Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Perfuming, Skin Conditioning

Paraffin is a solid created from petroleum. The term 'paraffin' can also refer to either petroleum jelly or mineral oil.

It has natural occlusive properties which can worsen oily skin. Due to its petrolatum base, this ingredient is not fungal-acne safe.

We don't have a description for Vp/Eicosene Copolymer yet.

Emulsion Stabilising

Synthetic beeswax is created to be identical in structure to beeswax. It possesses the same occlusive and emulsion properties.

A blend of fatty acid esters, fatty acids, and alcohols are used to create synthetic beeswax. Whether or not this ingredient is vegan depends on the source. Sometimes, lanolin is used for its creation.

This ingredient may not be Malassezia folliculitis, or fungal-acne safe.

Cosmetic Colorant

Ci 77499 is also hydrated iron III oxide. It is created from mixing red and black iron oxides. This helps give shades of darkness to a product.

Iron III oxides are classified as inorganic chemicals for coloring.

Tried it several times and it just doesn’t work for me. I have read so many recommendations on vogue etc. but at this point I do believe that they paid them out. In no way does this mascara holds it promise. The application and brush is ok, but it clumps and crumbs. And once you think you finally managed to apply it properly because you put on one layer… it starts to smudge right under your eye Show 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 Show more
