I love the idea that this is an all natural mascara + has organic ingredients but nothing artifical or chemicals!! This is the tipe of mascara which lengthens the lashes not volumises it (I think Dr. Hauschka doesn't make that kind). When it's time to wash it off it comes off very easy (spares your lashes).

Unfortunately I couldn't change my 4 star recommendation to 2...and this is a follow up on my previous review.
When I'd been using this mascara for about 2 weeks I noticed that it started to flake except for some reason the flakes ended up in my eyes, not on my cheek or under my eyes. First I didn't know it was the mascara..I thought something went into my eyes but every single time I applied, it happened. Not straight away..but in about 2-3 hours later..This was very frustrating...I tried to put less of this product on my lashes but then I looked like I had nothing on. At this point I still had some flaking, not as bad as before, but it was still enough to hurt my eyes..so I just stopped using this product all together.
The only reason why I'd give 2 stars for this product instead of 1 because it's natural and organic...and I appriciate that fact. But that's about it.
I really wanted to like this product so I am very disappointed, it wasn't cheap either. Dr. Hauschka need to improve the quality of this product.

I like that this mascara is natural--it also washes off easily--too easily. Unless I plan to wear it for a very short period of time, it gives me "raccoon eyes."

I have been using this mascara, and other Dr. Hauschka skin products for four years now. Despite the high price, they are excellent products.

Many reviewers have commented regarding flaking, smudging, etc. with this product. You need to know what you are buying. Natural makeups are not harsh, not full of chemicals, and hypoallergenic. Hence, they are not going to have the waterproof, stay on forever, super volumizing characteristics of traditional mascaras. Some things must be sacrificed in order to remain natural and chemical-free.

Regarding Flaking: I only experience flaking on the second day. Meaning, if I put it on in the morning, wear it all day, sleep with it on, and wake up the next day, it will begin some slight flaking that second day. You can solve this problem by washing it off daily.

Regarding Smudging: This is not waterproof mascara. If you cry, swim, etc., it will run or smudge. I have not found it to have any excessive smudging without this type of exposure, or rubbing your eyes a lot. Even when I've rubbed my eyes a ton, or cried to the point where the mascara gets in my eyes, it does not irritate my eyes like traditional non-organic mascara does.

Also, the bottle lasts a LONG time.

I have medium-colored olive skin and dark brown hair, and I use the brown mascara. It is a very dark brown, and I feel it looks more natural than solid black.

Prior to using Dr. Hauschka mascara and other products, I was experiencing rashes on my eyelids and lips from traditional makeups. Even expensive brands like Origin or Clinique still caused me an allergic rash that would not go away for weeks. Turns out I am allergic to petroleum products, which are the base in any makeup or skincare product that is not organic. I tried Dr. Hauschka mascara after five or six expensive natural mascara bottles that still left me with rashes. If you have sensitive skin, this is certainly the right product! I have purchased nothing but Dr. Hauschka since discovering how soothing it was to my otherwise highly sensitive skin, eyes, and lips.

Ihave been enjoying this mascara product for months now. It never irritates my eyes, very low-clumping & goes on nice & smooth.

As I have seen other buyer reviews say, I was very excited to try this natural mascara. I did not experience lengthening of lashes, but volume. I have short black lashes and it made them appear thicker. It is very comfortable, I have allergies and contacts and very itchy, sensitive eyes. The first 2 days I was thrilled with it. I soon discovered that by midday the mascara ended up in smudges and little black pools under my eyes. I am disappointed that it ended this way, but I can only assume that those nasty chemicals in other mascaras are there partly to keep it ON your lashes, not UNDER them. I won't buy again.

I love this mascara. I've been using it for almost 2 years now, and it's the only stuff that actually goes on perfectly clump-free the first time, every time; and comes off very easily when it's time to go to bed.

My only complaint is that the brush comes loose from the cap after a time, and it wiggles around in the cap, making it hard to apply with control. It's happened with both mascaras I've bought. Perhaps it's something I'm doing to the product (being to rough with it, etc), as no one else seems to have had this problem. I would recommend this mascara, but maybe be careful when pulling the brush from the tube.

C'est La Vie.

I've been using the same tube for over a year. I just add a little purified water and it comes to life again. Easy wash off, no eye irritation, great mascara.

I love this mascara! I have been searching for organic/natural products, and I have tried other organic mascaras. I have had allergic reactions to the other mascaras due to their ingredients, especially the algae related ingredients. Plus, the other organic mascaras that I have tried do not have any hold or provide definition to the lashes. Dr. Hauschka's mascara has soft hold that lasts all day. It is a bit pricey, which is the only negative thing about the product.

I only wore it once and I wound up with dark circles under my eyes within an hour! I looked horrible. This stuff just won't stay on. They should discontinue it :(

I like Dr. Hauschka's other products, but the minute I put this mascara on, it flaked into my eyes and was quite irritating. It continued to flake into my eyes and onto my face throughout the night. Too bad -- it was expensive!
