Most Helpful Positive Review Great mascara I have average lashes and they are light brown. So I always look for separating and lengthening in a mascara. This mascara does exactly that. The first day I wore it was for a full day of hiking. It went on great, stayed all day, didn't flake and washes off easily with a gentle face cleanser. The packaging is lovely and while glass is unusual for mascara (don't drop it on your toe), I love that it's recyclable. I love Pacifica products and this is a great one. The price is obviously more than drug-store, but for vegan/cruelty free etc. and great quality, it is certainly worth it.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not for Straight Lashes I really wanted to try this product out because I kept seeing so many advertisements for it. It looked cute and I hadn't tried pacifica mascara before, only their lip oil. My lashes are quite straight even when I curl them but the ads showed the lash serum being a help with that. I took a chance and bought both the serum and the mascara. If your lashes are straight like mine, it isn't worth it. It's not the most expensive mascara but when you buy both the mascara and lash serum primer, it shouldn't instantly make your lashes weigh down. For the price and the watery formula I don't recommend it. Even with a light coat of the serum and one coats of mascara it instantly falls down. I also don't like that multiple mascara coats, for instance even just two, make the lashes clump up.

So, I just bought this on a whim, just wanting to give Pacifica a try. To my surprise I love this mascara. It's so good, it is a very wet formula, which is what I prefer. The only thing for me is the wand brush is very different from others I have tried but I just go very light handed with the first coat and then I'm able to build it up from there. And it's helped with my lashes actually growing cause I was trying another one before this and it ruined my lashes a little bit, but this formula seems to be conditioning and I love it. This is not a fake review, this is really just an amazing product for me.
Best I've ever used 5
Jen from Connecticut.
I am obsessed with this mascara. It doesn't make your lashes feel heavy and it doesn't clump. I am obsessed.
Great mascara! 5
RenaeH89 from Charlotte, NC
I use this mascara with the Pacifica primer lash serum and it's amazing. Gives me great length and volume. Stays all day. Doesn't flake or smudge. I'm always on the hunt for a good mascara and have tried cheap brands to high end and this is definitely one at the top of my list. Lancôme mascaras are still some of the best out there IMO but if you're looking for something cheaper that's going to give you a false lash look, than give this a try!
pretty disappointing 2
Mish from Seattle
Bought this after seeing all the shining reviews but was left pretty disappointed. The huge brush makes my lashes clump, and the mascara smudged before I was even done applying my eye makeup. Also not waterproof whatsoever, and gave me panda eyes after a single yawn. It's moisturising for sure, but that's just another way to say that the mascara doesn't hold a curl lol
LOVE 5
Katherine from Philadelphia
I love this mascara and I love this brand and what it stands for. Will repurchase! Love it with the primer too

meh from somewhere
I like the formula of this but the brush could have been better. it kinda makes my lashes clump together a bit and I prefer non spider leg lashes.
Fake Reviews got me to buy 3
Emily from San Diego
I gave this a try after seeing all these "great reviews"... not a good mascara. Doesn't lift lashes well, is wet and messy.
The only nice thing is packaging.

Worked great! 5
missyp from flint, mi
Went on easy. Loved the shape of the brush & it was lightweight. Lashes looked great! It doesn't seem to be great waterproof at all, but that doesn't really bother me. Overall, great product!
Love it! 5
andriamat from Puerto Rico
I don't know if this is the best mascara out there but it is amazing! You can layer up for more volume but it never looks too much. It surprised me that it doesnt leave clumps and even when you put a lot you can have that no-make up style for a more natural look. Easy to apply, glass but lightweight bottle, it feels luxurious. Definitely better than the other one they have "stellar gaze". This one is not waterproof so its easy to get off, but it lasts a lot during the day. Worth it!
Vegan mascara 5
Roberta from Ridgefield park, NJ
It is not clumpy and it actually curls my lashes just a bit and since I have to curl them normally this is great for me. Stays all day and looks fuller. Best vegan mascara for me
Amazing mascara 5
Bailey from California
I was so excited for this to come out, and Pacifica did NOT disappoint. It makes my lashes looks so long and isn't clumpy at all!! It also doesn't have that gross smell that many mascaras have.
Yaaaay 5

No raccoon eyes light weight
Extraordinarily Fantastic Mascara—GOOD STUFF! 5
CokoLoko from Seattle, Washington
I not only love how glossy and TOTALLY clump-free this mascara is, and the novel
shape of the wand, but I'm
a sucker for aesthetically pleasing packaging—even more so when it's made from recycled materials AND is recyclable. The glass vial feels sooo weighty and luxurious, plus the ombré shades of periwinkle and pale petal pink just
make me happy.♥️
(Got the serum, too, and it very much RULES!)
Fantastic & fluffy 5

MUST HAVE!! 5
Amber J from Covina, California
AMAZING! Mascara has always been my favorite makeup item & this exceed my expectations!!
Awful 1
Danielle from NH
I was so excited about this mascara, but it ended up being terrible. Barely does anything to my lashes at all! No volume, curl, lift, or length! It is honestly one of the worst mascaras I've ever purchased. Going to Ulta to return it today. I have no idea how it received 5 stars in the reviews. The quality of Pacifica products has drastically gone down in the past few years, and it's so disappointing…
Love! 5
Amy B from Phoenix
Love the brush shape! It does a great job grabbing and stretching out my lashes.
No smudging 5
Alyson from Sicily, Italy
I always have problems with mascara smudging no matter what kind it is or what I do. This one stays on great and does not smudge at all. The brush is awesome to, makes application easy and simple. Two thumbs up!
Need this brown or black/brown 1
jakg24 from Chester County, PA
Please offer this in brown or brown/black as well. Black mascara looks awful on me.
Fluff you up is right! 5
Tattoo Rosie from Northwest Mississippi
Just amazing. This is just as great as the twice the price mascaras - better even. Fluffy even more when used with the primer. Gorgeous lashes. Wears very well.
Not For Me 1
NNHarb64 from Birmingham, AL
This mascara was horrible for me - irritated my eyes, flaked horribly and just didn't go on well, took several coats to even show up. For a brand that is supposed to be vegan, natural, etc, i had high hopes for this but was soooo disappointed.
Best brush so far! 5
SirGrimmauldi from Ohio
This is my favorite mascara from Pacifica so far. The brush is the right size and doesn't pull out clumps from the tube, which means I don't get clumps on my lashes. It is a large sized product that will last me a long time, and I will likely save the brush once it's gone!
Fairly Meh 3
Tori from Louisiana
I love the idea of glass packaging, but the brush in person was even more concave than I expected. This made application quite difficult. I would also agree with another reviewer that the formula is somewhat watery. Interestingly about 4 ours after application I had a chiropractic appointment and laying on my stomach, the smudges were bad enough it was the first time they gave me a tissue to clean up my face.
