Vegan Zero Waste Black Mascara

I like using this mascara and love that it came in eco-friendly packaging with a reusable and eco-friendly brush. The mascara itself is light weight and doesn’t seem to smudge too much. Sometimes it can be a little chunky but that might be user error as I learn to roll it on the brush. I do wonder if it will get too difficult to roll the brush in it once the top layers have been used, since the container is more of a puck than a tube (you can’t “dip” the brush in like other mascaras). But I am willing to keep using it and figure it out when it comes to that. Overall, if you’re looking for sustainable make-up and don’t mind trying something a little unconventional, I’d recommend this product.

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
