I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- The mascara lasts barely a couple of hours without smudging, it's almost hilarious because it's the worst mascara I've ever had in that sense!
- The brush is quite big and a bit clumsy, I have to concentrate on putting it on, especially the lashes on the eye corners are difficult to get
- I think you can layer the mascara for a party look as well, but it's no use because the more you put on, the more it will smudge... and you need several more layers compared to my other mascaras.
+ Doesn't irritate my eyes at all, very gentle to apply as well, doesn't pull my lashes
+ Easy to wash off and doesn't leave any residue, doesn't need oils or double cleansing
+ I feel like I'm not losing any eyelashes (some mascaras make me feel so, probably been too harsh trying to wash them off)
+ Easy to achieve a natural everyday look, no clumps, quite well-defined lashes

* Before Clinique's High Impact Mascara I was using Essence's waterproof mascara. Still, I even wrote about Essence that I didn't trust it completely even though it had never made any mess during the day. But now I must admit, Essence is great and I can trust it. However this is not very fair comparison as Clinique's mascara is not promoted as waterproof so they are not even fighting in the same category.
* I have to say I'm surprised how bad the staying power is. Maybe I'm not meant for non-waterproof things, sadly. I want to find a good non- waterproof mascara though. They feel so much more gentle and my eyes are getting more sensitive the older I get.
* I've been using this High Impact Mascara now for about 2-3 months maybe? Which means it's not a disaster and when I don't have to look polished, a little smudging is ok. Plus the mascara was free and I refuse to waste products!
* I have a couple of other samples from Clinique, can't wait to test them more. So far Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate feels quite nice.

I just have to say no, unless you don't sweat at all and aren't oily and can keep checking how's your mascara every hour. I do love that Clinique's High Impact is a gentle mascara that is easy to wash off in seconds. I recommend trying the sample size one before going for the full size. But in the end I just can't use a mascara that refuses to stay on my lashes.
