Vegan Zero Waste Black Mascara

I think I can make this mascara work, but it does not go on very thick or make very dark lashes. I am blonde, so my lashes are very light and this mascara will give me enough color for everyday wear. I read other reviews that the mascara comes off and leaves a dark circle around the eyes but that is not my experience - mine is the opposite, that it is hard to get enough on. I do feel great about not having a plastic container with a small amount of product in it. This cardboard container is great and I think it will last a long time. It didn't come with any directions - it might be helpful to know if there's a trick to putting it on to get thicker lashes.

I love that it is biodegradiable

I love the idea of a no-waste mascara but I find it difficult to apply, the clay-like consistency is too hard (unless I'm missing a step? Am I supposed to wet it before applying?) I also wish there was more information with the packaging, like how-to-apply directions and bristle cleaning instructions would be great.

Wish it was easier to apply. I want to love it but it’s not super user friendly. Going to try to add some olive oil to it to make it easier to apply

Hard to use, bad design, smudges
