My Review
Ok, so lets get one thing straight, I LOVE MASCARA. It is one products I wear everyday. It is a little scary at first to switch to a totally natural lash booster, I have tried other natural mascaras and always find I regrettably go back to the bad ones…Mainly because I haven’t found one that works well. They tend to flake and dry up so quickly.
My First Impression of the Product
When I first used this mascara, I was pleased, but I knew time would tell. I wanted to see if it would dry and flake like most other natural mascaras I have tried. With a few days of use I was learning that I was beyond pleased. I quickly became a happy customer. 
I have tried other mascaras from some of my favorite brands like:
Jane Iredale: Although I love Jane’s Full Coverage BB Cream, I absolutely dislike their mascara. It flakes and is dry within a month. At the Spa where I work, unfortunately we have the most returns on this mascara.
Earth lab: Makes wonderful mineral makeup, but also falls short with their mascara, drying up and flaking shortly after application.
ILIA Beauty has the best formula I have ever come across. With absolutely no flaking, smudging or clumping.
Scent and Texture
This is not a scent free mascara, but the scent is very pleasant, and subtle. Just a little sweet and fresh.
Application
There are two sides of this brush, straight and curved. The applicator is very fine rubber. At first I was not sure if I would like it, as I am so use to a more traditional brush, but this brush is still thin enough and applies practically the same as a fibre brush.
ILIA has a formula that is slick and wet. I love how this product applies to the lashes. I get a natural curve with a full body of lashes.
- It does not flake
- It has an amazing applicator ( separates the lashes and prevents clumping)
- the color is bold and saturated
- It has a good seal to prevent drying out
- The ingredients are top notch !
I chose ILIA Beauty color Nightfall. I like dark bold lashes. I naturally have darker tones so it works great for me. It is a deep saturated color, and lives up to its name.

How well does it work?
This is the best natural mascara I have ever used. I will NOT go back to a drugstore product to substitute for the other natural mascaras I have tried,( that did not work well) I will likely never change to any other. ILIA has made the mascara I have been looking for, its that simple.

How Long Will it Last? What is the Shelf Life?
ILIA has made a wonderful natural mascara that has outlasted any other I’ve owned. Most have dried out far to soon, throwing away money and creating waste. ILIA claims their mascara will last 6 months. I can back this claim, as my mascara has stood up to the test of time.
Final Thoughts
You have probably gathered by now, that I truly do love this product. I have been so excited since giving this product a chance. After many other tries with different natural mascaras, ILIA has made the best one.
I really hope that I have helped you with my review. It has taken me time and money to try and find a great natural mascara. I hope that I have saved you both.
I will continue using this product and confidently recommend it.
