I’ve put the Code8 Lash Sophisticate Mascara to the test, and here’s the verdict: it’s a solid option if you’re after natural, defined lashes rather than over-the-top drama. The formula is smooth, doesn’t clump, and layers well without feeling heavy. The brush is on the thinner side, which makes it easy to coat every lash without making a mess—ideal if you like a clean, separated look rather than a thick, voluminous finish. It’s also got some nice conditioning benefits thanks to Vitamins A & E, which is a plus if you wear mascara daily and worry about lash health. That said, it’s not the most dramatic mascara out there—so if you’re after sky-high volume, you might need to layer it up or pair it with a primer. Overall? A refined, buildable mascara that suits a natural or polished look—great for everyday wear but might not be bold enough for those who want serious volume.

I hadn’t heard of this brand before, but I thought I’d give it a try. Let me start off with the packaging, which is so sleek, looks and feels great quality. The brush is perfect and gives length and volume to the lashes. I’ve been using this mascara for over a week now and I’m obsessed!

I have to say this exceeded what I was expecting, the packaging is very simple but elegant. I also liked the weight of it too. The smell isn't the greatest, but it also shows that ingredients weren't perfumed when making it. Which is good for someone like me that reacts to scented things. The application was very easy as it was almost silky and glided on very effectively. I am very impressed with this and will be purchasing more.

This mascara is easy to apply and gives a high volume effect. The brush made it easy to apply with good lash separation. It has a nice dark colour and doesn’t smudge easily. The bottle is heavy, making it feel like a premium product. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would recommend.
