A few of my favorite youtubers raved about Caliray Come Hell or High Water Mascara ($24) , so of course I had to try it. I tend to like drugstore mascara over high-end mascara products.
Drugstore brands are always coming out with new wands and formulas, so to me they dominate the mascara market.
Plus, mascara expires in 6 months (most formulas) so I don’t like the ideas of spending $20+ on it.
The Caliray mascara wand is typical of products that claim to give lashes a lot of volume and definition. It’s easy to apply (not too thick or chunky), and coats the lashes well in 1-2 coats.
TLDR (Too Long Didn’t Read) on the Caliray Come Hell or High Water Mascara:
- The mascara doesn’t do much for lifting or volumizing
- It’s a decent, basic mascara that defines the lashes, but it’s nothing special.
Is the CaliRay mascara waterproof?
CaliRay describes the Come Hell or High Water Mascara ($24) as “water resistant”, this means that the mascara wont rub off if your lashes get slightly wet. However, the mascara is not fully water-proof.
Is the Caliray Come Hell or High Water Mascara worth it?
Caliray describes the Come Hell or High Water Mascara as a “volumizing tubing mascara” with fibers that give “separation and maximum coverage”.
The mascara does a good job at separating my lashes for some definition, but it’s not very volumizing for my lashes.
This formula is ok, but gives my lashes the same look as a basic drugstore mascara.
