AVEDA MASCARA PLUS ROSE
TWMichello (160 reviews)

I've tried tons of mascara brands, and I really like this one. The scent is nice, but that's not a selling point for me. I have sensitive eyes, and auburn hair, so I need a mascara that is non-irritating and preferably not jet black. I picked this up in Espresso and I'm pleasantly surprised. It is a very natural looking mascara. If you want to look like you're wearing false lashes that extend up to your brows a la Kim Kardashian, this isn't for you. If you want a natural "you but better" look, this is a good choice. It extended my lashes slightly, separated them, and made them look longer, thicker, and just overall fantastic. One coat was all I needed. I would call it an "enhanced natural" look. I had no issues whatsoever with clumping, flaking, seepage, or a long drying time. Perhaps they have reformulated? I love this mascara and will definitely repurchase! The first time I used this product I didn't like it because it didn't give my lashes that "WOW" factor that other (non-natural) brands have given me. However, since I've turned over a new leaf and started using all-natural skin care and make-up products, I've returned to this one and I LOVE it. It makes my lashes look naturally defined; no clumps or dead giveaways that you are actually wearing mascara. I'm going for the natural look now, using tinted moisturizer instead of foundation, and natural earth tones for eyes and only a hint-of-color for lips. My mom gave a compliment on my makeup when I first started using this product. She said, "your face looks great and your lashes look SO NATURAL!" If you're going for the natural look, use this mascara. Other natural brands are sometimes more of a "lash-tint"; this one looks natural but it is still possible to sculpt a great shape and curl by using an eye-lash curler. I'm still curious to try other brands, but when dissappointed, I will always go back to this one. I've repurchased this product repeatedly and will no doubt continue to do so- it's lovely stuff! It doesn't do anything terribly dramatic, but if you want conditioned, glossy, naturally defined lashes with a bit of lengthening and volumising effects, you'll love this... I know I do! Its conditioning formula means that I don't "lose" lashes during application, and my finished eye makeup is enhanced by glossy lashes that are soft to the touch. This product is scented and I do have sensitive eyes, but I've not had a bit of irritation from it. If I had to describe this product in a word, it’d be “clean.” It is a light, simple formula that darkens, conditions, and seperates your lashes, but doesn’t perform pyrotechnics. It looks utterly natural – which is what I want 98% of the time. This looks perfect for a day in the park or a family dinner – your eyes will look great, but not like you’re trying too hard. If you want a mascara that doubles the legnth of your lashes or plumps them into an extravagant fringe, this isn’t for you. If you want an easy to apply, effective lash enhancer that looks great in natural light and perfect for the office, give this a try. For the reviewers who write about flaking, I must say I’m surprised. My best guess is that they tried to layer on too much product to get the more pronounced look they’re accustomed to. With one simple coat, I’ve never had any problem with flakes or smudges. In fact, I first wore this for a teary wedding because I was told that this is the most water-resistant formula that doesn’t have the chemical junk that most waterproof mascaras use. — 1 month, 1 week ago

A great mascara!
TBjunkie (678 reviews)

This mascara actually has a light rose scent to it and that makes it a pleasure to use, I love it. It goes on smoothly and is easily to clean off. At a bargain price too! — 1 year, 7 months ago

corizotti (540 reviews)

just warm running water and this mascara is gone, leaving my ultra long wear industrial eyeliner looking weird and lonely on my eyes....i love that it smells like roses....i never noticed the smell of mascara very much before buying one of these, and now i do, and some of them smell really chemically....oh, and it didnt cause any lash-loss. — 4 years ago

The best black ever, but...
teshie (396 reviews)

This mascara gives my pale, skimpy lashes length, definition, and fullness while making me look as though I have naturally awesome lashes, and the scent of roses is an unexpected treat. But my favorite thing about this mascara is how richly pigmented it is; the black is the richest black ever, beatuifully framing my blue eyes. But alas, by noon the mascara has transferred from the tips of my lashes to under my eyes, leaving two blurry half-moons on my concealer and making my lashes look stumpy. The fleeting perfect that this mascara offers is even more frustrating than if it was just straight up awful. — 3 years, 5 months ago

LOVE IT!!
Etigger (4 reviews)

I have very thin lashes that tend to fall out. I read the review here and decided I would try this product. I love it. My lashes look thicker, the wand is perfect at coating each lash and not clumping. It has also left my lashes feeling soft even after I have washed it off. The only thing I have noticed is that at times it does smudge a little. I have only used it for a week but it has done wonders for me so far. — 2 years, 2 months ago

Switch to this rose-y Mascara
Genie_Burton (1 reviews)

I used to be a Lancome mascara lover for 10 years. I moved to San Fran and my allergies made my then favorite mascara run and I hate waterproof (takes too long to get off). So a friend told me to visit Aveda (she has very sensitive skin, more so than mine) and see what they have. I tried their Mascara Plus Rose and I love it. Not only does it not irritate my eyes, the rose oil adds extra moister to my crows feet! And it does not sting my eyes when allergy season is here. Loved it so much, I have continued to shop there. A must staple buy! — 3 years, 1 month ago

Aveda Mascara Plus Rose
tebetebe (10 reviews)

My lashes were getting thinner and thinner and breaking from using other mascaras. This mascara saved my lashes they qui breaking and started growing back in. It was a LASH saver — 3 years, 8 months ago

Best mascara
purplejonquil (62 reviews)

I love this mascara. I've tried many drugstore brands, including Maybelline and Revlon, but this is by far the best in terms of quality, wear, and price. Plus the subtle rose fragrance is a lovely change from the usual chemical smell of other brands, even the high-end ones like Lancome. It's easy to remove, but it stays put throughout the day. Other mascaras would "migrate" to my lower lids during the day--very annoying. I highly recommend this product! — 3 years, 11 months ago
