Gabriel Cosmetics Mascara (Black Brown), Natural, Paraben Free, Vegan, Gluten free, Cruelty free, No GMO, Voluminous full lashes, Non flaky, Water resistant, 0.25 Fl Oz

I bought this mascara a couple of months ago and wanted to use it for a while before giving a review. I absolutely love it! I was expecting it to start getting 'gloopy' after a while, but it's the same creamy formula the day I opened it. It does not flake off, smudge off, or come off in general unless I rub my eyes from tiredness at the end of the day and forget I've not taken it off yet! ;-) The mascara goes on smoothly and yes it does dry quickly. I've not found it to be a problem for me, as I tend to get all I want on my lashes with just one application. I start at the bottom of my lashes and wiggle the brush toward the ends a section at a time. It dries and I don't worry about it for the rest of the day. Super nice, better than some other high-end mascaras I have tried. And it is all natural!! Win, Win!

Lovely product. Defines lashes elegantly and naturally. My lashes always grow and improve in length and thickness when I use this product. Not sure which ingredient, but this is better than a serum. So, two products in one! And I love love love that it comes off easily when I want it to, but not when I don’t.

I used Gabriel Cosmetics Black/Brown Mascara years a go and came back to it. I must have gotten a fresh tube as it isn't dried out like recent reviews have stated. No flaking, no irritation. No smudging if I'm not rushed. Good color that is dark but not black. It does a good job of looking like my lashes but better, some length, more smoldering. If you want a glamorous, almost fake lash look, this isn't the one. Dramatic enough for me though. If I could deduct from the 5th star -I would say it doesn't create a lot of volume for me. I was planning to try Tower28 in Drift- but glad I tried this again.

This is a wonderful natural look mascara. I'm not big on the fake long spidery mascara look. I prefer more subtle enhancement, browns rather than jet black, a softer look. If that's your jam too, this product delivers! It's a medium-dark brown, smooth formula, not too clumpy, good staying power throughout the day. You can double coat for a more dramatic look but one coat does the trick. It has a pretty decent brush but still requires a separate comb through between coats. Pic included for reference, mascara only on top lashes.

I've been wearing this mascara for a couple of weeks now, and I am happy to give it five stars. I have tried SO many natural mascaras -even small batch home-grown stuff found from the weird hippie recesses of the internet. This is my new favourite. I have worn it on long bike rides, to dance class, through a whole day of work in my dusty place of employment which usually makes my eyes water...and I have not had a single raccoon experience. However, the true test came two days ago, when I burst into a torrent of tears (...making a wrong turn in horrible traffic is stressful), and I did not have streams of brown down my cheeks. Additionally, this mascara does not burn the eyes or have any weird scent when applying. I had almost come to the point of accepting that I would just have to get used to daily raccoon eyes if I wanted an extremely limited-ingredient mascara. I am so relieved that I finally tried this brand, and it is at a relatively moderate price point for quality mascara. There is definitely cheaper out there -I've tried it, but the gain in cost has always meant a loss in quality. This one is worth the few extra dollars for me, and if it does not degrade as time goes, I will definitely purchase again.

I’ve never had any makeup of any kind irritate my skin or eyes as much as this did. I delusionally continued to use it because I do like the color and minimalist look of it - it doesn’t drastically extend your lashes. But will be throwing it out due to the irritation. Sadly too late to return so will not be buying the brand again.

Pros: Natural ingredients, not tested on animals, etc. Looks pretty good once you get it on. Doesn't cause irritation. Washes off very easily. Cons: Very sticky and messy - hard to control it going on, gets all over. I end up with gross black eye "boogers" in the corners of my eyes - thinking this is from it flaking off and my eyes flushing out the pieces, this problem alone has made this a no go for me but I know everyone's eyes are different.

I have been using and trying various brands of mascaras seemingly forever. I have bought the cheap and the expensive, but after discovering severe intolerances to grains and grasses, I switched to gluten free cosmetics. I have liked mascara forever and it is the one thing that my pale eyelashes and I require to have a happy face day. This mascara glides on very easily, and two coats later I am ready to face the day. I have loved a lot of mascaras and hated an equal number, but this one is firmly in the love column, at the top of the list. No smearing, no flaking, no itchy watery eyes, and no big price tag. The price is really good for any quality product, but it is especially good for gluten free, where onerous pricing is the rule and not a rarity. I can buy two tubes of this versus the one tube of other brands that I have tried, and my eyes and credit card both love it. I am also a fan of their dual foundation powder and blush, but that's for another day and another review. This is the mascara that I have always looked for and I finally found it. It won't change the world or make everything peaceful and wonderful, but it will make me happy to wear it, and it will make my eyelashes and eyes very happy. That's what I wanted and that's what I got. Thank you Gabriel. This is a home run.

I like that this produce doesn't involve animal testing or use animal products in its manufacture. However, it's quite thin and requires a number of coats to be effective. I bought it too hoping it would help rid me of itchy eyes caused by other mascaras, but this hasn't happened. Disappointing.

My favourite toxin-free mascara. Started using it years ago and continue to love it.

I love this mascara. It looks really natural and doesn’t bother my sensitive eyes.
