I'm not someone who would normally splurge on a mascara, considering they have to be tossed out every 3-4 months. Most ones from the drugstore do a good job without breaking the bank for me. However, I got to try out a deluxe sample of YSL's Baby Doll ($30) mascara a while back and absolutely loved it so much as to splurge on a full size!
I love the packaging of this mascara - its very classy and the tube is lightweight. There's a light floral scent that doesn't bother me, but I would prefer unscented. My requirements from a mascara are pretty simple, (sort of) - lots of volume, clean definition and decent length. I almost, always use a lash curler, so anything that holds a curl is a big plus for me. YSL's Baby Doll is very lengthening, volumizing and holds the curl fabulously well. It does however clump, especially when used in a hurry, so the clean definition part of it isn't quite perfect. It also doesn't flake or smudge at all, unlike many non-waterproof mascaras that leave a ring of pigment around my eyes. I picked up '01 Fetish Black', which is quite glossy and pigmented, and the formula, although slightly on the wetter side initially, dries pretty quick and washes off easily. I do wish the brush was a tad less wobbly though. My eyelashes are extremely short and stubby and this grabs even the tiniest of lashes easily and lengthens them pretty well.
Overall, I absolutely love it and will most likely re-purchase, unless I see something a little more fancy that I would want to try out. Plus, I love trying out new mascaras (all the more better if they're affordable) and switching it up pretty often!
