like a black body suit is being painted onto each lash zero eye irritation easy to wash off [SEP] i may be in the minority here but i rather like this mascara and yes it is made in china not made for usa but made in china but it is a chinese beauty product no idea if its been around how it ranks with beauties on that side of the world could not tell you the ingredients tried translating but i repeatedly failed search engines insisted that i was looking for cpap not cpcpso i usually end up with more mascara that i dont like rather than what i do like i like thiswhy because my eyes are super sensitive to make up and this does not bother me at all i love mascara but often find myself needing to wash it off after a couple of hours if not immediately depending on the brand no joke it sucks so when i encounter a mascara thatwell allows me to actually wear it i add to my list of potential repurchase i have tried so many over the years funny thing a few on my list happen to be cheap mascara essie wet n wild but not all and most mid level priced brands bother me as well as uber expensive natural healthy brands what i have noticed is that the waterproof brands do the best in terms of feeling gentle and non irritating probably less likely to flake next up is the most recent generation of mascara that includes silk fiber lashes which this isthe silk fiber mascara is so very different in feel and performance over traditional mascara it has this interesting ability to coat the lashes like a black body suit is being painted onto each lash it easily and instantly really darkens the lashes and can add volume and length the formulas tend to be waterproof and yet somehow wash off much much much easier than typical waterproof formulas so for me from application through face washing the d silk mascara is much easier and gentler to work withmy lashes do not look like how they have it portrayed in the pics if you already have long lashes i imagine this will be extra glamorous on you for me with my mediocre lashes that simply need a boost of color to make me happy and not make me want to claw my eyes out this works well on me i included several pics with one eye with it on one eye with it off then i followed up with pics of the mascara on bothit should not matter but the box is super pretty i still have it and i have no use for it but it is just so pretty to look at added a picture of the mascara wandif i can glean any further information about this product i will come back and add to this review
