“I naturally have pretty long and thick lashes, and other mascaras have always looked gross and clumpy. I actually stopped wearing mascara for a while- until THIS. this mascara actually lengthened and darkened my lashes without”
Lightweight Mascara
“At first I thought this product would be a cheap and not heavy, but its actually very lightweight. With my eyelash time, curling them isnt needed which made me very shocked and happy”
Natural Look Mascara
“Very light weight mascara that provides a more natural look. Love that the brush is curled as it adds a lot more length and curl to the natural lash”
Small Brush Mascara
“Sure it will clump if you try to put too much on in one shot, but if you layer it on the results are amazing. The brush is small, so you have more control near the base of the lash line”
Liquid Mascara
“As a side note I noticed this has wax way down on the ingredient list, unlike most mascaras that have it at the top. This could be why it doesnt irritate my eyes”
White Mascara
“It saves you from having to do multiple coats of mascara and spreads the lashes out nicely. The colour is nice, as opposed to white primers that sometimes more work to cover well”
Eyelash Mascara
“I received this mascara for free and am really enjoying it. I love how the mascara wand coats every eyelash separately”

Sensitive Skin Mascara
“i really wanted to love this product as i have super straight asian lashes and also sensitive skin (eczema) , however the first time i applied it, it weighed my lashes down a lot (yes i am aware mascara's supposed to do that) but it was just really heavy. it was also clumping on my lashes a bit and takes a while to dry. i wore it for about 8 hours and by the time i removed it i got an allergic reaction on my eye,,, this mascara is def not for me but it holds up super well”
