Makeup By Kim: Review: Blinc Mascara

Hello beauties!

This review is going to be on the Blinc Mascara I have been trying it out for the past week and I wanted to share with you guys what I thought!

First, let me begin by telling you guys what I look for in a mascara. I want something that is going to give me volume and length. My lashes are a bit sparse, but unlike other Asian eye lashes that I have seen, they are not stick straight and they hold a curl pretty well. I do not like watery, goopey mascara formulas because that will take the curl right out of my lashes. I like a drier formula to make the curl last; that also helps so that my mascara does not run or flake.

Now let's take a look at what Blinc claims this mascara will and will not do:

What it does:
Blinc Mascara is the original tube-technology mascara. It's invented to form tiny water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes for maximum amplification and hold, rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, the tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.

What else you need to know:
This mascara adds both volume and length, to give you a radiant natural look that lasts all day. Neither water nor pressure alone will remove Blinc Mascara. Only the combination of lots of warm water and gentle pressure (no need for harsh makeup removers) will slide the tiny tubes effortlessly off your lashes into your hand. Upon removal, you will actually see the tiny tubes slide into your hand.

Okay, so, on to the review. I like this mascara, but I was hoping to fall in love with it considering all the hype it's getting. Even some of my girlfriends have told me how much they love this mascara. I find that the Blinc Mascara is nice if you want natural-looking lashes. It adds a little length and a little volume. I also noticed that it dries very fast. When I went in to put on a second coat, it felt like there was a lot of tension created between the brush and my lashes- it didn't run through my lashes smoothly, so I would recommend going in with a second coat BEFORE the first coat fully dries. The mascara did not smudge on me at all, no matter how long I had it on for. Really, the only way to get this mascara off is with warm water and a little pressure from your fingers. It's actually pretty cool seeing the little tubes coming off your lashes. I also noticed I did not have any lash fallout, which is great!

Overall, I like this product for daytime use and would recommend it to anyone looking for a mascara that will give natural-looking lashes. I probably will not be repurchasing this mascara, however, because I know there are mascaras out there that will give me natural lashes with one coat and I can get more dramatic results if I put more coats of it on. This is for natural-looking lashes, period.
