Skip this mascara, I'm glad I was able to try this mascara out as a sample. Had I paid full price, I would of returned this bad boy for something else. The smudging for me is a deal breaker! There's so many great mascaras out there, but for a higher-end mascara costing $28, and smudging? Unacceptable.
