Would I repurchase?  I would repurchase this.  And while I’m sure there’s a drugstore mascara that can give me the same look, I figure why not spend a bit more and know I already like it.

::: The Product :::
M.A.C. describes Dazzle Lash as “A mascara that instantly creates a starburst dazzle effect. The trick lies in a new compact-sized, slightly sculpted brush applicator that singles out and pushes lashes to go bigger, bolder, longer, with a plush, glamorous curve. A rich application that delivers what you want: dazzling long lashes.”

Dazzle Lash is available in two colors: Dazzle Black and Star Brunette.  As with all M.A.C. products, the packaging is black, and the brand name is written across the bottom of the tube in white.  The cap has a funky embossed design.  Each tube contains 0.28 oz. of product.

::: My Experience :::
I have learned not to expect too much from a  mascara… Everytime I do, my heart sinks when it lets me down.  So, while I didn’t expect much from M.A.C. Dazzle Lash, I didn’t expect what I got either.

Now, were my lashes bolder, bigger or thicker?  Nope!  Not even a little.  What I actually got was separated NATURAL looking lashes.  I was quite surprised, and pleasantly so.  I consider M.A.C. Plush Lash my “WHAM BAM!” mascara, so I guess this can be my “my lashes but better” mascara.

Application was simple, and wasn’t messy.  The mascara actually applies well, and I’m pretty sure the separation is thanks to the tree-shaped brush.  It’s definitely smaller than your normal mascara brush, and it doesn’t grab a lot of product to gloop onto the lashes – which is always a plus.  The product isn’t too wet or too dry, and it dries rather fast too.

Not once have I had issues with smudging, flaking or raccoon eyes.  As for washing off, this is a cinch IMHO.  I didn’t have any issues either with Almay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover or Philosophy Purity Made Simple.

::: Overall :::
I will most definitely be buying this again, even if it costs a pretty penny.  I figure if it works, stick with it.  I’m tired of searching for the next best mascara.  I have all I could want between Plush Lash and Dazzle Lash… And I actually find myself reaching for this mascara the most
