Review: Fairy Drops Scandal Queen Mascara

Fairy Drops Mascara is a huge hit in Japan. It's advertised to be one of a kind due to its unique, rippled, fiber brush that is supposed to catch all lashes and provide an all-day curl. The idea is to achieve the look of having doll-like lashes, a staple favorite amongst the Asian community. Fairy Drops is so popular overseas that the wand was patented by its creator, a Japanese TV personality!


Please imagine my excitement when its Scandal Queen formula recently migrated its way over to the States. I fully expected Scandal Queen to trump my beloved Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara but heartbreak ensued when I realized the mascara didn't give me the lift or curl that I was expecting it to. The fact that Scandal Queen is an Asian brand made me all the more surprised since one of the most common complaints by we Asians is that many mascaras don't deliver its promoted results. Often times, it's because Asian lashes tend to be shorter and lay straight making them difficult to curl. Those exact reasons are why it takes a special mascara to bring our stubborn lashes to an all-day curl.

For now, the Sephora four-star rated Scandal Queen mascara's best use will be on my very few bottom lashes and I am back to professing my love for Lancome's Hypnose Drama mascara.
