I bought this mascara hoping that it would not smudge but despite following the directions for application I was very disappointed .Not only did it smudge very quickly but it also flaked off in tiny bits which irritated my eyes .As a contact lens wearer this is a big no-no.

The Blinc mascara brush was long and wide making application really easy and making sure each one of our lashes got a decent coating.
The initial look was nice and dark and lashes did appear slightly longer and more defined than before - but to be honest, not anymore than with cheaper products than this £18 luxury buy.

Don't bother! Very flakey after a few hours. I can't rub your eyes as advertised. Caused sore infected eyes after approx 5 days of use. It didn't curl lashes at all, they stay dead straight, so didn't lift away from eye. Very runny so messy at application. Thank goodness I only bought a sampler.

I had high hopes for Blinc mascara but I wish I had checked this site beforehand and read the less than favourable reviews, as it does not live up to the hype!
I followed the instructions provided to the letter but it neither added much length, dramatically darkened or visibly thickened my lashes.
In fact I would go so far as to say this is the worst mascara i've ever tried! My lashes looked uneven where it had dried in clumps, and the ends of my lashes tended to develop little bobbles of mascara at the tips- not attractive!
The removal process was a total palaver and I feared that I was actually pulling out my own eyelashes, as you have to use so much force to pull the tubes of pigment off your own lashes.
I am very very disappointed with this product and quite honestly despite only using it 3 times and having spent £16 I am going to throw it away and continue my perfect mascara quest!

I got this mascara after I read all the good reviews and hoping for a revolution in non-smudge mascara. And to be honest I don't see what's all the hype and good reviews about it. True - it does not smudge, but it covered the area under my lower lashes with tiny bits of tubes after several hours!... And when you take it off it seem you have tiny spider legs all over your face and hands... Pure horror!
I was thinking that maybe it's my fault - puting my face cream before the application of the mascara: surely there can be some of the cream on the lashes after that and maybe that's why it does flake of. But one morning I tried it on clean lashes before applying my makeup and it still flake and even more! I paid way too much for it to be throwing it away - I will give it last chance tomorrow morning before I get rid of it.
And one more thing - with this mascara you will not get dramatically thick lashes does not mater how many coats you'll put . At most it is just OK looking mascara with not much clumps.

I really, really wanted to like Blinc's Kiss Me. It seemed like a great innovation in mascara, 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 .
