Pacifica Stellar Gaze Mascara – Stardust (Brown) Length & Strength, Natural Mineral Mascara with Coconut & Vitamin B, Long-Wearing, Vegan

I bought this mascara because it's a clean brand and it comes in actual brown (vs. black masquerading as being brown). In short, it is great for what it is and I will absolutely buy it again. Need more explanation? This is a washable, natural mascara. It is not loaded with lengthening fibers. It is not false eyelashes. It is not meant to make your natural lashes look like false lashes. It is not waterproof. It is a lovely enhancement of your natural lashes. I have naturally straight lashes that I have to curl manually. This mascara only holds about 20% of that curl, if I play my cards right. At the end of the day, I'm okay with that. That amount of curl is still more than any single other washable mascara, natural or otherwise, (and even some waterproof) that I've ever used. Trust me, that's a decent list. It leaves enough of a natural-looking sweep and enhances my eyes, then washes off cleanly at night with my normal cleanser. However, on my daughter's naturally curled lashes, it does NOT straighten her lashes at all. They stayed curled and looked amazing. I like the brown because, honestly, the pupils of my eyes are the only black thing about me and black mascara has the potential to look garish against my light complexion and naturally blonde hair. I only apply to my top lashes and I did not have any problem with flaking or smudging. There is no noticeable smell and I had no irritation of my eyes. My lashes were soft and I had no need to mess with them by the afternoon, which also helps prevent lash loss. If you're looking for something clean and washable, especially if you have naturally curled lashes, this could be perfect for you. And hey, it even comes in black. ;)

I've been using this product for years! I've ordered 14 times. I've definitely got some bottles that have been super watery, but Amazon has been good about sending me a new one. I feel like this mascara goes on a lot better with the pacifica collagen serum. My eyelashes look way longer & thicker! It says it's not water resistant, but I have cried many times and it stays on pretty good. I just like that it doesn't sting my eyes at all when I sweat or cry. I would definitely recommend if you're trying to stay away from the toxic stuff. I use brown. It's very soft and makes green eyes pop! If you experience clumping, it just means it's drying out and time to get a new bottle!

So the mascara is GREAT. Might be my new favorite mascara. The color is great, it applies really well and layers beautifully. Makes my lashes look fantastic. My only complaint about the mascara is that it is not waterproof, and you do need to reapply day-night, and it runs if you sweat at all. (I got the waterproof version too, but don't like it nearly as much.) The seller shipped really fast, good communication. However, they sent one of the two tubes of mascara I ordered with no box and a note that said, "new greener packaging!" which, to me, read like an excuse that the packaging was incomplete. Since the tubes are not sealed in any way, it made me a little suspect - especially when I found the same mascara sold in boxes at Target shortly after I bought these - for like $7 less per tube. I'll just buy at Target next time.

I love that I can get this in brown. It’s a very natural looking dark brown that accentuates your lashes without giving them a fake black finish. The brush size and style is perfect for lengthening and separating. It doesn’t get clumpy and dry as fast as other brands. If you feel it’s too thick or dry to work with, just dip wand in distilled water. Sometimes with any mascara you can get one that’s been exposed to temperature extremes in warehousing or shipping. Which is very hard on makeup. Especially one that’s more natural and free of potential carcinogens like this one. So be realistic and don’t write off healthy makeup that’s less than perfect upon opening. It’s best with this mascara, as well as many others ; to apply in 2-3 coats with drying in between. You get the defined prominent look you want without getting tarantula eyes. It’s a waste of time to try and build on wet mascara, with each stroke your removing the same amount your applying. I love how good this has been for my lashes. They are longer and stopped falling it every time I remove mascara. It comes off easily with baby oil or eye makeup wipes. Only lash type I don’t recommend it for is short curly. Simply because you need a thin short bristle brush. You could take a brush from another mascara, clean sterilize and screw on to this tube if the fatter brush isn’t right for you or if you prefer a curved brush. Using a healthy formula is worth a little modification

Great brown mascara which is somehow so hard to find! It makes my lashes look so good, they still pop but not as harsh as black mascara with my lighter features & hair. My eyelashes are decently long & full they just need help in the pigment department this does that & I like lengthens a bit as well. It also fans them out nicely. I have like clear bottom lashes too so I do need to do my lowers too. This will smudge under eye a bit if you sweat but I’ve found that after I wipe the initial smudge it doesn’t happen again & the color on those baby lashes is decently still retained. A minor inconvenience but since there’s no solid waterproof mascara options in brown I’ll take it! Lastly, I feel this formula is good for my lashes & not harmful. It comes off very easy & I'm not losing a bunch of eyelashes every night like other mascaras I’ve used in the past.

Overall I like this product, but in the vast world of mascaras it doesn't stand out. I like the fact that its made with natural products. It does not irritate my eyes. It's a bit lighter than I expected and I need to apply a few layers to my light short eyelashes, unlike some of my other mascaras.It's easy to apply, consistency is good and the brush is okay. However, I think the packaging is deceptive. The tube inside is a lot shorter than the box it comes in. I've definitely had worse, but I've also had better.

Good for everyday use. Not too heavy or flaky, nice natural look. Does not clump.

I wanted to love this because of the clean ingredients. It was good for about a month, but then it quickly dried up and got really clumpy. It also would rub off very easily. I would say if you're looking for something at a cheaper price point, to keep looking. It would even be worth spending a few more dollars for something of higher value.

I have tried so many mascaras searching for "the one" that doesn't smudge, flake or wear off or make my eyes feel heavy, water resistant (tears) and is as natural/organic as possible and this was recommended by someone on Amazon after I wrote a review about a "supposedly organic waterproof mascara" that left me with panda eyes after only a short car ride!! Not only is this one of the cheapest products I have tested, but it is really perfect. I have accidentally rubbed my eyes, and it hasn't come off and I refuse to not wear my home made moisturiser, which is slightly oilier than store bought ones and this hasn't budged....it feels really light and it also comes in brown, which suits me better. It also doesn't weigh my lashes down and has amazing staying power..........absolutely delighted.

Works well enough. Colour is good. In some circumstances it can smudge a bit under eye if sweating too much. Would be great if they made a waterproof one.

just pale enough

I do really like this mascara - needed a dark brown because black is too dark for every day use now I'm older (48), skin and hair changing etc. Like the colour, it doesn't smudge / flake etc and easy to get off (depending upon what remover you use of course). I use an organic miscellar water or just organic coconut oil. The only thing is (hence the 4 stars not 5) is that I find the brush too large / fat. If you have large(er) eyes in terms of how long and wide the opening is to be able to get at the base of your lashes, then this will be a great mascara. I actually wish mascaras came with a separate thinner brush if provided with thicker, and vice versa. Happy with it though and will definitely buy again if wanting some more brown
