Catrice Cosmetics Glam & Doll Volume Mascara Set 01, three mascaras in black and brown

Choosing one mascara keeps a make-up bag simple, this Catrice Cosmetics set is aimed at anyone who wants more than one finish to hand. It contains three Glam & Doll mascaras: waterproof versions in black and brown, plus a classic black formula. That gives you a choice between colour and water resistance without buying each option separately.

The set focuses on volume and lash definition, with elastomer brushes described as separating lashes without clumping. It is a practical format for switching between a more understated brown look and black, or choosing a waterproof formula when that matters.

Getting the most from it

Use the brown waterproof mascara when you want a less stark colour, or choose one of the black options for a darker finish. The set also includes a classic black mascara, so you are not limited to waterproof formulas for every look. For a daytime routine, the different shades make it easier to vary the result, for an occasion where water resistance is important, the waterproof versions provide that alternative.

The elastomer brush is intended to add volume while defining lashes, rather than simply laying on a heavy coat. Apply with a light hand if definition is your priority, then build the look with further application if you want more emphasis. The product details do not specify how the mascaras perform on different lash types, so the finish may vary depending on how you use it.

Where it shines

The useful distinction here is variety within one set. Someone who normally buys a single black mascara gets two waterproof colour choices as well as a classic black option. That makes the pack more adaptable than choosing one formula alone, particularly if you alternate between everyday make-up and occasions where water resistance is useful.

It suits you if you want volume-focused mascara and expect to use both black and brown. The set may also work well as a shared make-up-bag choice where different looks are welcome, though the listed contents are all mascaras rather than a broader make-up collection. The brand states that its products are not tested on animals and that cosnova is accredited by PETA Germany and PETA, this is a brand-provided claim, not a performance feature.

The essentials

• Brand: Catrice Cosmetics
• Range: Glam & Doll Volume Mascara
• Set contents: Three mascaras — waterproof black and brown, plus classic black
• Product form: Liquid
• Main benefit: Volumising, with an elastomer brush for definition
• Container: Tube

The listing gives the set as three items, but does not break down the individual volumes. It also does not provide wear-time figures, so the long-lasting description should not be read as a specific number of hours. It may not suit you if you only want one mascara shade or would not use the additional formulas, a single product may be a more straightforward purchase in that case.

Before you decide

Which colours are included? The set contains black and brown waterproof mascaras, along with a classic black mascara.

Are all three mascaras waterproof? No. The product information identifies two as waterproof and describes the remaining black mascara as the classic option.

What effect is the brush designed to give? The elastomer brush is described as adding volume and definition while coating lashes without clumps. No specific result is guaranteed for every lash type.

When it makes sense

Choose this set if having both waterproof and classic mascara options, including a brown shade, is more useful than sticking to one formula. It is a considered choice for a routine that changes between softer brown definition and black volume. If you already know you only wear one colour and one type of formula, buying a single mascara avoids paying for options you are unlikely to use.
