Blinc Mascara Amplified Review

This product comes in an awesome tin tube, you pop the lid off of it and out slides the tube of mascara. “Stop Painting Your Lashes...Tube Them” Tubing mascara apparently creates a “tube” of colour around your eyelashes, that can't be removed with pressure alone or water alone, so is supposed to last and not transfer onto your cheeks. It also claims that you don't need makeup remover to remove this.

I got this in "Dark Brown". When it's on my eyelashes it looks nice and dark, just like black but not as harsh.

The mascara brush is very large, I did find it was quite awkward to use, and got a small amount of product on my face, in saying that it was really easy to remove from my skin and didn't smudge when I tried to remove it while still wet. This mascara separated my lashes really well and curled them up. It did not clump at all, and I could keep layering it on without clumping.

I have given this a really good rub test and it didn't rub off at all, none on my face or my hands, but I pulled lightly on my lashes and a small amount did come off.

I had no panda eyes by the end of the day, and couldn't get any off by rubbing my eyes. It has great staying power. The instructions stated that to remove this mascara all you needed was lots of warm water and your fingers to gently pull the “tubes” off of your eyelashes. I found that a small amount of cold water worked and even makeup remover wipes did the trick, but it was time consuming to remove because you did have to pull at your eyelashes until all of it was off.

After removing there was no product left behind, and I could see the little “tubes” on my fingers. I got a little fright to begin with because I thought I was pulling my eyelashes out, but don't freak out when you try it, it's just the mascara.

This is a cool product and I will defiantly get heaps of use from it, because it stays put all day. I don't think I could fork out $45 for it, it doesn't give my eyelashes enough of a dramatic change for that kind of price.

I actually really liked this mascara!! It gave me long lashes with volume, without being too clumpy. The other thing I live is how to remove it!! It came off so easily in the shower, and it was just water that room it all off!! I think I got the brown mascara, would have been nice to try the black one as that's what I always wear, and it might have made them stand out even more. It's a really good product that I would definitely consider again :)

I really wanted to like this mascara. It had such cool packaging with a screwtop cylinder, and the brush looked really good. Unfortuantley that was as good as it got Called amplifying mascara it didnt live up to this. I did get some added length with the tubes that surposedly wrap around the lash but try as i might I could not build up any volume. It did however live up to its claim of being smudge, clump and run proof, But the removal with warm water did not work for me, and I had to resort to eyemake up remover.

Hands down my favourite mascara - this product delivers on its promise of all day smudge proof staying power. It does feel make my lashes feel dry compared with some that can feel greasy (as they melt and smudge and run) but I love the look opposed my tubed lashes. Good value for money, this mascara lasts well

"Stop painting your lashes, tube them!"  With a slogan like that, you instantly know that this is not a 'normal' mascara.

This paraben free, tubing formulation coated my lashes with layers of mascara that formed tiny water-resistant tubes around each lash, making them look much longer. If you're looking for volume, you might be disappointed by this mascara. It doesn't provide much volume, only length.

It dries quickly, does not smudge, run, clump or flake and cannot be pulled off easily.  This makes it great for contact lens wearers or those with sensitive eyes.  

Unlike other tubing mascaras that I have tried in the past, this one is removed with "no mess, no fuss" and comes off easily with a little warm water and some light pressure. I found that standing under the shower spray for a few minutes and using my fingers to gently press on my lashes (or by using a warm, wet wash cloth pressed gently on my eyes) removed the tubes effectively.  No eye make-up remover required and there was no breaking or any damage to my lashes.

I have this mascara in my purse for when I'm caught out on the run with no makeup, and need to look presentable! This is quite a wet formulation, with a thick fluffy brush. It applies really easily without clumps. It gives my lashes a very natural yet glossy and long appearance. It is not at all a volumizing formula IMO, but rather a lengthening and defining one. This mascara wears really well, I find that with other brands my lashes have lost their curl after a few hours, and I often have fall out panda eyes from the mascara wearing off, or from rubbing my eyes. This lasts all day, but really needs to be removed at night; if you've been a bit naughty and left it on overnight your eyelashes can clump a little and feel a bit irritated. My main deterrent from repurchasing is the price- I struggle to spend more than $30 on a mascara. In saying that however, I have had this sample in my bag for probably close to 10 months. Generally with mascara (which I use religiously) I have to bin it every 4-5 months max because it has either dried up or clumped up. This is the case whether I use that tube all the time or sporadically. Now this sample is still just as fresh as when I first opened it, thereby if you have issues with your mascara drying up before you've had a chance to get through it- this may be for you. Furthermore if a full size tube were to last me 50% longer than your regular 30$ mascara, then its worth the bigger investment.

