It's safe to say I'm totally obsessed with UK drugstore (or I guess I should say "high street") brands. I'm in love with Sleek and now MUA and I just can't stop! So let's talk about this Every Lash Mascara, shall we?
This mascara claims to be a one-stop shop with both volume and lengthening benefits.
The brush reminds me a lot of Benefit's They're Real Mascara's with its plastic bristles and the tip of the brush being fully surrounded by them. I found this aspect, however, useless with all mascaras that employ them since the tip just pulls a big clump of mascara gunk out with it so you can't use it for reaching those hard-to-get-to lashes. But I like the brush overall. It's on the leaner side, so it's not hard to use without making a mess.
The formula leans a bit on the dry side. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not the driest I've ever come across, but it's definitely not wet. I'm actually finding more and more that I prefer drier formulas. They tend to add real volume instead of just clumps.

| 1 coat |
One coat of Every Lash is pretty much a waste of time. It pretty much just gives my lashes a darker color, making them more apparent but does not increase volume nor length in any way.

| 2 coats |
Two coats is where the real magic happens. Do you see where it looks the actual amount of lashes seems to have multiplied? "Every Lash" is a pretty accurate name for this mascara when it comes to the 2nd coat because it really does seem to bring out every single lash you have.
I don't see the individual lashes getting thicker, though, and I also don't notice in actual lengthening. But that still doesn't shake my amazement at how my lashes have appeared to doubled in count!

| 3 coats |
I wouldn't recommend going past a 2nd coat. Not that it hurts at all, but just that it doesn't seem to do anything. I found with this mascara it's best to stick to just 2 coats. No more, no less.
Bottom Line: Amber Likes!!
I was really impressed with the multiplying effect I got with this mascara, and if I got some length out of it this would have probably been a "Love". While it doesn't deliver on the length, I would still check this out if you want to make all your lashes stand out!
And one random thing I forgot to mention, this has a fruity smell to it. So if you hate that typical mascara smell, this really might for you. If a scented mascara is off-putting to you however, I can say that for me it didn't irritate my eyes at all and I didn't notice the scent at all until I actually put the brush to my nose for a sniff.
You can find more information about this mascara at the MUA website. It retails for 3 euros, which comes out to be about $4.77 US.
Just a tip: MUA is currently holding a thing on their company Facebook page where they feature a different sale every time they reach a certain number of facebook fans.
