Hi everyone! Exciting review today, a product that is not even out yet! As the title suggests, today's review will be on the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara! I was sent this mascara from Urban Decay when they were doing a small giveaway for people to try it out. I was lucky enough to receive one and let me tell you I am so happy I got one! This mascara doesn't come out until July 13, 2014, but I figured I would give my thoughts on it if you were considering purchasing this mascara. It will retail for $22 and you can buy it on the Urban Decay website July 13th. I am unsure when you may purchase this in store at this time.
As always, lets see the product in action before we just into the review!
With 2 coats of mascara
According to the packaging, the product is described as:
"Get sexed up in one stroke. So intense, you might need a safe word. Perversion Mascara glides on and gets you sexy in one stroke, yet it won't quit until you say when. Like a second skin, our ultra-creamy, volumizing formula coats each lash with triple-black pigments and a deeply nourishing ingredient blend. The twisted trim on our big brush separates and defines as it lays down a generous amount of mascara-for bigger, blacker, badder lashes."Do I think this mascara works with just one stroke? Definitely not, I don't think any mascara can do that.
Do I believe this mascara is ultra-creamy? Most definitely
Do I believe this mascara is volumizing? Oh yes!
Do I believe this mascara is pigmented? Yes!
Do I believe it separates and defines? Yes! (As long as you don't use to much, as with all mascaras)
According to the Urban Decay website, the product is described with stronger claims:
"Get bigger, blacker, badder lashes with our ultra-creamy, lengthening and volumizing mascara. Includes a deluxe sample of Subversion Lash Primer! So intense you might need a safe word, Perversion glides on and gets you sexy in one stroke. (Yet it won’t quit until you say when.) It’s insane how black it is…the purest, deepest, most intense black color imaginable.
Perversion has a creamy, full-bodied texture that’s not too dry, not too wet. This allows just the right amount of “pull” so it glides through lashes. The result: incredible control for insane lashes. Go ahead and pile on coat after coat. Want to apply more before you go out at night? No problem. Even if it’s been all day since you applied, more Perversion always means more beautiful lashes. Our formula NEVER gets brittle or clumpy.
Perversion Mascara contains Hairdensyl, a complex blend of proteins and amino acids—including marine glycogen, known to stimulate lash growth. Honey extract provides deep nourishment, sea idrolized elastine stimulates the hair follicle, and marine collagen protects.So you can see, quite a lot more claims than what I saw in the package they sent me. the only big claim they make on their website and not the packaging is that it "NEVER gets brittle or clumpy." That is definitely a claim I do not believe in.

The twisted trim on the high-tech, volumizing brush latches on to each lash to separate and define; finally, a volumizing mascara with a clean, clump-free finish. It pulls through lashes smoothly and lays down a generous amount of product. No need to wiggle the wand or maneuver it at all different angles!
If you need to apply in public, you’ll look good holding Perversion. We emblazoned our gorgeous, highly metallized black tube with a big purple “Perversion” and our tagline: “Bigger. Blacker. Badder.”
Some interest facts about the brand and product:
- There are no parabens in this mascara.
- Urban Decay does not test on animals, according to their website!
As for my thoughts on this mascara, I really like it. Trust me when I say I don't like many mascaras, but I do like this one. Most mascaras wear heavily on my upper lashes and somehow starts sticking to my bottom lashes. This mascara doesn't do that! If you use 1 coat, it separates extremely well and provides volume without clumping. It's also extremely opaque and will coat over your lashes as black and not a grey black like some mascaras do. It also applies very smoothly and combs through your lashes very well. Best part about this, it doesn't flake or smear as the day goes on. It isn't waterproof so it has held up phenomenally through the summer heat! However, this mascara is far from perfect. This mascara does not build very well. If you apply a second coat, your lashes will gain more volume, but the clumping will start. Not to mention, the crunchiness starts. I never went past 2 coats, but I imagine these effects will only get worse with more coats. But, all of these effects could be avoided with just 1 coat.
So to summarize:
Pros:
So to summarize:

Until next time...
