Burt's Bees 100% Natural Nourishing Mascara, Black Brown, 0.4 Ounce

I am switching to all natural products. I know burt's bees is not the *absolute cleanest* in terms of ingredients but this mascara is not as bad as some of their other products and is what I can currently afford. I previously tried a natural mineral makeup brand mascara carried by wholefoods, reccommended by the staff as not flaking (which is a common problem with natural formulas). It did, and at $17 too. It is difficult to find brown mascara anymore so I like that they offer it. It goes on really well, much better than the chemical-laden stuff like great lash. I don't have to scrape the brush on the edge to get the extra off before applying with this at all. No product waste, bonus. Alot comes out on the brush but it is completely manageable with a light touch. The brush part is bendy so scraping it would be impossible to do. Not sure why, it is not positionable or anything, just springy-bendy. But it works well. Really better than anything else ever tried. With this mascara I can do one pass, no clumps whatsoever and then add a little to the ends for extra oomph if I want it. So you can do 'enhanced natural' or go dramatic with this. No flakes, no smudging after a long day. And the tube is big so will probably last. There are some other highly rated natural mascaras out there but for the prices you would think the stuff is gold. This is a great alternative.

I chose this as had been looking for make up with less chemicals and kindness to planet and know of the brand. As with all mascaras the more slowly and calmly you apply, the better it looks. Just don’t do what I did: was having stressful morning and running late for appointment, applied it very quickly then ran out of the house in a hurry, reversed into someone’s car, spent 30 minutes an hour going around the houses trying to find out whose car I scraped, eventually exchange details, then drove off and burst into tears as hitting that car was the final straw with other things going on in life - then you will find that this mascara stings, so you end up driving (empty county lane), sobbing, wiping your eyes, sobbing, your eyes stinging so more tears, you pull over and glance in the mirror and it looks like gravy browning streaming down your face, your eyes are red and puffy and stinging. Best to wear this mascara when calm and serene.

Favorite mascara. Have used for years. Like that is safe product.

This is a great clean mascara for everyday use! Gives your eyes enough definition while maintaining a very natural look, which I LOOOOVE!!! It's very easy to remove as well, which helps minimize lash loss. However, it's definitely not cry-proof, so only wear it on happy days :D

I’m a blonde and it’s really hard to find brown mascara. I’m not a big fan of brown/black or just plain old black mascara. This goes on easily and washes off easily as well. It also gives you a nice natural look. It will smudge if you tear up, just so’s you know.
