This product is extremely affordable at less than 10CAD. Unfortunately, that's where the positive remarks end.
It is so messy and hard to work with. The packaging is similar to a salt shaker, which makes for a really untargeted application. It also makes it hard to control how much product comes out.
The powder itself is VERY white making it hard to conceal against my black hair. It's also very sticky, which is intentional for adding volume, but in practice, it makes it very hard style the hair.
Overall, I don't recommend this product.

I love the brand W3ll People. They are a small company that values non-toxic ingredients and high performing products. I can't ask for a better combination!
This is a loose bronzer that can get messy if you're not careful, but once you get used to it it's not a problem at all. I love the colour. My skin has a neutral light-medium undertone and this colour is perfect. It looks so natural - not too warm or cool and is highly pigmented. It also blends to absolute perfection.
What's great is the value for the money. I paid roughly 35 CAD for this product which sounds like a lot for a single product but I used this product daily and it lasted 7-8 months. I consider that a wonderful value for the money.
Overall, I highly recommend this product!

First off, I want to talk about the brush. I LOVE the size and shape. It's volumizing but not too big like what I see with other volumizing mascaras out there. It's perfect for getting all my lashes because it tapers at the end and I don't get mascara all over my lids when I apply this.
The problem is the performance of the actual mascara. It's mediocre at best for volumizing and lengthening and does not hold my curl at all. It's also not very black so my lashes are not very noticeable when I wear this. I also get smearing on my undereyes when I work out with this mascara on.
Luckily I only purchased the mini version. I'll probably re-use the brush with another mascara when this runs out!

This mascara has some serious hype around it. It's a cult classic that has a huge following in the beauty community. While I definitely see many positives with this mascara, there are many opportunities for improvement.
Brush - brush shape was fairly unique when this product launched. It's an hourglass shape meant to really volumize the lashes. While it does the job, I would have liked a brush with more defined bristles for better separation. I often get clumps from wearing this mascara if I'm not careful.
Formula - This formula is really great at giving the feathery look, which is my personal favourite finish with a mascara. This mascara does best after 2 weeks of use. My issue with this is that it does NOT do a great job of holding my curl and it flakes SO badly on me, which is super disappointing. It also get racoon eyes if I work out with this mascara on.

I purchased this mascara during the Sephora VIB sale. For one, I don't like the brush. I'm not a fan of plastic brushes in general. The bristles are also very pointy and small, which is great for separation but kind of hurts my water line if I'm not careful in application and end up poking that area. I do very much enjoy that the brush has bristles along the tip of the brush. It makes it very easy to reach the inner corner and bottom lashes.
This product is marketed to lengthen, volumize, and curl. While it definitely does lengthen and makes my lashes very black, it doesn't hold up the curl. My lashes naturally point staight out so curl is very important. This mascara also has a slick finish. I prefer mascaras that give a feathery full finish. Luckily this product did not smear under the eyes whatsoever but it also makes it a little difficult to remove at the end of the day.
Overall I did not like the application or overall effect of this mascara and therefore do not recommend it.
