Mascara Review: Heroine Make Kiss Me Long & Curl Mascara

Review:
This is without a doubt my favourite mascara of all time!  It does everything I want from a mascara - lengthens, smudge free & curls!  The one reviewed in the video is the long & curl mascara from Heroine Make Kiss Me, but I also have and love the volume & curl, and as mentioned in the video, I often use one coat of each to give me both the perfect volume & length.  BUT, the most important thing about this mascara is that it holds my curls without leaving any smudges under my eyes for the WHOLE day!  I have the most stubborn lashes that often refuses to stay curled  - and I have tried a plathorea if waterproof mascaras.  I've found that Asian mascaras are the best at keeping my lashes curled, however, many still leaves me with a smudge under the corner of my lower lashes - even though I never put mascara on my lower lashes - I wear contacts and have very watery eyes so I'm very cautious about putting mascara on my lower lashes.  The Heroine Make Kiss Me Mascaras are the only ones that doesn't leave a smudge there most of the time.

The only negative I can think of with this mascara (and most Asian brand mascaras) is that it stays put a bit too much.  They don't budge at all, and this means removing them fully can be a pain, and if not removed properly, can lead to a build up to mascara on your lashes.  I've found a couple of mascara removers that seem to work on Asian brand mascaras (and I suspect all eye makeup removers from asian brands will do a brilliant job at removing these mascaras), and they are the Laneige waterproof eyes & lips, and also Heroine Make Kiss Me eye makeup remover wand and/or liquid.

I am trying other Asian Brand mascaras such as Majolica Majorca & will be reviewing these in due course, but I suspect there will be a lot of comparisons to this one!

Description:

Cleanse your face of make-up and daily grime with our gentle yet effective, sulphate and petroleum free face wash to achieve a balanced, clean complexion without stripping away your skin’s natural moisture levels. We’ve blended soothing, balancing, deliciously fragrant grapefruit, petitgrain and frankincense essential oils with spruce knot extract to help improve and smooth the appearance of congested or problem complexions. Anti-oxidant rich moringa and rice bran oils help to brighten and polish the skin to leave it smooth and gently cleansed.

Smooth over face and neck, gently massaging wash in circular movements to dissolve make-up and grime. Close eyes and wipe carefully over lids and eye lashes, avoiding direct contact with eyes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Apply our balancing face moisturiser or radiance face oil after to give a soft, clean and glowing complexion.

My View on this Face Wash:  So really to summarise what I've said in this video, this is a really gentle cleanser that doesn't strip the skin or leave it dry after use.  This is one of the few cleansers I've used that leaves my skin quite moisturised!  I generally used this as a gentle morning cleanser as I've found that it's not very effective at removing makeup and such.  I've found it great in the mornings as it doesn't leave my skin looking red or required me to extra moisturise to get a good base before makeup.  The use of natural ingredients and essential oils also reassured me that I wasn't applying any un-necessary parabens or sulphates on my skin.  However, like I've mentioned in the video, this has a very strong scent.  I personally am not adverse to scents and perfumes in my skincare (though prefer not to have any), but even I found the scent of this cleanser overwhelming.    I understand that the scents are from the essential oils, but eventually resorting to holding my breath every morning to cleanse my face became very tiresome and not how I wanted to start my mornings!  I did persevere until I finished all of this cleanser, however, unless I have a major breakout that required me to take care of my skin for several months, I am reluctant to repurchase this.

Ingredients:

Aqua, Decyl glucoside, Lauryl glucoside, Oryza sativa (rice) bran oil, Glycerin, Xanthan gum, Modified potato starch, Moringa oliefera (moringa) oil, Citric acid, Abies picea (spruce knot) extract, Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf extract***, Citrus paradisi (grapefruit)*, Boswellia carteri (frankincense)*, Citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain)*, Cymbopogon martini (palma rosa)*, Cananga odorata (ylang ylang)*, Anthemis nobilis (Roman chamomile)*, Benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, Dehydroacetic acid, Limonene**, Linalool**, Geraniol** *natural pure essential oil **naturally occurring in essential oils ***certified organic ingredient

Where to buy & price:  16.00GBP for 125ml
