Great morning everyone! I am on the roll with reviews! And I'm glad it's another mascara review and this time, it's not the regular mascara we all knew and loved! A brand called Blinc came out with a mascara that says...
"Stop Painting Your Lashes...Tube Them!"
Before I go further with the review, I want to clarify that I own the sample size, I'd rather try it first before purchasing a full size to make sure I'll love the product! A sample size would last me approximately 10-14 days of usage! I've used this for more than a week and I'm still using this to date!

Blinc Kiss Me Mascara says ---
Kiss Me Mascara is the original mascara invented to form tiny
water-resistant “tubes” around your lashes rather than painting them
like conventional mascaras. Once applied, the tubes bind to your lashes
and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your
eyes.
Kiss Me Mascara will add both volume and length to give you a radiant
natural look that lasts all day. Only when you are ready for removal,
the tubes will effortlessly slide off your lashes into your hand without
the use of a harsh makeup remover.
All it takes is the
combination of lots of warm water and gentle pressure, from your
fingertips, a washcloth or water pressure (i.e. shower) and the tubes
will slide off your lashes effortlessly. Upon removal you will actually
see the tiny tubes in your hand!
Kiss Me 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.
Available in: Black, Dark Brown, Purple

Pros
- no flaking
- lengthens
- curls held quite well
- lasts the whole day without smudging or even falling remnants of mascara
- perfect for sensitive eyes because the mascara flakes doesn't get into the eyes
- no raccoon eyes
- no clumping
- does not make the lashes "crunchy" as compared to regular mascaras
- super easy to remove
- easy to apply
- dries off easily upon application
- does not irritate my eye especially when I remove it at night as I only use warm water with slight pressure, no residue left
- stays on oily lids and even on our hot weather
Cons
- if you are looking for extreme and exaggerating volume, this isn't the one
- a bit pricey to others who aren't used to spending a lot on mascaras (but there's good news, locally, Beauty & Minerals sells sample size)
Overall
For cry babies out there, for you...who has the oiliest of all oily lids, the "I love to rub my itchy eyes" kind of girl and of course, to all of us who lives in a hot, humid weather, we finally got an answer to our mascara problems!
If you love to double the length or even triple the length of your lashes that can still look natural, this is the perfect one! Though the volume side is not as much as compared to other mascaras, it's still a "winner" because of it's ultimate smudge-free, budge-proof properties!
Tips
- curl your lashes prior to mascara application
- never pump your mascara to keep the shelf life longer
- no need to wait for mascara to set, just keep on applying til your desired length and volume
- apply like regular mascara making sure to "cover all areas", not to forget the lash corners
- using damp soft cloth, close your eyes and gently remove the mascara with downward strokes, I prefer doing this than my fingers as I may poke my eyes or accidentally pull out my original lashes
- don't want to spend a lot? Purchase the sample size first and see if you like the product or not!
- my personal choice to "volumize" my lashes, I apply a regular volumizing mascara first then I tube it with Blinc Mascara, then comb quickly with a lash comb to prevent clumps, it works!
- if you are faint-hearted, please be warned that the "tube mascara" comes off like your own lashes! Do not panic and think that you're losing your original lashes! *Breathe in...breathe out* calm down...

I am not a fan of purchasing expensive mascaras, but looks like this is an exception to my own rule.
