General Comments
I really, really wanted to like Blinc's Kiss Me. It seemed like a great innovation in mascara, but alas, it's not quite there yet.



Application is difficult. The mascara forms little 'tubes' around your eyelashes. Be prepared NOT to 'blinc' or move your eyes for four or five minutes, or the colour will end up on your eyelids and under your lashes. It dries the slowest of any mascara I've tried. If you're using it, do your eye makeup first, and have some olive oil or makeup remover and q-tips handy to clean up - you will very likely end up with mascara spots in places you don't want them!



In its favour, it does last all day, but I can't see any improvement over a good traditional mascara in that regard, and removing the stuff is a horror. It claims to slide off with water, but that's not quite true. What you need to do is wet your fingertips (preferably with an eye-makeup remover, water doesn't really work), put them round your lashes, and pull the tubes off. That can irritate both you and your eyes, and it takes a bit of time. Plus unless you're a pro at it, you'll miss a few of the tubes.



I hope they'll continue to work on the formula. It's a good idea but the execution is flawed. Mostly it feels like you've got false lashes stuck on that won't come off .
