Funky Monkey's Hyper Volume Mascara Review: A Disappointing Experience

Funky Monkey's Hyper Volume Mascara Falls Flat

summarizeEditor's Summary

I was really looking forward to trying Funky Monkey's Hyper Volume Mascara, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The packaging is super cute and compact, and the formula is smooth and creamy, but that's where the good stuff ends. Application was a bit of a hassle due to the wide cap and uneven brush coating, and the excess formula dried out super quickly. I was expecting a lot more volume, length, and curl, but this mascara just didn't deliver. If you're in the market for a new mascara, I'd say keep looking - there are way better options out there.

Funky Monkey's Hyper Volume Mascara Falls Flat

I'm a natural makeup enthusiast, and I've got to say, mascara is a must-have for me. My lashes are pretty fine, light, and lackluster without it, so I expect a lot from it in terms of volume, length, and curl.

As someone who's tried a fair share of mascaras, I was excited to try Funky Monkey's Hyper Volume Mascara. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

First of all, let's talk about the packaging. The sturdy, compact plastic tube with a cute, salad-green design is quite eye-catching. However, the cap is way too wide for my taste. When the mascara is fresh, there's a ton of excess that stays on the brush, making it impossible to coat my lashes evenly. And to make matters worse, excess also accumulates on the cap itself, drying out and getting all crusty.

The brush is silicone, with a curved shape in the middle. It's got a decent number of bristles, but they're all different lengths. I figured that would be perfect for coating my lashes from base to tip. However, the problem is that the formula just isn't cooperating.

The formula is creamy and smooth, with no clumps to speak of. The color is a deep, rich black that doesn't look washed out at all. However, the smell is a bit too subtle for my liking.

My lashes are on the thinner side, straight, medium-length, and average density. So, when it comes to mascara, I'm looking for volume, length, and dimension. Unfortunately, this mascara doesn't quite deliver on that front.

Applying mascara is a real pain. The plastic cap on the bottle is huge, so when you try to coat your lashes, excess mascara ends up all over the place. It's impossible to get an even coat, and everything just gets all clumpy. I had to use a separate mascara brush to try and tidy things up, but even that didn't work out too well.

It wasn't until the formula got a bit thicker and there was less of it in the tube that I managed to get the hang of applying it with the built-in brush. But even then, the results were less than stellar. I just couldn't seem to get the mascara to coat my lashes evenly, and it would always end up smudged on my top eyelid.

Lengthening is a bit of a weak point for this mascara. My lashes just got a deeper black color, which made them look less pale, but it wasn't like they were actually getting any longer.

Volume is definitely not something this mascara delivers on. After applying it, my lashes just looked like sticks. They were straight, and even more clumpy than before. And forget about trying to add any volume - it was just a lost cause.

Longevity was a major letdown for me. If I apply it in the morning, it starts to flake off by mid-day. Not exactly what I'd call impressive.

On the bright side, allergic reactions aren't an issue for me. It doesn't irritate my eyes, cause discomfort, or trigger any reactions. My eyes aren't itchy, watery, or puffy.

Removal is a breeze. The mascara comes off easily with micellar water, a cleanser, or a hydrophilic oil.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend Funky Monkey's Hyper Volume Mascara. The price is way too high for a product that doesn't deliver. It's been a while since I've used a product this bad, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Unfortunately, my first experience with Funky Monkey was a total letdown. I'm not interested in trying out their other products now... Thanks for listening!
