Review: Milani Runway Lashes Instant Volume Mascara

I’ve got a whole lotta love for Milani right now…

You may have noticed that I haven’t done a mascara review in awhile, but I honestly haven’t found any worth really shouting about lately. That has just changed! Allow me to introduce you to one of Milani’s 2012 launches, their Runway Lashes Instant Volume Mascara. It promises to add volume, length, and curl—let’s take a closer look!

Milani Runway Lashes Instant Volume Mascara

Runway Lashes is an Italian made, paraben-free mascara that’s currently only available in black. It features a pretty basic wand/brush combo, so I was concerned that it wouldn’t really be anything special. I was wrong!

I was so surprised that it actually delivered on all three of Milani’s promises almost immediately. It didn’t take much effort at all to achieve volume, length, and curl, and I also didn’t experience any flaking, smudging, or smearing. The formula seems to be the perfect consistency—neither too moist or too dry. With just a few swipes, I easily achieved the result you see in the photo below.

I don’t own a lot of Milani products in my personal stash, but I have to say—it’s pretty rare that I’ve come across something of theirs that doesn’t work out for me. I can only specifically recall two products that didn’t make the grade in the past, but the rest have been pretty impressive, especially given their very fair prices. If you like what you see, and you have the chance—check this one out. I think Runway Lashes is a great value!
