Everyday Makeup

Today I'm talking about the vegan and cruelty-free products that I reach for on a daily basis!  They all come from cruelty-free brands, though their parent companies may not be cruelty-free.  Remember that while all of these individual products are vegan, the brands aren't necessarily and may reformulate at any time!  Always read the ingredients to be 100% sure.

What I have to say about it...

The Good

  • Gives beautiful length; 
  • Contains wholesome ingredients;
  • Doesn't smudge;
  • Very natural-looking (especially with one coat!);
  • Doesn't tend to clumping;
  • Separates the lashes;
  • Leaves the lashes soft;
  • Lightweight and flexible brush;
  • Does not come off in water;
  • Applies easily and the formula is not too wet;
  • Is easily removed with almond oil and aloe vera gel.

The Bad

  • Doesn't volumize;
  • Doesn't hold curl exceptionally well over the course of the day and won't give your lashes a nice curl if you don't use an eyelash curler before and/or after application.

RATING: 4.5/5


Final Thoughts:  This mascara is absolutely wonderful!  I love using it day to day for a natural look, and love not having to worry about smudging or flaking.  The length it gives is beautiful, but I do wish it volumized just a tiny bit more.  It gives a slightly more dramatic look with further coats, but I'm not sure it gives enough punch to be worn alone on my wedding day.  Perhaps combined with individual false lashes it would do the trick!

Would I recommend?  100%!  The only drawback for me is the lack of volume, so if that isn't a concern for you I'd say go for it!
