I came across this video while looking for the next waterproof mascara to buy and I see that a lot girls here worry about taking waterproof mascaras off. I've been using plain old almond oil to remove my eye make up for years. It works great and takes off every mascara. Trust me.

[@mas905]

Thank you for the two cruelty-free options Nyx and Essence. I no longer support any big companies like Maybelline and L'Oreal that still perform archaic animal testing. Thank you for the no-ads-during and the hints on how to remove! 💜

[@stephv1202]

thank you for this list. i have been using regular, waterproof elf for years but it is not always easy to find and i am happy to try something new. your market research is appreciated❣️

[@silvercurlszelda]

Thank you so much for these! I don't wear mascara at this point, but when I do I wanted to find something that was simple and waterproof.

[@Bearcub599]

Thank you! Great reviews on waterproof mascaras which I wear all the time.

[@sarahdoanpeace3623]

Lash Princess is my new mascara obsession!! It’s truly spectacular!!! I use it everyday now! Maybeline is always great, too! Always a joy to see/watch you Bobbie! You’re so beautiful! Hope you had a fabulous 4th of July! Thank you for another wonderful, helpful and joyful video!

[@marinouechat]

thank you for this video!! helped me choose a mascara ❤

[@venust.4119]

Thanks for that, I'm always on a lookout for a good waterproof mascara myself. They just hold a curl better in a humid climate and smudge less. I like the lash princess one. The one i couldn't recommend enough is Maybelline lash discovery. I love it!

[@jennifergoodwin2844]

Hi Bobbie. I was ready for a new mascara & after watching this video I chose to try the Essence Lash Princess. I am extremely happy with the product & the fact that it is affordable & that it really does NOT smudge in amazing! Thank you for your videos, they are greatly appreciated. (I'm planning on trying the Milani Stay Put Eyeliner next) xx

[@sandraherrera8351]

Great video ! I just subscribed to your channel. I am 61 years young with short, sparse lashed AND oily hooded eyes to make it worse. I recently started using waterproof mascara because they hold the curl better. I use PONDS cold cream makeup remover (with green lid) and follow with Neutrogena blue bottle remover.

[@KylaRose2082]

This video was soooo helpful! Thank you! Also, you have beautiful eyes ❤

[@Lisa-yg9tn]

Thanks, I’m always on the look out for smudge proof mascara. L’Oreal Bambi Eyes is also a great mascara. I would love a version about eyeliner. I have the hardest time finding a good eyeliner that doesn’t smudge.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I don’t use much eyeliner so I’m not sure if I would make a great video for that but I am starting to experiment a bit.

[@martimar7181]

I’ve used L’Oréal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara for 30 years, and I’ve always used baby oil on a damp cotton round to take it off. Essence is my back-up. 🥹

[@sharonczalbowski457]

Bobbie that Colossal one looked really pretty on you. Probably cause it gave both length and volume. Which is what I like. I'm willing to try Essence again. Maybe waterproof will work for me better than the others I've tried from that brand. I recently saw a video on the Milani mascara I heard is good. Can't remember if it was waterproof. Anyway thanks for showing all drugstore. Happy 4th 💥🗽🎆

Hey Lena, what do you use to remove your mascara? Have you tried elf melting bomb or Clinique take the day off?

@@MindfulMidlifeI use the pf cleansing balm or the dhc cleansing oil & just take my time to work it in & it eventually all comes out.

Great video! I always have the problem with mascara even the waterproof ones smudging under my eyes...L'Oréal Voluminous is the only one this never happens with! I love it! I use Purity by Philosophy to remove it and all my makeup.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Try putting your eye primer under your eye and then lightly powder to set.

[@janes8863]

Just remember a lot of mascara says waterproof be sure to check the list of ingredients if WATER is listed it is NOT waterproof.

[@kellyburnett1833]

I have the same thing with my eyelashes, I always have to curl them first and I use the blow dryer trick to warm up my curler. I have to use waterproof or they just fall..I have used the Maybelline Rocket lash , I saw another KZbin video that said the curl bounce was good, so I plan on trying it. Love your videos. 😊

[@MindfulMidlife]

I’ve never tried Maybelline‘s rocket mascara. I may have to try that.

[@bryannalujan1664]

[@judytax9887]

I use maybelline full and soft waterproof and have for years. I don’t like a lot of mascaras that others rave about because they clump on me. Love your videos!!! Just recently found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. Your hair is beautiful!!!!!! I’ve been going through hormonal hair loss and it’s so frustrating. Using minoxidil and going to try a red light to see if that helps. Thank you for sharing with us!!! ❤️

[@MindfulMidlife]

I understand about the hair loss it’s so frustrating. I have been using a hair helmet from IRestore for the past 6 to 7 months. It has literally stopped my hair from shedding. I haven’t seen much regrowth yet but I’m not sure if I should at this point. It’s not a cheap thing at all but I am really happy that my hair has stopped falling out. I did do a video on the helmet a few months ago so you may want to look at that video to see what it is.

[@judytax9887]

@@MindfulMidlife I did see that video. It’s a little pricey for me but am going to try something a cheaper and see what happens. I have to wonder if I had Covid and didn’t know it since so many people are seeing hair loss as a side effect. Here’s to a full head of hair!!! 🥂

[@Karlucci7]

Thank you so much for this video! I have to use eye drops every two hours and wear full face of makeup every day. Waterproof Mascara is a must for me.

