Besame Cake Mascara vs. Izzy Zero Waste Mascara vs. Milk Makeup Kush Mascara FULL REVIEW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Are you transitioning your makeup bag to zero waste makeup too? Today I'm reviewing a cult favorite, the Besame black cake mascara (a mascara block), and one that is FRESH on the market, the Izzy zero waste mascara, which is zero waste, refillable, recyclable, and even carbon neutral!). I will be reviewing the packaging, performance (how well does it take the heat? Does it transfer to the lower lid?) and brand ethos. Try some zero waste mascara with me! #zerowaste #zerowastemakeup #mascarareview #greenbeauty
Note: I "riddled" Izzy with the question of what mascara to use after you send yours back to be sterilized and refilled, but I realized after editing that they send you your refill and THEN you send back your old one. Brilliant!

![A Zero-Waste Mascara That *Actually* Works! [Izzy Mascara Review]](/img/1.gif)
I remember when my Mom and Grandmother used cake mascara. The one my Mom had was in a small rectangular tin that had a sliding lid. And the tin was sectioned for the brush and the mascara cake. It was red. I loved watching them do their makeup. My Mom thought the brush bristles were to long and trimmed them. when the containers were empty, Mom and Grams let me have them for my Barbies' shoes and other little treasures! Thanks for the memory! I have thought of those things in years.
Wow thank you so much for sharing! What beautiful memories 🥰
Maybelline had a similar product up until the 1970's. A very sustainable brand I am using is Westman Atelier.
I am suuuuper late to this video, but one thing that made me pick the Besame and maybe someone else will consider if they are like me; is the fact that for months at a time I don’t wear mascara even if I wear the rest of my makeup, and then one day I’ll get the urge and pick it up again. So I was honestly getting so stressed about the fact that for whatever long I was ignoring it bacteria was breeding inside the tube (I am paranoid about eye stuff I’m sorry I don’t want to make anyone feel bad or pressured) and my choices were throw away half used maybe still good mascara because it was past it’s expiration date, risk pinkeye, or buy sample-sizes which in the long run mean more plastic components to get rid off more often. Therefore as the besame mascara dries and that prevents bacteria from growing rampant (and I am guessing we can also wipe the top layer off with alcohol) I am not worried about the wasting part.
That's a really good point! The Besame should last longer. Do you have any tips for application?
@@CocoShin The toothbrush it comes with is a bit finicky so I got a reusable mascara/eyebrow brush (they sell them in their website, I didn’t want the eyeliner brush so I got mine from a beauty website in my country), bent it at a 45° angle so it fit better on the tin and I use that. I think the consistency is the most difficult thing to nail so I go veeeeeery slowly, drop by drop. Instead of wetting the brush and then activating the product I use one drop of water on the mascara then rub the brush in, if it’s too thick add one more drop, if it’s too thin rub a little more until it thickens.
This video was super helpful, Thanks so much! Definitely helped me decide, I think I'll give the Izzy a try!
Hope you like it! Just note that the tube is definitely overfilled. I wipe it off every time I use it.
Really love this video! Super informative 😊
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!
Your eyes colour is so stunning! 👀✨
Thank you!
Yes! Please review more Izzy and Zero waste makeup! I really want to get into it, but it’s hard to know where to start or which products are goos
I review zero waste beauty, mostly makeup and some skin care on my youtube! I would love if you would check it out and subscribe! Join my growing family
Hi! New viewer here, came to see about the izzy mascara. I'm also working towards moving to a more sustainable lifestyle. I would suggest salt new york if you have not yet tried! Thanks for the review! I would say that the izzy is about the same price as replacing a high-end mascara every few months after the expiration date... so certainly more expensive than drugstore, but if I can choose between $20 a tube for sustainability or just a regular lux brand the choice is clear. I do hope they have better mini's or trials for people to test it out!
That's a really good point! And I'll check out Salt New York. I love getting suggestions!
I can attest that Salt New York is AMAZING. I love their contour color for my fair skin and their Sneaky Balm is an incredible skin tint. THe Izzy Mascara is quickly becoming one of my staple products! I review these items and more zero waste/low impact beauty on my RUclips channel!
Thanks for this review.Zero waste is $6 on boxycharm right now.
Nice! The performance comparison was really helpful.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Lmk if you would like to see some other comparisons!
thanks for putting this video out! ive heard about the PFAs and i was worried about it, especially for mascara
Yeah, I only recently heard about them being in makeup. Wild! I hope we can have more safe makeup options in the near future.
Great vid love! ❤️
All the better to bat my eyes at you!
Oooh this was so fun! I've been searching for zero waste mascara and it was so fun to see multiple options! It's honestly so fun to empty out a wasteful (or toxic) product and get a natural and eco version! For the cake mascara, do they always send a brush or can you order without? I think I'd rather just use an old wand
Yay! I had you in mind when I made the video because I know you were looking for a zero waste mascara. There is one option to just order the mascara cake, so if you have a container for it, this is a good option. Unfortunately, the tin and the brush are bundled together so if you get the tin you must get the brush. Maybe if you write to them you can tell them you want to opt out of the brush though and they can keep it?
@@CocoShin I wil try writing to them and see what I can do! Maybe that will be one of my July letters ;)
@@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist That's a good idea!
my mascara lasts forever because i dont always wear makeup. does that mean i HAVE to return the mascara after 90 days? what if i wanted to wait like, 6 months instead of 3?
Honestly, I'm not sure about extending the subscription duration. Maybe you can reach out to them and find out!
On the website it says you can pause for up to 3 months so I’m assuming you can keep it for 6 months
Wipe the excess mascara on the back of your hand
‘You know what else is cute’ 🤣. I’ve tried that milk mascara before and the same thing happened to me too. The Izzy brands model seems awesome!
Hehehe Yeah, I can't wait to see what they come up with next!
Mascara lasts me years!! So yeah, I don't like how there's such a large supply as far as Izzy and pretty much every mascara brand , but I would probably go with that one if I could afford it!
Yeah, it's funny, right? I don't understand why there is always so much more product than we need, but I feel this is true across all beauty products. Like, when was the last time you finished all of the eyeshadows in one pallete?
@@CocoShin Literally never😅
That reusable packaging tho!
Ikr love it!
Its amazing, right? Izzy's products are so innovative!
You have a lovely smile.
Why, thank you! 😄
