Blinc Mascara Amplified

What it is: A tube-forming, water-resistant mascara that gives buildable, glamorous volume with no smudging, flaking, running, or clumping. What it does: After almost a decade in development, Blinc Mascara Amplified provides incredible, buildable volume and length, all while offering their signature LifeProof properties of the original Blinc Mascara smudge-proof, sweat-proof, water-resistant, and flake-proof. As with the original, Mascara Amplified coats lashes with a glossy, volumizing and extending coat that forms tiny water-resistant “tubes” around the lash. But, unlike the first formula, this one applies more like a traditional mascara, giving you the ability to add as many coats as you want to build your desired look! Because it is not as wet of a formula, you can even go back and reapply if needed, after it dries. What else you need to know: Removing Blinc Mascara Amplified is just as easy, and requires no makeup remover. Simply apply a little warm water along with some gentle pressure, and the tubes easily slide off your lashes. You will actually see the tiny tubes in your hand as it comes off without leaving any messy black tint or residue behind.

HUGE disappointment
-05.23.13
Third week in the row I came in to buy the Fiberwig mascara, which is my favorite. Since it was unavailable, I was recommended the Blinc mascara. I hated it. It appeared completely dried out. Even as I would take the applicator out of the tube, a cloud of dry black flakes would settle itself on my fingers. When dragging across my lashes it would leave nothing on them. Was my mascara dried out or is this how it comes?!

I prefer this to the original Blinc
-05.18.13
Quick Take: lengthening
I have tried the original Blinc mascara and I liked it. My eyelids are soo oily, every other mascara, waterproof or not, always ran down my face. But I prefer the Mascara Amplified. Same no-smudge formula but the fatter fluffier brush does a better job of separating and lengthening my lashes.

A real improvement on the original formula
-05.17.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening, long-lasting, smudge proof, waterproof, perfect
Until I discovered blinc mascara, I had to frequently check my makeup throughout my busy day to make sure that I didn't have horrific smudges underneath my eyes. The original blinc formula was truly revolutionary in the world of mascara because it really doesn't smudge, allowing me to go all day and not have to worry about having raccoon eyes. My only criticism with the original formula was that it was too watery, and thus undid the manual curling of my lashes and did not allow me to build volume or length.
I was excited when I heard that blinc came out with this amplified formula and ordered it at once. The brush is ridiculously large and initially intimidating, but even with my short lashes, I can manage to apply the mascara without getting it all over my lids.
This product does what it promises - builds volume and length and like the original formula, does not smudge all day. For me, the search is over for the perfect mascara!

Somehow even better than reg Blinc!
-05.14.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining, longest lasting
I have loved and used the regular Blinc mascara for years very happily, often getting compliments on my long dark lashes (thanks to Blinc!) and the unbeatable staying power that no other formula competes with... Sleep in it, sweat in it, cry in it, you will never look like a raccoon!
However I wanted to try this new amplified formula to see if it was different. It has all the staying power of the old formula but allows more coats to be applied, and has a much bigger brush to get bigger lashes with lots of length. I absolutely get bigger lashes with the new formula, like fake lashes big if I want or you can do just one coat for a very natural no-makeup look for day-time. I don't find this clumpy, I guess some people do, but I don't believe they are really working the brush through their lashes properly. Overall, if you like a simple day look that lasts no matter what either blinc mascara would work for you but if you want the ability to be more dramatic go with the amplified. Be patient learn to use the formula and you will fall in love!

THE best mascara of all time EVER! :)
-05.14.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening, awesome!
This is THE best mascara you will ever use. HANDS DOWN!! I have been a loyal Blinc user for about 8 years now. When I saw that they had a new "amplified" formula, I was a bit hesitant to try it because I love the original so much. But I gave it a shot anyway and WOW!!! This stuff ROCKS!! Makes my lashes SO much thicker and longer. People ask me if I have eyelash extensions! I have NO CLUE what all of the negative reviews are about. Unless the reviewers just don't know how to use tube mascara. Like I said - I have been using Blinc for years and will never ever (EVER!) go back to anything else. Love, love, love, love, LOVE this product!! Would give it ten stars if I could! :)

I used to use the regular Blinc mascara, but I love this one even more. It comes off the same great way, but I can put on multiple layers to get a more dramatic look.

disappointed
-05.11.13
I came in to purchase fiber wig mascara only to find out you no longer carried the product. The clerk said that Blinc mascara was just like fiber wig. Not true, it does not add length or volume. Would never buy again. I also tried using a lash primer first, didn't help.