I have a backup everyday mascara unopened in my stash, but will probably look at repurchasing when I have gone through this.

With mascara I find I'm a bit of a snob, I'm not really about the crunchy feeling. I like the product to last all day and if I'm caught out in the rain I don't want to look like I've been crying all day and it's running off my face. I also can't be bothered with mascaras that flake or smudge, I don't reapply my makeup during the day so when I leave the house that's it. This product holds really well throughout a work day and weekend day. No flaking or smudging at all!

This product is fantastic at providing a lovely black lash. As it 'coats' them they do feel a tad plastic, and look like wee spiders when you take it off. Once you get the application down and figure out what works for you it's great. It took me a few goes to figure out how to apply for length as I'm one of those who just blinks a few times and runs the brush through.

I found my doing the tips then the base of the lash gave the best volume. I really enjoy the look this product gives and I will repurchase. Especially with the weather all up the whack, it's nice to know my mascara is going to stay put!

I was given a sample size of the Blinc mascara, having already used their brow mousse. I was amazed - no clumping, easy to apply and actually stays on right through the day and into the night. I've used up the sample and have just bought the full size - so I'll be interested to see how long it lasts.

I got a small sample tube gifted to my order. I was super excited to try a tubing mascara as it was recommended to me. I've tried a few mascaras that were advertised as flake-free and non-smudging but I always find them smudging or /and little flakes. This tubing mascara is actually smudge-proof and flake-free. I apply this to my lower lashes where it's prone to smudging and flaking within hours and my mascara looks the same at the end of the day as it did when I applied it in the morning. Now the only con to this besides the price, is that it doesn't give my sparse, stumpy, non-existant lashes any volume or much length, it just gives it a bit more definition and makes them a bit darker. Also the bigger brush makes it harder to get every tiny short lash so I often end up getting mascara on my lower lid by accident. However, I find that once the mascara dries it's easy to clean it off my skin as it doesn't smudge. I would repurchase this mascara because having mascara that doesn't smudge and clump is really important to me.

When it comes to mascaras I kind of thought it had all been done before - different brushes, different formulas to give you thicker/longer/fuller lashes. So when this mascara arrived looking all flash in it's packaging, I thought "Well that's what's special about it - it's got nice packaging". I was so wrong!

Price: Ok, $45 is kind of high for a mascara. I'd usually spend around $30 max. But, if you use a product daily and can afford it, then why not spend a bit extra on a product you enjoy using?

Packaging: The mascara comes in a fancy tin, which makes a nice change from the boring plastic on cardboard norm. I've actually upcycled the tin already, it's in my handbag holding my bobby pins.

Brush: The brush is quite 'fat' and I've usually erred on the side that a narrow brush would be easier to use precisely - but I was wrong. What I thought would be a clumsy application was actually easier than ever. I also like that that the actual handle is a decent size so you can actually get a good grip.

Product: I've used Dark Brown. I actually always buy mascara in dark brown (or 'nearly black') as it's a more natural, everyday look. Black can sometimes look a bit dressy for where I work, brown just looks like my normal lashes, but better.

The formula is a lovely consistency - it's not too runny, but it's not so thick you have trouble distributing it. Your lashes separate evenly and although it's not the most dramatic finish, it's natural. And it doesn't create spider legs!

Performance: The mascara lasted well through the day, I had no issues with it rubbing off, sweating off, running in the rain. By the end of the day it looked exactly as it did first thing.

Removal: It's upon removing the mascara that you realise this really is different from every other mascara. It will not budge by using just water, and it will not budge by just rubbing. But standing under a nice warm shower stream gently rubbing your lashes between your fingers, removes the mascara - in tubes - you actually end up holding little tubes of mascara. I thought the 'tubing' was a marketing buzz term - nope, it actually does what it says!

My first impressions of this mascara were that it was the product of marketing hype. The fat brush, fancy tin and tubing result were all very weird to me - and yet the whole experience was wonderful. Easy to apply, lasting formula and gorgeous lashes - everything you want in a mascara.

Mind blown!
