Pixi Beauty products are raved over social media like crazy and to be honest, they deserve it. They have the cutest packagings, decent prices and most of the products are worth every single penny. Today I have Black Laquer Lash Primer by Pixi Beauty on my blog and I will tell you if you should invest your money in this product or not.
Black Lacquer Lash Primer:
They claim:
This multi-use black lash primer plumps, protects, and preps lashes.
Product DetailsThis is the essential prep step for full, voluminous lashes. The rich black formula is packed with vitamins A & C plus panthenol to help keep lashes in optimum condition. Unique comb applicator defines and volumizes for the ultimate intense effect. Use before mascara as a base coat, after mascara to set, or by itself for a natural tinted look.
How To-ApplyFor a volumized effect, apply before your favourite mascara. For a natural effect, use solo as a lash tint. To separate & set, apply after mascara.

Black Lacquer Lash Primer comes in a cardboard packaging without quite a lot of details written over it like ingredients, functions etc. The actual tube is in a gorgeous lime green color and contains 5.5 ml of product. The wand is flat and slightly curved. It has combs on each side. Photo will make more sense. :)
Cruelty-Free Status:
Pixi Beauty is a cruelty-free brand.
My Experience:
I have never used a lash primer before because I never found a need to do so, plus I do not have enough time to add an extra step to my routine so I choose a good mascara that is at least water/sweat resistant. When I received this lash primer, I immediately tried it because it wasn't just supposed to be a lash primer. As mentioned earlier, it can also be used to naturally tint the lashes and also to set your mascara like a sealer.
This product is not waterproof but is highly water-resistant. I will be writing down my experience in all three possibilities with this product down below.
As a natural tint:
I have naturally somewhat long and full lashes and they tend to go in different directions when I don't wear a mascara. I tried this Black Lacquer Lash Primer and I was sold in one use. It gives a very natural look to the lashes but grooms them in perfect look. You will be amazed to see how much lashes you have after just one coat of this baby. =D I love how it keeps everything natural and lightweight while making the lashes look a little prominent and well groomed. I LOVE THIS FEATURE!!
As a lash primer:
In this post, I am including the before and after shots of using this primer underneath a mascara. I personally could not see a huge difference and that might be because it did not work for me in that regard. I did see my mascara go a little darker on my lashes but that is it.
As a mascara setter:
This feature is for all the people who have mistakenly invested in a crumbly and crappy mascara. >.< With my everyday good mascaras, I could not find a difference in the wear time etc but when I wore this primer over a mascara that crumbles during the day or that fades away with heat and sweat, I saw a huge difference. So yes it works if you are facing the above scenario. It also helps to de-clump the lashes because of the design of the comb.
Overall Black Lacquer Lash Primer is a great 3-in-1 product to have on hand but do you absolutely need it? In my opinion, no. But is it a product that can be a great addition to your collection? Oh yes! This is by far the only product that I have tried for my lashes that does not give a mascara look but grooms the lashes beautifully.
The formula, quality and features are worth $15 and I love the ease of using the wand.