[@pamelawolf313]

My eyes night and day, so I NEED waterproof everything. My problem is, my lashes are so short that I can’t use a big bristled brush. Good luck 🍀 finding that. (Plus waterproof and brown, forget about it) lol makeup struggles. Lol 😊TY for this video

[@mariad7915]

I always find the mascara videos interesting, especially the waterproof. I only wear waterproof because I'm such a cryer, happy or sad. :D What I find most interesting is how one waterproof is great for one person and not the other when it comes to flaking or smudging. Also for me, I'm sensitive to the bristles and find CG and Essence hurt. :P Essence Lash Princess, any Essence doesn't work for me, neither does L'Oreal's original wp Voluminous or Maybelline's Falsies Lift. I really need to try Maybelline's Bounce. Maybelline's Colossal 36hr WP works great, but must be the 36hr. Also I found these to hold up to my tears and a give me a lash I like, sometimes thick and full and sometimes more natural/easier to remove mascara: Maybelline's Full n Soft, Snapscara, Revlon's Volumazing, L'Oreal's Lashlifting and Air Volume. Buxom is my favorite. First time a higher end beat out a drugstore. However, not enough to buy unless half off. :)

[@MindfulMidlife]

It is so weird how we all are so different. I’m glad you found ones that works for you Maria.

[@miscedezshaw86]

Thank u for that, I brought that princess because everyone talked so good about it. But it transferred and smudged under my eyes.

[@noemimatias3729]

Great video 👍🏼 Which one do you find the easiest to remove?

[@MindfulMidlife]

I find all of them pretty easy to remove with an oil cleanser like Clinique Takes the day off melting balm or elf melting balm.

[@Cremidoe]

I was wondering about how easy these are to remove? One of the reasons I avoid waterproof mascara is because of how hard they can be to remove.

[@kellyburnett1833]

I have to use waterproof, and I hate removing it. The best trick I have found is to let the makeup remover sit a little before using any water, and then I gently swipe most off with my clean fingers and I use Almay makeup lotion. Then I just use a washcloth and gently swipe to remove the rest. If I still have some , I use a qtip to get the rest. I always use a lash conditioner after I am done. That is just my way of doing it ,and not losing lashes in the process.

[@debbyritchie2608]

Just use an oil cleanser or an eye makeup remover for waterproof mascara.

[@MindfulMidlife]

My favorite eye make up remover is Clinique take the day off. It works amazing! If you want a cheaper way of taking it off you can use elf make up remover balm or Clean It zero melting balm. all of those use an oil to get the make up off and it works great.

[@orosco97]

@@kellyburnett1833 Would you mind sharing what lash conditioner you use? Thanks!

[@kellyburnett1833]

@@orosco97 Hi..I use Select Lash Eyelash Serum...it goes on like mascara .it is clear .it has no fragrance and it never feels sticky or crunchy ..I feel it conditions lashes. I think Sally Beauty Supply store may sell it ?? I usually get it from eBay. Even if I don't wear mascara that day..I still use it before I go to sleep. I have really sensitive eyes and this has never burned or done anything to make my eyes hurt.

[@beverlydenton1425]

I love waterproof but I have a difficulty in removing it what would you recommend

[@palpak06]

Which one is the easiest one to remove ?

[@ACottageGirl]

I’m terrified of waterproof mascaras… I don’t know how to remove them without tugging on my skin, using a ton of makeup remover that ends up stinging, and losing eyelashes. I’ve been experimenting with tubing mascaras… no smudging, mostly no flaking and {should} remove easily with warm water and no tugging. Downside, most cause my curl to droop unless I have a lash lift. Would love to see how you remove these. Happy 4th!

[@MindfulMidlife]

I remove my mascara using clean it zero. I get it at Ulta. I also love Clinique take the day off melting balm. It works amazing on waterproof mascara‘s.

[@scarletthegreat]

Remember, WATERproof products aren't going to be removed with water-based makeup remover. You want to opt for oil based removers, and once your makeup is all off you can then use your regular face wash. ❤

[@melissanelson1975]

Do you like the sky high mascara?

[@lintej]

Thanks for this review! For whatever reason, I've avoided waterproof mascaras. Now I find out that maybe it's the reason my lashes won't hold a curl. Go figure! LOL! Much appreciated!

[@MindfulMidlife]

I wish so much that my lashes would hold a curl but sadly they don’t. Try out some waterproof ones and see if it works better for you.

[@abigailmorales5949]

I have problem finding a mascara that doesn’t smudges under the eyes. Do this ones work?

[@eli4delmar]

What about flaking? Which is the least flakey?

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Bobbi I tried the Essence and it was a smudgy mess on me lol - in fact the waterproof smudged worse than the regular which also smudges. I have rosacea and some eye involvement from that - causes dry eye (very watery eyes) when in a flare. I've been using some tubing mascaras which are working fairly well. They have to be removed with WARM water, so my normal watery eyes don't break them down and they last pretty well for me. Curl isn't really an issue, as I have curly hair and my lashes are never straight either. Tubing mascaras aren't overly volumising, but they lengthen really well and give a pretty fanned out effect on the lashes. Best wishes.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I’m glad you found one that works for you. The tubing kind don’t work at all for me! It’s funny how we all are so different.

[@wendybrown3502]

Wonderful video Bobbie! I have used some of these and love them too! I want to try some of these great suggestions. I absolutely have to use waterproof also. I'm currently using a combo of Loreal Lash Paradise, and Maybelline Sky High. They work great together. Love your channel! Happy 4th!❤💙🇺🇸
