I have so enjoyed the process of discovering incredible, natural, toxin-free products on this journey of going completely green with my makeup routine. It has been quite an education, and I’m so excited that we can share in the learning together!

I must thank the lovely ladies at Saffron Rouge for so graciously leading me to some of the niche products that I was searching for. Case in point: they led me to our first mascara contender in The Great Mascara Search {aka The GMS}! Yes, mascara is so important that I’ve given it its own category in this journey! And so, without further ado, here are my thoughts on Dr. Hauschka’s Volume Mascara.

In weeks to come, I’ll be sharing some makeup tutorials from the very talented Justine McKnight. Her response to using this mascara was that she was quite pleasantly surprised at how amazingly it applies – she wasn’t expecting that out of a natural product!

It’s true – it applies like a dream. The brush has the perfect density of bristles to ensure that every lash gets coated without clumping. The product lengthens and defines lashes for an easy natural look with one coat, but it is also buildable for a much more dramatic look with a few coats. It is essentially everything I would look for in a mascara…except…I have watery eyes. And this is neither waterproof nor created for ladies who tear up easily. So for me, the search continues! But if you are not a watery-eyed woman like myself, then I cannot recommend this mascara highly enough. It really does hit all of my “must haves” but that last one!

Next week I’ll be sharing my top picks for cheeks as I continue Going Green With My Makeup Routine. Hope you’ll join me!

To your toxin-free, glamorous health.
