Blinc UltraVolume Tubing Mascara – Dramatic Volume & Length, Curling, Longwear, Smudge & Flake Proof, Conditioning Jojoba, Sensitive Eyes Safe, Vegan

Oh my gosh, get it NOW!!! It's stunning, flawless. It stays on throughout the day, even if it gets wet. In order for it to come off after getting wet, you have to manually pull it off with a cloth or your clean fingers. AND when you DO pull it off, it comes off in these tube, string looking things. This mascara does NOT smudge at ALL, EVER. I reccommend the amplified over the original if you want your lashes to look thicker, but not clumpy. The original is I think a bit lighter and maybe runnier so it covers eye individual lash lightly, but you can still layer it. The amplified is not too much and not too little. I'm dirty blonde and I prefer the black, but if my hair was lighter (honey blonde, strawberry blonde, light blonde, or red headed) I would go for the brown if I wanted to look very natural. but like I said, this isn't too thick and it paints each individual eyelash without clumping, so even the black would probably look natural on you unless you have light blonde hair. The best part is it tubes around to the top, so those of us with light colored lashes no longer have to worry about that ugly two shaded lash look where its dark on the bottom and light on the top. Its just AMAZING stuff and I can't reccomend it enough. It lasts me a year, though I left one bottle in my hot car for too long and it dried. So definitely keep it out of the heat for long periods of time.

Tired of using any special make up removers at the end of a 12 hour work day? Start with changing your mascara to Blinc. This is the EASIEST mascara to remove. I have unfortunately long and straight thick based eyelashes that quickly taper to a long barely visible point. All other mascaras I have tried, which have been MANY, tend to clump, apply unevenly, weigh down the artificial curling from my eyelash curler, or won't last beyond 2-4 hours without "shedding." When I find one that does survive these factors, it requires an unholy concoction of chemicals to remove (with a few eyelashes). Not Blinc. Things to know: *A fresh bottle lasts me nearly 8-10 months of 4-5 days per week use before it gets that sticky feeling at the end of my lashes. *It is NOT particularly thickening. While it helps with my thin ends due to having long lashes, it does not make them anymore thick than other mascaras. I do not use mascaras marketed for volumizing, so take that for what you will. *The applicator is this partly sinusoidal shape which doesn't do much to help with actually applying over other shapes. However, the applicator is wide enough with fronds long enough to get down to my bases without overapplying to my ends when multiple passes are needed--a huge plus. *If you have long eyelashes, apply quickly and with multiple coats so you get adequate tubing. If you stop part way and then restart later it could get sticky, clumpy, or apply strangely, even on a fresh bottle. *If you get it on anywhere you don't want, it's totally fine. Let it dry and then you can scratch it or push it off very easily with tweezers or a fingernail. It won't leave any black smudges! I have used this mascara for the past 3 years and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. It might not be for everyone but it's perfect even for those who have 5-8 minutes to put a full face of make up on in the morning.

*This is a review of what was shipped to me, NOT of the product itself* I've been using this mascara since it was first called Kiss Me and imported from Japan, so for over 15 years. It's the only mascara I use. I certainly know all of the versions/packaging/appearances that have come out over the years. The CURRENT version should be a tube that is sealed full length with the perforations to peel and open. This sealed tube arrives inside a screw top aluminum cylinder. What I received was an unsealed tube in a small, worn, bent up cardboard box instead of the aluminum tube. Blinc has not distributed the mascara in the box in YEARS. For a second I thought maybe they were going back to the box, but I inspected the mascara itself (unsealed) and I believe not only was it old but that it had been used. The formula smelled funny and was watery. Back to Amazon it goes. I included a note in the packaging about this so it doesn't get thrown on a shelf and mailed out to someone else. I can't imagine where this old tube was hiding for them to pull it out, but the appearance alone of cruddy packaging should have been noticed before it was shipped out. As far as the REAL mascara goes... still love it. I'm not one to try and build up tarantula legs on my face, not sure this product will do that, but I have medium-long natural lashes and a couple quick swipes does the job. I don't have to touch my eyes for the rest of the day, removing it is as cinchy as they claim, and no racoon eyes or dusty little bits flaking off. From now on I'm going to go back and purchase from Blinc's own site. If someone not familiar with the product had received what I did they would have thought it was garbage, and rightly so. Additionally there is a high risk of infection when using old eye makeup. I'll wait the extra shipping time to be sure I get what I am paying for.

You just can't do better for mascara. NEVER runs, easy to get off when you want it off but not before.

I absolutely LOVE this mascara. I love everything about this mascara. It is definitely a staple product in my make up bag. It surrounds your eyelash with a tube of mascara. Goes on great and washes off by splashing water and gently rubbing your lashes...Voila! And down the drain it goes. No mess, no need to use a makeup remover. Its not water proof mascara. Give it a try! Love, love, love

Durable, smudge-proof mascara that lengthens l lashes that get lots of compliments! I wear contact lenses and tend to rub my eyes quite often so I needed a mascara that was smudge proof and showerproof. I never have mascara residue under my eyes now. It’s so easy to remove and never leaves that black smudge under your eyes because it’s tubed. So no need for excessive eye makeup creams and removal. Simply wash face thoroughly in warm water and the black tubes slide off. Packaging is simple and effective. Brush is easy to hold and comfortable to apply. Pros - Strong black colour - Lasts all day - Doesn’t smudge - Shower proof - 4 months plus use Cons - Flakes when near expiry but that’s how you know you need to replace it. For the price it’s well worth it given how much you save on eye make up remover products. I’ve worn this mascara for years and would never go back to mascara that isn’t tubed.

Pessimo

This product is amazing. I am 44 and I have never been able to wear mascara as I always get smudgy under eyes after an hour or two. No matter what product I have tried it has always led to the same result. But with this tube mascara it really does exactly what it is supposed too. I can wear it all day, even to the gym with no smudges - at most I might get a little flake of the product if I have rubbed my eye - but that just dusts off. I have also purchased the primer and that makes my lashes appear much longer than using the product alone. I do find that in application it can have a tendency to clump lashes together but im sure this is as much down to my technique - and I can fix it using an old clean wand - so long as im quick. I have also noticed that I have seem to manage to get it on my lids and under eye during application - but give it a few seconds to dry and it just comes off easily with a dry cotton bud. I am now a mascara wearer - even on my lower lashes - and its great!
