Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Both my daughter and I tried this for a few days and loved it.

Pros:

BRUSH: The brush is easy to use--it has many tiny bristles on it that make the mascara easier to put on without getting globs of black liquid sticking lashes together.

LIQUID: The liquid itself seems to dry quickly once applied. My biggest problem with mascaras in the past has been the spread of wet liquid onto my upper eyelid once I open my eye, but that didn't happen with this mascara.

RUBBING: I tend to rub my eyes a lot, and I expected the mascara to spread with the rubbing. Again, that didn't happen.

WASHING: Both my daughter and I washed it off at night in seconds. Even without soap, it came off very easily, and my eyelashes didn't sport that "I wore mascara last night" look.

Cons:

PACKAGING: The packaging is not very exciting or colorful. I assume Covergirl wanted the promote the natural ingredients in the product by giving the bottle a "green" look, but it ended up looking like something from the seventies instead of from this decade. I thought Covergirl would have a little more creativity than that. Nevertheless, the bottle is a regular size and easy to fit into a makeup purse.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Covergirl has made a very natural looking, average mascara with this new Natureluxe Mousse Mascara. I have tried many different mascaras since the 60's and this one is nothing new to me. Covergirl has blended synthetic polymers with beeswax and this has made a very waxy, thin mascara that doesn't do a whole lot to make nice thick lashes. The mascara is waxy thin and takes a while to build up on your lashes with the tiny comb. Due to the thin wax, you don't get clumps and it also removes easily. This mascara is for someone who wants to look very natural with just a thin coat on your lashes. I personally like my lashes longer and coated more, as I like a heavier look with my eyeliner. I will just stick to my old dependable Revlon mascara which always gives me long, black lashes.

Best Deals on Covergirl Natureluxe Mousse Mascara, 0.27-Ounce

I was drawn by the name Naturelux but when I read the ingredients, I saw that this is very far from nature. The parabens (Methylparaben, Ethylparaben)are by far the worst. You can do the research and find that parabens have been linked to cancers, allergic reactions, and altering hormone levels. I also know that the Cetearyl Alcohol in it can actually cause a dependency on the mascara, leading you to need more of it to achieve the look you want because it can weaken your lashes over time. I personally know that when I use a product with any alcohol in it my skin gets red, dry, and flaky after I stop using it and my lashes get breakage from mascaras with it in it. Good luck!

Here the ingredients are for you.

Water, Beeswax, Cetearyl Alcohol, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Shellac, Ceteareth-20, Glycerin, Tapioca Starch, Alcohol Denat., Lecithin, Ethylparaben, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Ammonium Hydroxide, Sodium Gluconate, Iron Oxides. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide.

Honest reviews on Covergirl Natureluxe Mousse Mascara, 0.27-Ounce

I'm a fair skinned blonde with VERY long eye lashes. So I like for them to stand out, but my hair & lashes are naturally fine so I'm very picky about the way my mascara applies. I recently started using the Covergirl Nature Luxe foundation and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it so I bought the mascara expecting to be happy, but I'm really not.

This is one of those mascaras, and any of you ladies who are also blessed with the long lashes will get this, that clumps all your lashes together. So I apply this mascara, and it basically looks like I have 5 super thick strands of black hair coming out of my eyelid. Typically, ladies usually prefer a line of thick, lush lashes across their eye lids not 5 huge lashes. I don't think it's the mascara formula, I'm pretty sure it's the applicator brush that causes this, but I HATE it. I can't stand looking in the mirror and seeing all my lashes clumped into just a few lines. I own an eyelash comb, too, but for whatever reason it doesn't help, this brush & formula likes to stick together. Yuck, it's not an attractive look. It's unfortunate, too, because I honestly think I'd really like this formula if the applicator wasn't so bad at spreading my lashes apart.

Skip this stuff, go with another brand. (Though I still adore the Nature Luxe foundation!)

I have not used this product but I am going through the cosmetics sold on Amazon randomly to check the accuracy of the claims and transparency of listing all ingredients. I believe everyone needs to know what they are putting on and in their bodies, especially the eye area.

When I went to review CoverGirl Naturelux Mousse Mascara, I first went to EWG.org Skin Deep database and found this product listed. I am using the "Black" color in this review.

I am happy that Covergirl (or the seller) opted to list all of the ingredients for this product. Several products I have reviewed either did not disclose or were deceptive in describing their products contents.

Unfortunately, this product is anything but natural (although the FDA has very low standards for the "natural" description so a lot of companies are allowed to get away with using this label incorrectly. Just because it has Water and Beeswax as the 1st and 2nd ingredients does not make this entirely safe or inert). EWG.org gave this product an overall rating of "4" on their toxicity scoring (moderate) from 1 being low hazard to 10 being high hazard. The data on each ingredient is listed with their potential for health hazards and side effects. Here are some of the concerns with this product. For the sake of brevity, I am listing only those things with a higher "moderate" score (5-4).

High concerns: Multiple additive exposure sources, contamination concerns, irritation (skin, eyes, lungs). Occupational hazards (in the manufacturing of the product) and persistence and bioaccumulation.

Benzyl alcohol (5) Potential for allergies/immunotoxicity, organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), Occupational hazards and use restrictions. Data on this ingredient is rated as "fair" meaning there are enough studies to support these claims but there is not an overwhelming body of evidence to give the data a "robust" score (this simply means that there are studies cited, but not enough review has been completed to definitively say this is either benign or hazardous. Existing studies support ongoing concerns regarding this ingredient)

Alcohol Denatured (4) Enhanced skin absorption, cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, Multiple additive exposure sources and organ system toxicity (non-reproductive). Data on this ingredient is rated as "fair" meaning there are enough studies to support these claims but there is not an overwhelming body of evidence to give the data a "robust" score (this simply means that there are studies cited, but not enough review has been completed to definitively say this is either benign or hazardous. Existing studies support ongoing concerns regarding this ingredient)

Phenoxyethanol (4) Allergies/immunotoxicity, Irritation (skin, eyes, lungs), Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), Occupational hazards, use restrictions . Data on this ingredient is rated as "fair" meaning there are enough studies to support these claims.

On the website sciencelab.com I checked the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) on the third ingredient, cetearyl alcohol. It lists this as an irritant for the skin and eyes. So why would CoverGirl use this as their 3rd ingredient on mascara?

I then checked "Shellac". The MSDS sheet lists the following: "Potential chronic health effectshazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant)." With mascara commonly used daily, why would this be the 5th ingredient if it is a potential irritant?

These ingredients will not affect everyone in the same way due to the unique biological makeup of each person (no pun intended). However, there are people who are acutely sensitive to these and other chemical ingredients and it is important to check up on these prior to application and make your own decision on what you want to do.
