Our silky, lash-defining mascara is totally weightless yet provides all day color. The smooth light-as-a-feather base boasts zero clumping due to the absence of clay in the superior lash-conditioning formula. Bat your eyes and flutter your lashes without flaking and smudging. Perhaps best of all is that this botanically-enriched mascara is paraben free. Water-resistant, work-out proof. Not water-proof. (Available in Black Magic, Chocolate Truffle, and Espresso.)

I find the mixture a bit goopy, and it tends to smear easy, but it looks fine, washes off easily and doesn't irritate my eyes as other products have...." "...I love it so far. It doesn't flake off at all during the day, doesn't clump and doesn't smudge easily(even though its not waterproof). it comes off easily with makeup remover(no scrubbing required) and definitely adds length and thickness to my lashes and a very nice black color...." "...not at all waterproof or rub-proof. It does, however, have a nice texture - it's not as goopy/sticky as regular mascara and it doesn't have as many clumps...." "...no ewwie smell and it doesn't irritate my eyes, which is wonderful. There is no racoon eyes at the end of the day either and its easy peezy to remove at night. Overall, it's my mascara of choice...." --Actual user comments from Amazon.com User Reviews section "...I was pleasantly surprised with this mascara. The quality is very good, comparable to the popular name brand products. It gives nice thick lashes without going overboard...." --Actual user comment from EWG User Reviews section Average Price: $11 (+ shipping) Where to Buy: www.amazon.com www.buy.com Our Final Assessment:
