Kevin Aucoin mascara - any good?

Hi is the Kevin Aucoin mascara any good? The tubing one. I have a gift voucher and need new mascara so thought it might make a change from the clinique lash power but if its not worth it I'll just get some shower gel or something instead.

It's on offer at cult beauty just in case you were deciding where to buy it :)

IME mascara is one of those products where you don't need to splurge to get great results.

It’s my favourite and I always go back to it. I only use tubing and this gives me nice colour, length and doesn’t clump.

Yes I struggle to find a tubing one for much cheaper though. I've only found clinique, this one and hourglass. I don't use hourglass due to their dodgy shade ranges.

@KatzP thank you do you use the purple one or the red one?

I have been using this for 2 years. It is great. Superb volume and length and stays put all day.

Before that I had been finding even the waterproof ones smudged even though there are loads of mascaras I like. I was avoiding tubing because I thought it was a pain to remove. This one is worth it and comes off quickly with warm water and doesn't damage lashes at all.

@OinkyO both. Mainly the red one but I will use both esp if one is on offer or out of stock.

I have it, I've very small, deep set eyes and this (and doublewear) are the only ones that don't smudge. I moved from EL as they don't test on animals - although it's a bit of a grey area as they don't claim to be cruelty free apparently. It's really easy to remove - just hot water no actual eye make up remover required.

It’s fine, EL doublewear is better

Bought the curling one..the packaging is truly awful. Looks good on the eyes though.
