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:
- Went "bad" surprisingly fast, I felt it started to sting/tickle my eyes after a couple of months of being opened (even though the label says it's good for 6 months), or maybe I'm sensitive to something in it
- Not waterproof, not really any proof
- Didn't really make lashes longer or thicker, just colored them
- The brush is not my favorite kind, I like the sleek, thin, "plastic" ones
- Made a bit of a mess when applied to lower lashes or corners or anywhere where you need precision
+ Cheap. On sale or some other deal usually.
+ Did work very well for a mascara in that price range! Colored lashes, didn't make a huge mess, the brush is decent, not much clumps or anything
+ The end result was really natural, as if I wasn't wearing mascara almost (ok for everyday look but not really if you wanted a more put together look)

* I repurchased several times so it must mean the mascara is decent or good for the price! I have no big complaints really, just that it's not my favorite or I can't honestly recommend it
* I feel that I don't have the need to buy expensive, "perfect" mascaras all the time and for every occassion because I have to throw them out so soon anyway (sensitive eyes)
* Now I have to find another cheap alternative because Star Effect is discontinued! Altogether I probably used 4-6 pieces of them.

Worth the money?
Not amazed by this mascara but it worked (though it wasn't waterproof) and for the price, it was good, worth it.
