ZuZu Luxe Mascara in Onyx Review

I think that I have mentioned in a couple of older posts how natural mascara actually causes me to get styes on my upper lid right by my lashes, so annoying.  While I'd prefer a natural mascara, I usually stick to chemical filled ones and just don't apply it directly to the roots.  Yes, it makes me feel better even though it's probably bad for me anyway lol.  I happened to be browsing the Whole Foods cosmetic section, shocking right?, and found this mascara on sale.  It was still $19.99 CAN, but that's better than the usual $28.99.

Description: This gentle and non-irritating formula enriched with vitamins and herbal extracts will help protect each fragile eyelash and encourage maximum growth. The luxurious nylon brush is especially designed to add length while being clump proof and non-smudging. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

I've been using this mascara for about 2 weeks and am on the fence.  I like having really full lashes and this just doesn't do that for me.  I love the wand and expected big things from it but it let me down :(.  It's great to pop on quickly but if I try to build up my lashes with multiple coats, it gets clumpy.  It also makes my lashes hard which makes them fall out much easier. If anyone has tips on how to apply this to get amazing lashes, let me know please! I do like how natural looking it is, doesn't flake and hasn't given me styes.  While it's natural and doesn't irritate my eyes I don't know if I'd repurchase.  I may just use this on a day-to-day basis and get a chemical filled one for days that I want va-va-voom lashes. Is it even worth it then?  I don't know.  Maybe if I can figure out a better way of applying it, I may just fall in love.  I'm going to play with it a bit more and perhaps it'll end up in one of my monthly favourites!  I'd recommend it to those who just want a bit of definition but wouldn't recommend to those that like big, full, thick lashes.

Retails for approx. $28.99 CAN and can be purchased at most health food stores like Whole Foods Market.  Check out ZuZu for more info.

What's your favourite natural mascara and why?

  1. This is actually my favorite mascara. I wish it gave a slightly more dramatic look, but I love that it doesn't flake or smear like a lot of other more natural mascaras. A lot of times mascara makes my eyes itchy too, but I've never had issues with this one.

    Canadian mark ups are ridiculous though, aren't they? If you do decide to repurchase, I always order mine from White Rabbit Beauty - they have the best price I've found for it and quick, free shipping to Canada too :)

  2. Oh I know girl, I've read your blog and seen how much you love this mascara. Was hoping you'd give me tips on applying it to get more dramatic lashes but you feel the same in that department. I think if they could made this one work like the Lavera one, I'd be in complete love.

    Omg tell me about it! And they all use the same excuse about how it's shipping and duties and all that jazz (which I sorta believe) but I still think they mark it up higher than they need to or should. I will definitely check out White Rabbit Beauty! Thanks xo

  4. Bummer that is doesn't work better...I have trouble with mascaras lengthening but not thickening. I'm still on the hunt for "the one"!

    1. Have you tried it yet? If not, try it. It's now my favourite mascara. It thickens when it dries up a bit.
