What it is:The famous pioneering, tube-technology water-resistant mascara.What it does:Blinc Mascara is the original tube-technology mascara. It's invented to form tiny water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes for maximum amplification and hold, rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, the tubes bind to your lashes and don't run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.What else you need to know:This mascara adds both volume and length, to give you a radiant natural look that lasts all day. Neither water nor pressure alone will remove Blinc Mascara. Only the combination of lots of warm water and gentle pressure (no need for harsh makeup removers) will slide the tiny tubes effortlessly off your lashes into your hand. Upon removal, you will actually see the tiny tubes slide into your hand.Among the nominees in the 2008 Best of Sephora, Blinc Mascara has been clinically tested to be non-irritating, making it ideal for sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers, and active people in search of a mascara whose look, hold, and ease of removal is without compromise.

I have sensitive eyes that water all day due to allergies (even with drops/allergy meds). This stuff did not irritate my eyes nor did it run due to watery eyes.

This is not your basic waterproof. Actually it is not waterproof at all. When I cried, it went all over my face....little pieces of it. And once, I was stuck in a downpour, and my face was a mess with this stuff. I love it for just everyday though.

Try this. This mascara is the best I've ever worn. The formula creates tubes over your real lash to make them look longer and thicker. It will not rub off. The only way to remove the product is with soap, water and slight pressure. I have not had any issues with sensitivity with blinc.

Try Blinc mascara. It makes fabric tubes around your lashes. It's not liquid, and it doesn't harden or run. It's pretty godd at lengthening, less volumizing. It comes off like little threads when you wash your face. I have sensitive skin/eyes and am a contact lens wearer-I never have problems with this.

You'll have good luck with this. It doesn't creep into eyes through the day. The product stays on your lashes where you put it, until you take it off in the evening. If you rub your eyes a lot or sleep with it on, you may notice a little flaking, but that would be the most of your troubles. I recommend giving it a try; it's the only mascara I use because I know it won't budge.

answer 1

I originally used Fiberwig (for maybe 3 years), which is amazing at lengthening but definitely lacks in the volumizing department, until I was blown away by switching to Blinc last year. If I had to choose between them, I'd have to go with Blinc. I think it clumps a little more easily and takes longer to get length, but it's far better with volume. When I have the time, I try lengthening with Fiberwig first and adding Blinc on top after.

Can you use makeup remover with this?

The write-up on Sephora says in a couple of places that you should not use makeup remover with this product; however, I generally need a makeup remover to get all of my eyeliner off cleanly. If I do use a makeup remover (Bosica's makeup-breakup) will that cause problems with removing the mascara?

Using an eye make-up remover is not going to affect the removal of this mascara -- it will still come off using water and pressure. The remover will NOT remove the mascara, though. I would recommend removing the mascara with water and pressure first and THEN using the make-up remover to remove everything else; I at least find it easier to see that I've cleanly removed ALL of my liner and other eye make-up this way.

I tried removing this mascara with a makeup remover a few times and found that it did not do much. I might take off some of it, but nowhere near all of it. I find the best way to get it off is just with a cloth in the shower. Also, when it comes off, it is in the shape of tubes just like your lashes. It sort of looks like your lashes are coming out, but they are not!

It is not a paint for your lashes, it is like a cover - it covers every your mash in a tiny tube. So your lashes become a bit thicker and a lot longer. Perfect dual effect! Also the difference is that you don't need any mascara remover. Just water and gentle pressure of your fingers. No dark circles under your eyes, no mascara dust!

It's the same product- if you go to their website, it says it's "formerly known as Kiss Me." For some reason, it's still listed as Kiss Me on the Sephora website, but when you get the bottle it doesn't actually say Kiss Me on it (unlike in the product picture), so I guess Sephora just hasn't updated the name or picture on their website.

answer 1

Having used this product, I don't think it will last for days. It's not semi-permanent--it's just formulated differently so that if you rub your eyes, for example, nothing rubs on the skin under your eye. If you shower or wash your face, it will start coming off. It works better to remove entirely and reapply. A 2nd coat is a no-go with this...it simply doesn't do anything.

I have left this on overnight and it irritates my eyes. Mostly because the formula isn't that flexible on the lashes. If you sleep on your back and don't have lashes hitting the pillow, i say go for it.

It's not made as a lash stain like one of Tarte's mascaras. You could probably get away with wearing it for a couple of days, but the mascara comes off with warm water and gentle pressure like the package says.

Speaking from personal experience, Blinc mascara does not smudge or smear unless it is wet and and you accidentally get it on your eyelid.

Hope this helps.

We'll I've slept in it and it looks ok to run to the gym in the morning or a quick trip the grocery store. But unlike other mascaras, it doesn't really respond well to a "touch-up" - it's really best to remove and start fresh - which is really easy.

It does stay on, - I have contacts and have slept in it, and not had any irritation. It does come off with moisture and water, so a little perspiration and brushing your eyes with the pillow, can remove some - seems to come off lashtips first. I just touch up the tips and go - but all it takes is warm water and a quick wipe to remove it!

If you pre-curl your lashes when clean and dry (which you should, always curl before any mascara...never curl them After applying mascara) then YES the curl will be held by this mascara. All day long...until you take the mascara off. It will NOT curl straight lashes on its own. You have to curl with a tool of some sort.

I'd say you're right, although, the tubes on the Blinc mascara are more sturdy, so once it's set, you can't do much with it- it's also a bit of a cleaner look. But with fiberwig I found I can apply more coats and I get a bit more volume- it also doesn't come off quite as easily

Fiberwig is for volume; Kiss Me Mascara is for hold and definition.
That being said, I use a volumizing mascara (Neutrogena Healthy Volume with olive oil is lovely) first, as many coats as I please; THEN put a coat of Kiss Me Mascara over it. I get the "tube-technology" hold with the volume I want.
Granted, it takes a light hand and practice to nail it every singe time; but that is true with any type of makeup style. Because eyelashes grow sporatically as any hair, paying attention to the wear of all my mascara is important to me.

Whenever I swim with it, there's always chunks of it that fall off onto my face.. Also, it gives me baby doll eyes (when I say that, I mean like my lashes clump together and it just looks like I have 3 or 4 big eyelashes, not pretty). To get a good comparison, I tried this mascara one day in the pool and then the waterproof 2000 calorie waterproof mascara by MAX (I think) and it worked better, so I think this is probably just a waste of money if you wanted a waterproof mascara. But, other than that it worked good as regular mascara but the product is also very thin so it's sometimes hard to shape your lashes with it.