LIke Plain Blinc Better
-05.11.13
Quick Take: nothing special
I use the regular Blinc because every mascara on earth runs on me (very oily skin) and thought I'd try this one for the extra oomph....didn't really see any and I find this one seems to flake a little/irritate my eyes....also does not seem to remove as well as the original blinc.....but at least I don't have racoon eye after 3 hours.....will return to the original blinc

Not worth the hype
-05.11.13
Returned after a week - it lengthens your lashes, but provides no volume. Your lashes are longer - but they look thin without the volume.

best mascara ever!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening, smudgeproof
I have tried every mascara on the market and this is the best!I can't keep mascara on. I always end up w/ black smudges under my eyes. This stuff stays on my lashes, not my face. It isn't super heavy and gives you long, think, natural looking lashes.

blinc mascara - what mascara?
-05.06.13
Quick Take: ineffective
After application of several coats, I couldn't even tell I had any on. There were no lengthening or volumizing aspects of this product. I returned it.

wonderful!
-05.05.13
Quick Take: lengthening, defining, smudge-proof, curls
Tube mascara has been a wonderful discovery. My lashes are either too long (I know, boohoo :) and / or too much blinking... so smudged mascara under my eyes every single day. Aaanyway first I had bought some drugstore tube mascara. It did the trick. Later decided.to splurge on Blinc's Amplified tube... and wow! Most definitely worth the extra $. (And this is coming from someone who doesn't like to splurge on makeup!) The top feature is its clean applications... it also curls my bone-straight lashes. I only wish it were more volumizing but then the application might be less fine...

Bad purchase
-05.03.13
I use the regular Blinc mascara and have for years. Saw this and figured it should be good. Was I wrong! The brush is massive and barely coats your lashes. I feel like there is barely any mascara in the tube. I should have saved the packaging so I could have returned it. Going back to the original.

Amplified !
-05.02.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining
I really like this version of my old favorite. It's not quite so
"shiny" and I love the fact that you can apply many coats,
or just one. The more you apply, the more dramatic. One
coat is perfect for daytime.

Not what I'd hoped ....
-05.02.13
Quick Take: disappointing
This is the first product I've ever returned to Sephora, who were great about the refund process. I'm a huge djv Fiberwig mascara fan, but since it wasn't available, I thought I'd try Blinc. My tube seemed to have little product in it. I struggled to get any product onto my lashes. I have very short, sparse lashes that need a lot of help. This mascara was not the one for me. Lackluster, dry, no volume or length. Disappointing.

Not Good
-05.02.13
I returned this after using it a few times and finally being convinced that it wasn't a good purchase. I was hoping for a more dramatic look but the brush doesn't grab enough mascara for that. The result was very underwhelming and could've been accomplished with a cheaper mascara.

fantastic mascara that lasts the day and washes off with a few gentle swipes of your finger. not sure how long the tube will last as most tube mascaras only survive a few months of use before getting too clumpy, crumbly. but if it only lasts the 4 weeks i've been using it, so worth it.

Quick Take: defining
I love this mascara!
I've tried dozens of different mascaras but they all smudge under my eyes or on my eyelids...GROSS..or they need to be scoured off. This mascara DOES NOT SMUDGE or run and wipes off with warm water!!
I would be remiss if I didn't admit to being tempted by other brands...but always come back to Blinc!!
I should read this review whenever I begin to doubt that it is the best mascara!!

I love Blinc mascara because it doesn't budge until I take it off. This "Amplified" mascara is even better. It stays put just as well, but lengthens and thickens my lashes too. It's GREAT!

After I got home, opened package and started to read how you are to remove the mascara. Water and rub your eye lashes. No way I returned this product back to Sephora with no problems.
