I love Kiehl's and I could happily use only Kiehl's for the rest of my life. To quote Jill "I have a fantasy of walking in there and stocking my whole bathroom with the stuff." I remember when Kiehl's came out with lip glosses, I was so excited. Make-up! From Kiehl's! If you've never tried their glosses, you should. They're great.
Kiehl's released their Marvellous Mineral Mascara not long ago and I got to try it in black recently. Here's what you should know about it:
- made with minerals for rich colour
- uses Acacia Senegal for length and volume
- made with jojoba oil for conditioning
- safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers
- fragrance-free
- paraben-free
- comes in Black and Black Brown
- $16.50 US for 0.16 fl.oz
The brush is long with thin bristles and is a fair size. Since the mascara itself doesn't have a thick consistency and isn't meant to give you crazy, thick, long lashes, this is a good brush. In fact this is one of the better brush/mascara pairings I've found.

This is a natural mineral mascara and if you know Kiehl's you know already it's not meant to give you much more than a natural lash look, as I've already mentioned. Here it is on me:
Top lashes only.
See, very natural.

Overall, I would recommend this mascara for anyone looking for a good-for-you, gentle, natural-looking mascara. It goes on very easily and is remarkably soft once dried. Touch your lashes once it's dry and you'll be amazed, especially if like me, you've never used a mostly natural or all-natural mascara before.
When I got some on my eyelids as I always do, it came off very easily which gives it high points in my book. It also smells nice - not a strong scent but what's there is pleasant. As you might expect as well, this mascara comes off very easily too. I didn't notice any fallout or smudging any of the times I've worn it and it's humid where I live right now. I should note that I very rarely notice smudging with my mascara though.
To recap, this is a great natural mascara and if you like wearing mascara but have sensitive eyes or delicate lashes, this is perfect for you. I personally like a more dramatic lash most days but I'll use this on less dramatic lash days!
