In January Victoria Beckham added to her growing beauty line by launching her own mascara. Future Lash Mascara has now been doing the rounds since mid-January, and is well-worth adding to your collection this month.

A typical story of "I couldn't find the perfect x, y or z, so I made it myself", when describing the mascara, VB herself states" “I was tired of my mascara being unable to keep up—always smudging, flaking, or harming lashes. The perfect mascara is something I’ve had in my head since day one, and to create my own, I wanted to reimagine what I needed from the ground up. We nailed it with Future Lash. A clean formula, with plant-based polymers, for ultra-black,  fluttery lashes, and unlike anything I’ve tried. It’s an instant essential, it’s that good.” 

Reviews are so far so good, with many claiming that the new product lives up to the hype and successfully lengthens and lifts lashes, along with addition of "hair care ingredients for lashes" helping to strengthen them over time.
