PR Sample: I've never tried anything from The Honest Company. I remember when Jessica Alba started The Honest Company. I wrote a blog post about it in 2013. It started with baby products, then she developed cleaning products, clothing and now they have beauty products. Well, I love beauty products!!! But again, I never tried anything. So I was very excited to receive a sample of their NEW Extreme Volume Mascara + Bold Lash Primer. This is a CLEAN mascara! No surprise there. Let me break it down ... NO parabens, paraffins, silicones, mineral oil, acrylates, PMMA, PEGs, Talc, Formaldehyde. This mascara is also Vegan and Cruelty Free. So let's get to it! The tube for this mascara is dual-ended. On one end is a blue primer. Yep, I said blue. I didn't read anything about the product at first (I like to do that a lot of times), so I had a flash-back to ... anyone remember color mascara!?! No, just me? Ok, well moving along. Well it's NOT a color mascara. The blue stuff is the PRIMER. Why blue? The blue color adds depth + richness to the BLACK MASCARA. The primer "builds maximum-fiber volume from root to tip" and is "made with nourishing castor oil, 3 lengths of natural fibers,
naturally-derived film formers, & plant-based waxes. Made for all
lash types, including sensitive eyes + contact lens wearers." Sounds honestly good to me. So you apply the primer, wait 30 seconds and then you apply the other end of the wand (which is the actual mascara). Man, the brush for the mascara is one huge fluffy brush! I didn't have any problems with it, but boy is it HUGE! Now, let me share my experience using it. The primer applied really well. It stays blue the entire time. So I was a little worried that the blue color would still peek through, once I applied the mascara. That didn't happen for me. The mascara brush is huge, but it's shaped really well. Application will cover your lashes from end to end. It's a dry mascara. I love those! Dry mascara's seem to give a cleaner, more defined look to lashes. I was pleased with my final look. My lashes looked so much better then when they were bare. I mean, really? Isn't that the goal. No matter what product, you look better after using it. That's always the goal. I think this is a very good everyday mascara. It won't break the bank and will give your lashes a better-than-they-looked-before LOOK. I definitely would like to try more of her products.
