Wouldn't purchase again

I'll see the tube through because I paid for it but I will not buy again.

I think it looks really beautiful when it goes on. Long individual lashes look. But because it doesn't really harden at all it smears easily if you rub your eye or something. It's also really difficult to get off. Like it pulls and smears.

I had the Ilia mascara before this. I love that it hardened and came off so easily with water. Wasn't overly impressed with the look of it on eyes but it was more buildible than this one. Unfortunately though the Ilia one really irritated my eyes. This mascara doesn't irritate me at all however and I have super sensitive eyes.

It is a light mascara. Because of smear factor in particular though and difficulty of taking off I don't love it.

I’ve had better

Yes the packaging and brush applicator has a great curve YET I’ve had better, it comes on too thick and doesn’t wash off easily causing me grey residue after a shower. For a dirty option the cover girl orange tube, clean version LOVE the Ilia mascara especially since they changed from metallic to while mat packaging.

Hoping for a 2.0 version

I’m so glad that Kosas has come out with a mascara but it could use a little work. The brush broke off the wand on the first one I ordered. They sent a replacement but I’m still not sure about the brush. It’s very globby when it comes out of the tube. I either have to wipe the globs off the brush or off my eyelashes. That said, once it’s on, it looks fabulous and has good staying power. Typically I avoid black mascaras in favor of brown but this one looks natural even on my blonde lashes.

Not for me

I wanted to love the big clean... but it feel short or my expectations. Not much volume, lashes stick together. The worst part is I get black residue under my eyes during the day but I can’t get the mascara to come off. Even after removing with eye makeup up remover & an oil remover :( typically I have to wash again in the morning and use eye make up remover to get clean lashes again. Won’t be purchasing again

Trying this out since there

Trying this out since there was so much rave about it. I do like the mascara more than other ones I have tried in the past. It does add volume with 1-2 applications. Though it does get clumpy in some areas. But hoping in time it will strengthen my lashes and show similar results as shown on the product page. I will continue to give this a try.
