"Very good mascara I have had laser eye treatment so my eyes are very sensitive and there was no reactions at all,very good will use again."
Pamela, Rochdale
"I use this everyday. Very light mascara that gives eye lashes a natural look. More layers can be applied to thicken and lengthen but I prefer the natural look. Mascara doesn't clump and it is easy to remove. After removing mascara eye lashes always feel very soft and conditioned. Would definitely recommend."
Liani, London
"Love this! Have noticed in the past that some mascaras give me sore eyes 'the morning after' but this is great. Goes on well yet easy to remove too."
Emma, Torquay
"Nice product. Easy to use and stays on well. Smaller package than regular mascara, which makes it less value for money, but easier to carry. We'll see how long it lasts."
Laura, Lightwater
"I don't really remember if I tried the thickening or the conditioning one, it was included in my order as a free gift.
It was blackened brown, same as my own lash and hair colour, so it looked very natural. It's dark enough to define the eyelashes, but not too heavy and you can always add a second coat for more volume - perfect for everyday use! It's free from chemicals, non-irritating and I think I even noticed an improvement in my eyelash growth after several applications! It goes on smoothly, doesn't flake and I don't need an eye make-up remover to take it off because it can be easily washed away."
LK
"Superb mascara. Goes on like a dream, never clumps, and is equally great for a daytime subtle look or a more dramatic evening look as it works really well if you want to put on extra coats. My only advice is to invest in a good natural make-up remover as it didn't come off that great when I just used my facial cleanser and water. It's far more expensive than I would normally spend on a mascara, but I don't think I'd use anything else now. I've always found a lot of mascaras to clump, smudge and generally not make the most of my eyelashes, and chemical mascaras can make my eyes weep and itch, but not any more! Well done, Sukicolor!"

Pernilla, HELSINKI
"i really like this mascara it doesnt leave your lashes clumpy like some mascaras, doesnt last amazingly, but enough. exspensive for size, but good quality.

Lydia, Beeston
"it doesn't give my eyelashes the thicknes I would like to have, but it definitely doesn't irritate my eyes, and I would reccomend it to my friends. "
Adrijana, Zagreb
"Great mascara, just like all the others I used to buy from the high street. However this does not have all the harmful chemicals. I havent had the problems with the slow drying or the loose packaging personally! Im quite happy with it, but i am giving it 4 stars only because I feel it should be a little cheaper"
Eleni, London
"Great product doesnt effect my eyes at all which normal mascaras do, you need to take your time applying as it can clog but overall I am pleased with it and will buy again."
Lyn, Hull
"This is a brilliant product, ive been using it now for over 2 years. my skin is exceptionally sensitive to most cosmetics, even some natural ones, but I have never had a problem with this product. And its also a very good quality mascara that gives a lovely finish"
Grace Marie, Chorley
"Like the fact that there are no harmful chemicals in this mascara, but not very lash lengthening. But as a natural look does the job."
Beryl, Blandford Forum
"Nice brown black colour, lovely bottle, needs lots of applications to get fuller effect but no clumping or clogging. easy removal."
Pauline, Berkhamsted
"This mascara was my first experience of a natural mascara. It applied easily & did not clump on my eyelashes. However, I found after a few hours it had drifted off my eyelashes & was a black smudge under my eyes. It is also very subtle, so better for daytime use."
Andrea, Hitchin
"I just want to write to let you know how delighted I am with your Living Nature cosmetics. I have been using your eye shadow and mascara for a few months now and find them both very easy to apply and long lasting. I look forward to trying more of your beautiful range of colours and skincare products. It is wonderful to know that they have all been created with such loving care, both for women and for the future. Thank you so much for your wonderful range, which I can thoroughly recommend to everyone."
Janice Laxton
"OK....but doesn't make my lashes look anywhere near as thick as the ""high street"" brand I'd been using before - and it smudges really quickly - by mid-morning I look like I've used eye-liner....so at least I don't have to buy eyeliner!"
Helen, Peterborough
"Bought the black which gives a very natural look, fine if like me you just want colour and no special effects.
According to the packaging, one side of the brush is designed to separate & lengthen and the other to thicken & volumise lashes, although I havent noticed this in effect. It is a rather thick brush, which could maybe be a problem if lashes are very short.
Have had some smudging and for this reason find it best for everyday use rather than nights-out ."
Mary, North East
"The black is nice and almost shiny. But it takes so long to dry. This means if I blink at all while it's drying, I have stripes on my upper eye and have to wreck my eyeshadow removing the mascara that's there. I also need at least 3 coats and it doesn't work well applying the coats while the previous coat is still wet so there is an awful long wait between coats and then each new coat risks getting striped eyes. It also doesn't seem to do much for length but is nice for volume.
This would have 4 stars if it dried quicker. And 5 stars if 2 coats was enough."
Chris, Saskatoon
"Smeels great and goes on really, really well. However, by the end of the day, small pices flake off onto your face and your lashes drop doen-leaving you looking like you have no mascara on-shame.
Comment from mypure: We haven't heard of this problem before, the mascara shouldn't flake off. Have you had the mascara long and is it still within the use by date ? If use by date is ok and you're still not happy with the product pls return it to us for a refund or exchange..."
Katie, Watford
"This is an update to my previous review. After using this for several months I am still of the opinion that it dries much, much too slow. It makes a mess of my eye shadow daily as you can't open open your eyes fully for up to about 5 minutes so you have to walk around with your eyelids all droopy so your eyelashes don't touch your upper lid.
Also, the wand inside the lid gets loose over time. My daughter's got so loose that she couldn't even use the mascara as it just wobbled when trying to put it on and made it difficult to get back in the tube. She ended up having to throw hers out a month after getting it. Mine has just become loose now after a few months of use.
Alva really needs to figure out better packing for their items. We've owned 2 concealers and 2 mascaras and all 4 tubes have broken in some way.
I won't be buying Alva again until they resolve their packaging issues."
Chris, Saskatoon
"I received my order recently and would like to comment on the mascara and the facial wash. I did not like the mascara as it's forms clumps on the eyelashes. I also did not like the face wash as it does not lather and is difficult to remove, leaving the skin with an oily sheen.
Sorry.
I did like the sample shampoo though!"
Lilian, East Grinstead
"I bought this product as I an attempt to limit the chemicals I was using in my cosmetics. Although the mascara went on nicely, it was all down my face and off my lashes within three hours. I had to reapply several times during the day and be very aware of the mascara build up under my eyes and in the corners. After a few days I stopped using it. If you have the patience, good luck with it.
Comment from mypure:
