Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

The term "Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil" is an umbrella term and can refer to a variety of vegetable oils and blends of: sunflower oil, soybean oil, olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, and more.

horrible for me, but good for others
my low rating only reflects how horrible this product was for me, because this mascara works amazing on some people. for me, this mascara unfortunately flaked and smudged right after i put it on. however, on others, it works amazingly well. since this product is so cheap, i recommend buying it and seeing if it works for you. if it doesn’t work out, you won’t feel like you wasted your money since it’s only like $4.

smudges and flakes INSTANTLY on me
unfortunately, my experience with this mascara has been very similar to my experience with Essence Lash Princess. i’m not even applying to my lower lashes, and i wipe off any excess product with a tissue, yet this flakes & smudges the second i blink. however, i’m going to keep it for a couple months to see if it becomes usable when it’s drier. this was disappointing for me, since i usually get good results from Rimmel products despite the extremely low price point.
