September 8, 2013 at 11:07 pmHave you ever tried/ heard of Honeybee Gardens Truly Natural Mascara? (~$10) What do you think of their ingredients? I put the physicians formula over to get more volume. I also use their lipsticks.

I haven’t tried it, but I noticed they use water (which means they need a preservative) + ethylhexylglycerin in their ingredients, which I don’t use :( I just got their lipstick, but haven’t tried it yet – all ingredients look ok though. Review of that coming soon!

February 19, 2014 at 4:50 pmHello Danielle. I’m a little confused. From your comment it sounds like mascaras that list water in their ingredients should be avoided. But many of the mascaras you recommended list water in their ingredients. Can you please clarify what you meant? Thanks!
Danielle

Sure! I try to avoid water at all costs in any beauty products, because it always requires a preservative so it doesn’t get moldy. Unfortunately, most mascaras do contain water, so it really depends on the preservative. I try to choose the lesser of the evils when it comes to this. To see what I try to avoid, check here. Hope this helps!

September 9, 2013 at 12:54 pmGreat selection of mascaras here, Danielle! I love the Physician’s Formula Organic Wear mascaras a lot. Real Purity is another awesome brand with really clean ingredients. I just heard that Alima Pure is launching a new mascara that I’m eager to try. Plus I’ve heard good things about Ava Anderson’s and Ilia Beauty’s mascaras. I still can’t believe how many natural mascaras there are now! Years ago you could barely find one with clean ingredients (possibly one brand was Real Purity because they’ve been around a while). Most still give me raccoon eyes by mid-afternoon, so I’m still testing my faves. Thanks for a really fun post and great pic!! xo

I just heard about Alima as well + am looking forward to it too!:) Unfortunately,Ilia uses some ingredients I don’t use, so that’s a no-go for me.

December 23, 2013 at 9:25 pmHi Danielle! I am a newbie to organic cosmetics and want to start slowly switching everything over. Which mascara is going to give me the voluptuous falsies look? Thank you for the time you put into this fabulous website!
Regards,
Julie

That’s a toughie with natural + organic mascaras… For voluptuous lashes, I like the Jane Iredale + Logona, but am also currently using a semi-natural one that I found after writing this… from Alima Pure.

July 14, 2014 at 5:53 pmHI. I love your site. Your voice is friendly, authentic and incredibly knowledgeable. Thank you for all your intel. Have you used Mineral Fusion mascara (or any other makeup?) If so, what are your thoughts?
Danielle
July 14, 2014 at 7:44 pmAw, Thank You Caryn! :) I’ve never tried Mineral Fusion’s Mascara, but a lot of their makeup contains Phenoxyethanol – an ingredient I try to avoid. You’ll be happy to know that I’ll be updating this post soon, with a more extensive list though! XO <3

July 16, 2014 at 10:16 pmHave you heard of Sweet Minerals and tried any of their make up items?

July 16, 2014 at 10:24 pmHey Lisa! I haven’t, but I have to admit, I’m not really a huge fan of MLM companies. I also couldn’t find complete ingredient lists for their products, just a list of key ingredient benefits. That’s usually a red flag for me. I only work with + support companies that fully disclose their ingredients to the public on their websites because I think we have a right to know what we’re putting on out bodies. ;) Hope that helps!

September 18, 2014 at 3:12 pmHey Danielle, I’ve been following to your blog for awhile now; referring to your reviews when I’m in need product recommendations Recently I have been on the look out for a quality mascara that regret wont follow after purchasing; however, as many of us are know remorse after purchase happen more often then not. Was referring to your mascara’s, Jane Iredale’s is listed. Having used Jane Iredale’s mascara before having inconsistent results, sometimes it works great, and others not so much. However, when I use lash primers the results for most mascara’s change dramatically, from so-so too WOW results. Do you have any lash primers recommendations with healthy ingredients, and won’t costing a weeks pays to recommend?
Danielle
September 19, 2014 at 1:38 amHey Genny! Thanks! :) I hear you, girl! Clean Mascaras that work well are tough to find! The only lash primer I’ve found with somewhat clean ingredients, is the one from Jane Iredale, but it is pricey. I don’t know of any others at the moment + I never used a lash primer at all until cleaning up my beauty routine because my conventional ones always worked so well. I wish I had a better answer :/ + promise to keep you updated! XO <3
