CLIO Cosmetics Kill Lash Mascara Is An Amazon Hidden Gem

Kill Lash Mascara from CLIO Cosmetics gets an A+.

Guys, I may have discovered not only the best Amazon mascara, but the best Korean mascara as well. CLIO Cosmetics Kill Lash Mascara 04 makes my lashes look bomb, plus it performs like a tubing formula. Lately, I’ve been all about tubing mascara so I am very much into this. A lengthening, lifting, volumizing formula with an easy removal? Sign me up!

Promises vs. Performance: Is this a tubing mascara?

CLIO Cosmetics Kill Lash Superproof Mascara promises an all day false lash effect with effortless removal. Superproof 04 Mascara has an oversized hourglass-shaped boar bristle brush that delivers volume, length, lift and curl. The buildable formula has a flexible hold that prevents lashes from feeling stiff. It’s long wear claims no smudging and no raccoon eyes, but the mascara removes easily with just warm water.

I can’t say I had heard much about CLIO Cosmetics Kill Lash Superproof Mascara before trying it. Honestly, I stumbled upon it on a late night Amazon perusal looking at top-rated makeup and decided to give it a try! I’m happy to report that this mascara deserves all the 5-star reviews. In fact, I can’t say there’s much I don’t love about this formula.

Starting off, this mascara brush is fairly large-and-in-charge, so definitely be careful when applying. It can be a bit messy because of the large brush, but its hourglass shape allows for an easy application that hugs each lash. The formula is buildable in terms of volume and pigment, but from the very first coat my lashes look instantly defined, lifted, and lengthened. It resists smudging, transfer, and flaking for an all day 8+ hour wear. I’m pretty convinced this is a tubing formula because of the way it wears and removes. It removes extremely easily with just warm water.

How It Compares: CLIO Cosmetics Kill Lash is a great Korean beauty mascara.

This random Amazon mascara impressed me. I had never heard of CLIO Cosmetics until I stumbled upon their Kill Lash Superproof Mascara. Specifically, the 04 Extreme Volume version. This mascara has an hourglass-shaped brush that hugs the lashes for an even, clump-free application. It instantly volumizes, lengthens, defines, and lifts for a false lash effect look. And not only does it make my lashes look great, it keeps them looking great all day. I experience very little (if any!) smudging, transfer, or flaking. Throw in an easy removal that just requires warm water and you have a nearly perfect mascara. Now, if only it was cruelty free!

Let’s compare to one of my favorite mascaras of all time: Lancome Lash Idole (rated ****4.5). Idole gives my lashes a false lash look without the falsies and applies beautifully. I love this formula because it does a little bit of everything: volumizes, lengthens, curls, and defines. It does all of this while having a long wear with minimal smudging/transfer or flaking.
