Sure, the concept is a little strange at first: visible strands come off your eyes and litter your sink in a strange display. Yet, the promise of ease of removal, the staying power, and the lack of smudging should convince you to give it a whirl. I have *lived* in this mascara, enduring trips to the beach, impromptu naps, and the occasional crying jag, and the mascara has never let me down (which is more than I can say about the hereby unnamed source of my last crying jag).

I had high hopes for this mascara but was a bit disappointed. It goes on well. The effect both thickened and lengthened with only a sigle coat. It wasn't gloppy. I was pleased upon application but as I wore it throughout the day, my eyes began to feel scratchy and irritated. I wear contacts, and no amount of eye rewetting drops or rinses to my lenses relieved this irritation. I did not see tubules in my eye area, thinking the tubes might be slipping off into my eyes and irritating them, but none were visibly present. It washed off in the shower later that evening and I didn't wear it for a week after that. Then, a week later, to give it a fair shot, I tried again. I went on well as before. I'm careful as always not to get any in my eyes, et cetera. But lo and behold, a number of hours later, there began the subtle scratchiness that would progress into irritation. Keep in mind I wasn't doing anything on either day I wore this mascara that might have contributed to this irritation. I didn't attend the gym on those days, sweat alot, use a sauna, walk in the rain, rub my eyes (I'd never do that anyway)or anything else that might have caused irritation. The second time I wore it in fact, I had a new set of contacts in... Well, one caveat; I found I can wear it successfully sans contact lenses (glasses instead). But that means I rarely, rarely wear it and it was a waste of money for me. In short, I recommend it IF you don't wear contact lenses.

I love this mascara! I have been trying a different mascara every 3 months for nearly 2 years but my search is finally over! This mascara stays on all day without migrating under my eyes and then washes COMPLETELY off with soap and warm water every night. Plus, the little wand is great because it is small enough to grab every single lash.

I've tried all kinds of mascara....loreal, revlon, maybelline, lancome, estee lauder, clinique, bare escentuals, blah blah blah...most of them either uncurls my lashes, irritates my eyes, flakes/clumps, raccoon eyes by mid afternoon, or just eh....

A girlfriend of mine introduced me to this - she has LUSH long lashes...had to ask her...

At the first try, my lashes looked longer but not fuller...ugh...told my GF and she said that I had to try to reapply BEFORE the stuff gets dry (it gets dry fast)...
2nd day - poked my eye (i'm not an avid cosmetics wearer) - was slightly irritated
3rd day - full long lashes
4th day - feel like a pro

I do not curl my lashes BEFORE I apply the mascara. This is what I do: Apply the mascara, wait 10 seconds, apply again (repeat until I get the result I want). Wait till the mascara is dried, and curl (the instructions say not to, but I need it to keep my stick straight lashes from looking stick straight). I use my blow dryer to heat up my curler before curling my lashes. I'm Asian, with short lashes that want to stay straight so I can use all the extra help I can. Repeat this process to get the curl I want. I have a heated curler that I keep in my purse for touch ups during the day (so far not needed).

What else do I love about this - NO RACCOON EYES, EVER!! All it takes to wash off, is some warm water in the shower, and a gentle rub and they will be gone. You get little strings/tubes (they're not your lashes, just the mascara casing). When I go to bed with this on, it still looks good the next day, until I shower, and wash it off.

NO IRRITATION! Generally, I can't wear mascara on back to back days or my eyes will be irritated. I give them a few days between - I've been using mascara for 4 days straight now, no irritation, no twitch, no nothing. Even when I wash it off, my eyes aren't bloodshot or itchy.

Other good info:
PUT THIS ON FIRST! Before you lay on foundation or anything else. B/c if your lashes have anything on them, this will not hold as well.
Be patient with this product, some people hate it, but if you stick it out for a few days, you'll get the hang of this.
Don't pump your mascara, gently twirl the wand, otherwise you'll end up with too much product and it'll cause clumping on your lashes.
If you find your lashes are sticking together, use the ends of a bobby pin to separate - or wait until it's dried to use a lash comb.
DO NOT put more masacara on once it's dried - that will cause clumping - invest in the heated eye lash curler, if you warm your lashes up, you can do add a thin coat, or curl again.

Update:
It's been 2 months and I've been religiously (almost) using it every day since I received the product. I went through my first tube fast - mostly b/c I kept "pumping" my want - out of habit, and it created clumping. I've noticed that my lashes have grown!!! They're longer and they're thicker. Not sure if it's using the product or just the daily stimulation of curling and using the product. This is the fullest I've ever seen my lashes. LOVING THIS PRODUCT more and more each day.

This mascara is well worth the money. I have not worn mascara for the past 20 years due to "raccoon eyes" by the end of the afternoon. But Hallelujah!! Someone finally got it right! This mascara does not smudge, flake or smear. I have very watery eyes and always end up with the mascara off my lashes in a matter of hours. Not this stuff. By the end of a long day, all my other makeup my have worn off, but I still have nice lashes. It stays on till you soak it with lots of H2O and rub or pull the tubes off. It is a little strange in the beginning, because you think you are pulling huge clumps of your lashes out of your lid, but then underneath are your own soft undamaged lashes. BRAVO!!!

This stuff is great. I went to bed with it on, and I didn't wake up with a hint of it under my eyes.

I received a sample of this mascara with another purchase. Upon using it, I was really impressed by its ability to separate, lengthen, and define my lashes. It literally felt different from any other brand I have ever tried (and I have tried them all!). I thought - sure - it looks great now, but what will it be like at the end of the day? Sure enough, it looked THE SAME when I got home from work. There were NO flakes or smudging. It was beautiful! No mascara I have ever used lives up to this. The really interesting part was removing it. I took a shower, and the steam from the hot water started to loosen the mascara. It still did not come off without actually taking a cloth and wiping it. When I did, it literally came off in lash form! For a second I thought my eyelashes had come off!! But of course that was not the case.

I could not be happier with this product. I highly recommend it!!!!

I was pretty skeptical when the salesperson at Sephora described how this mascara works, but it looked good on, so I bought it. Seriously, it's the weirdest technology. No clumps, no streaks, and it takes warm water AND a brush of your finger across your lids to remove -- I kid you not -- "tubes" of mascara from your lashes. No streaks. I'm so glad I bought this mascara -- I'm not thinking twice about the mascara I'll be wearing to my wedding.

I love BLINC KISS ME MASCARA. I have spent the last 27 years (since I was allowed to wear make up) looking for a mascara that doesn't end out giving me raccoon eyes. I was told I have "oily" eyelashes (whatever THAT is!) and that I would always have to reapply my mascara through out the day. I was always checking in the mirror so I could clean up the smudges. With Blinc Kiss Me Mascara, I found the "miracle" I've been searching for! My make up looks exactly the same at 9PM as it does when I apply it at 7AM. No smudges, no raccoon eyes, no reapply and rechecking in the mirror. It's a great product! Just be aware that it's a little strange when you go to take it off. I comes off in tubes and it looks like you're losing your eye lashes. Just rest assured that your eye lashes are still intact and that this product is completely different than any other mascara. I just don't understand how this product has not take off like crazy!
