blinc Blinc Lash Primer

Blinc Lash Primer should be applied to eyelashes prior to applying Blinc Mascara. Heck, you could use this product under any mascara--I like that!I believe Blinc Lash Primer does help nourish my eyelashes. My eyelashes are definitely longer after I apply this product. I like that I can apply this product, curl my lashes, and then apply the mascara over eyelashes that have already been elongated by the Primer. The Primer brush does a great job separating lashes, as well.I'm applying this Primer after applying my eye cream (I wait a few minutes). The Primer helps protect my natural eyelashes and helps adhere the Blinc Mascara (again, you could use any mascara with this Primer. See my review of Blinc Mascara for more information on that great product).The product goes on "white" so you will want to use mascara over it. I've never worn it alone or longer than a few minutes to see if it stays white. When I apply my Blinc Mascara over it, I first apply to the white tips of my lashes to ensure I've covered that. Then I apply to remaining lash area.What I like is that:1. There is no clumping.2. Length of lashes is increased easily by applying additional coats.3. It doesn't irritate my eyes, skin, or hurt my natural eyelashes.4. This really thickens and fills in my eyelashes as a preparatory step before applying my eyebrow mousse. And covers grey eyelashes really well--yes!!!!!!!!!!!I have no "dislikes" for this product.

So first let me say—I love blinc mascara. I love the tubes, I love how easily they wash off. The primer (I purchased white) makes it MUCH harder to remove because the tubes turn to little blobs and there’s a lot more cleanup involved. Honestly it’s probably still easier than normal or waterproof mascara, and if you’re not used to the tubes it’s probably a perfectly fine primer. That aside, I have a terrible time putting the blinc mascara on. It ends up all over my eyelids and I have to wait for it to dry and then wipe my eyelids, then go about my eyeshadow application. The primer made this part a LOT easier, so in that respect, it’s a great primer. Overall I’d give it a meh for its priming use.But. Let me tell you. I apply it at night and it has done WONDERS for my lashes. Seriously I had a near-bald spot on one eye and the lashes were way shorter than the others and it was heck trying to make it look normal, but after less than a week of the primer (after more than a week of weird lashes on that side, so it’s definitely due to using this product), all of my lashes are back to full length and then some. I am incredibly impressed. So I will continue to buy it and use it as a lash conditioner. As a bonus, I’ve found that it doesn’t totally wash off my face in the morning, and what’s left seems to serve it’s priming purpose just fine. Best of both worlds.

I had never used a lash primer before and was a bit skeptical, but thought I would give it a go as I don't like to wear false eyelashes. I have dark brown, quite short eyelashes. I decided that the only way to tell if it did actually make a difference was to put it to the test! I put it on one eye (went on white at first and then darkened) and then about 30 seconds later put on my mascara (L'Oreal Lengthening Mascara). The primer went on fine. I only put on one coat. Then I just put on mascara on the other eye. About half an hour later, my husband walked through the door and I asked him if he could spot the 'primer plus mascara' eye. Poor guy! Happy to say he chose the 'correct' eye and said he could see a definite difference especially when I turned to the side. He tells it like it is so I knew he wasn't humoring me! I could see the difference too, but wanted to be sure that I wasn't just willing the difference! The primer came off easily with a mild make up remover.UPDATE: 2 days after using and writing this review my eyelids swelled up and itched like crazy in an allergic reaction. I've never experienced a reaction before to makeup and I use different brands: Benefit, L'Oreal, Revlon, Dior, Lancome etc. The reaction lasted three days. Another reviewer said this product contains a harsh chemical called PEG, but again, every experience is different and I just happen to be allergic to this primer. What a pity because it looked great on!

I purchased both the Primer and the Blink mascara and sooo glad I did! Way beyond good -it is GREAT !I use the primer in the morning under the mascara. Alittle goes a long way. Then follow with the mascara,again it does not take much. The results are beautiful. Long, silky AND thick !I take the mascara off at nite, after a day of no smudges, did not run in eyes wearing contacts, no burning etc.Comes off in little pieces, no black paint mess.I then put on this Blink Primer before I go to bed to nourish lashes.My lashes are longer by the day!This product is like a miracle......LOVE IT AND AMAZON FOR ALWAYS BEING ON THE CUTTING EDGE!!!THANK YOU

I really dislike this Lash Primer and only got it because I couldn't find the original, white Lash Primer anywhere anymore. Not sure if it's discontinued or what. My biggest complaint is that the applicator for this product is impossible to use. It only has like 4 rows of bristles and the shape is flat. This causes all the product to get caked on the flat sides of the brush. That's why so many people are complaining about this being messy. There's really no way to "brush" this on your lashes, you just have to lather it on and then use an eyelash separator to distribute it around. Also, the consistently is not like the white Lash Primer and if you try to apply mascara on top of this, it just cakes up even more. I've stopped using it. I'll probably just end up throwing it away, honestly. It's really more just a crappy mascara than a lash primer. I loved the way the white primer added volume and length to my lashes without drying them out. Also, the cost was the same and you got more product with the white primer.
