Dalton Cosmetics Lash Fix Tilting Mascara

RRP: £15
NB. The brand is also known as Doll10 on some websites.

--What does the promo say?--
"When it comes to fantastic lashes, it's all about the angle! Twist this duo of Lash Fix Tilting Mascaras and achieve the perfect angle for coating lashes in hard-to-reach inner and outer corners without making a mess. The dense black mascaras deliver stellar volume, length, and curl, and even feature Nutra 6 Complex to condition lashes. Flake-free and smudge-free."

--Packaging--
The shine of the pink lettering and contrasting black tube is eye-catching and different. This mascara also has the unique selling point of a lid that twists the mascara wand in order to create a tilting effect, so that smaller and corner lashes can be more easily reached. However, this function broke quite quickly, meaning that mine is now stuck on the tilted setting.

--Application--
Twist the lid to set the tilted function. This can be done whether the wand is in or out of the tube. After this, apply the mascara normally.

--Appearance--
A greater lengthening effect is achieved thanks to the tilting function, as it does mean that smaller and corner lashes are coated more effectively. 

--Texture and consistency--
Mostly goes on smoothly, although some clumps are evident.

--Removal--
This is difficult. Even with a normally reliable makeup remover, panda eyes are still visible in the morning.

--Value for money--
At £15, this is pushing the upper limits of good value, especially given that this product has a few faults. For this price, I'd be looking more at mascaras by Urban Decay, Aveda, Fashion Fair or Benefit.
