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:
- Dries fast, so I have to be fast and layer my lashes in one go. I can't come back to add or fix my other eye a few seconds later (I tend to do that to make my both eyes have the same looking lashes) and this is incredible frustrating when you have to think a simple routine in a different way. It crumbles and creates clumps when you try to add.
- Already very dry feeling mascara when I first time opened the tube, my first thought was that it is already expired (and as a person who likes mascara slightly on the drier side - mascaras usually get better for me after they've been opened for a month or so)
- When you try to create more volume, everything just clumps and I have to pick the clumps off, I think I need a separate brush to comb my lashes
- I had to layer about 3-4 times to get the results I wanted (and it would still just clump). But I think it's because this mascara doesn't seem to create volume the same way like my usual mascaras and I have thin lashes (a lot of lashes but thin and the tips are very light)
- Crumbles after 4-8 hours of wear, sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on sweating, if I accidentally touch my eye, how I managed to apply it etc.
+ Dries fast, so the mascara doesn't smudge on eyelids while putting it on, this was interesting (usually I always wipe something off both from lower and upper lids)
+ Lengthens lashes slightly better than my other mascaras, the effect was noticeable to other people as well
+ Truly, washes off with warm water, first I thought it wasn't going to work but I had to use a bit warmer water than what I usually use, and it all came off in maybe a minute of gentle rubbing? (I take my time when removing eye makeup, I used to lose lashes when I was younger and impatient!) Very gentle, very convenient! Love!
+ On a normal day (not much sweating), seems to be smudge free - I did have slight smudging under both eyes after 10 hours when I checked but it wasn't embarrassing amount (but it does crumble though so it is not worry free)

* I had high expectations for this Eyeko Mascara... It came in the Lookfantastic Advent Calendar 2019 and it had gotten some good reviews. It does feel very different from the mascaras I've been using the latest, Isadora Build Up Mascara Extra Volume Waterproof mini (very difficult to wash off but lasts well) and Clinique High Impact Mascara Mini (smudges like crazy).
* When my mascara is easier to wash off, I dread washing my face less. This is definitely the biggest advantage of Eyeko mascara. I am looking into tubing mascaras more. For example I could try NYX Professional Makeup Doll Eye Mascara, Clinique Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula, L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Excess Mascara or DHC Mascara Perfect Pro Double Protection. I already bought Maybelline Snapscara Waterproof on a good sale so I'll test that next.
Price:
12,45 € / 4 ml mini size
24,45 € / 8 ml
Bought from:
Lookfantastic Advent Calendar 2019
Buy again?
Maybe? Or some other mascaras from Eyeko if on sale.
Worth the money?
Not a volume mascara in my opinion. Mini size is well worth the cost for me. I don't think a full size is necessary as I don't have any problems with minis and I wouldn't pay almost 25 € for this mascara. Eyeko's Lash Alert Mascara is a good mascara, but is it great? I'm not sure. For everyday use I do like it, because it doesn't destroy my lashes and doesn't smudge all over.
