REVIEW: Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara

July 2025 UPDATE: Before remote work and video conferencing became the norm, we featured Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara. It is a vegan mascara containing lash growth peptides typically found only in eyelash growth serums. It also conditions lashes while you wear it. And it doesn’t flake! We don’t mind wearing mascara at home since we are also growing lusher, thicker lashes!!!

Vegan Mascara with Grow Peptides for Zoom?

Need to be Zoom ready pronto? Proper makeup for remote working and video conferencing is tricky.

While we have favored toned-down, neutral eye for video conferencing, we still require some mascara to look alert and like we haven’t just woken up.

But wearing mascara to work at home feels like a big commitment. We now appreciate Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara with a new set of eyes, so to speak.

Read below a reboot of our original article to learn about this vegan goodie with lash growing peptides and natural lash enhancers.

The mascara tube is made from a form of sugar cane plastic.

ABOUT Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara

Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara is a clean beauty makeup product that contains the lash growth peptides of a lash growth serum. It also has the conditioning factors of oils known for making hair, brows, and lashes look thick and lush.

And on top of that, it is actually a well-wearing, smooth application mascara in an adorable tube.  It comes with a volumizing brush.

One coat for a lush but natural lash look, two coats for serious volume.

The mascara tube material is made from an eco-friendly bioresin sugarcane-based form of plastic! How innovative!

Regular Style Chicks readers know we are pretty fussy about mascaras. We are excited to find a vegan flake-free mascara that does lash growth serum double-duty!

Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara thinks its’ a lash Serum

Lots of mascaras SAY they condition while you wear it.

But Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara actually IS a lash growth product. It contains a special lash growth ingredient typically found in pricey lash growth serums.

Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara contains Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, a combination peptide that helps lashes grow.

Check out this natural yet effective ingredient list:

What Are Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara Ingredients?

Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17

Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is a combination peptide that helps lashes grow. It delivers Keratin proteins to eyelashes and eyebrows.

Keratin is a building block of eyelash hairs.  When lashes are healthy, they can grow longer. When nourished, lashes also look softer. Testing shows that this results in an increase in lash thickness and growth.

Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 guides cell growth and growth factor secretion. This can thicken and enhance the appearance of lashes and eyebrows. It makes them look thicker and fuller.

Sweet Almond Oil conditions lashes

Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet Almond Oil is a light oil, it contains proteins and vitamins A, B, D, and E.

It provides protection and shines to even fine, lackluster lashes.

Sweet Almond Oil protects delicate lashes and combats brittleness. Brittleness a huge barrier to meaningful lash growth.

It also gives lashes a natural sheen.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E conditions dry and brittle lashes.

Within a mascara formulation, it can condition the lash without clogging the lash root.

Rice Bran

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax

Otyza Sativa comes from Rice Bran. This provides a mascara base. It is also an emollient softening agent because of its natural fatty acids, squalene, and phospholipids.

Because it has a high melting point, it helps mascara not flake or smudge. It is also not an eye irritant like Beeswax can be for sensitive eyes.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a natural humectant derived from plants. It helps lashes retain precious moisture and appear slightly plumper.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Seeds

Jojoba Seeds

Jojoba Oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats so it can penetrate the hair follicle.  It gives elasticity and softness to hair including eyelashes.

It is also a carrier oil. This increases the efficacy of other active ingredients. It nourishes both the lash follicle root and smoothes damage to dry lash tips.

TriglycerideTriglyceride is a fatty acid that moisturizes the lashes.

What it does NOT contain

Mad Hippie Mineral Mascara is free of:

  • silicone
  • petrochemicals
  • parabens
  • perfume
  • SLS
  • phthalates
  • animal ingredients
  • animal testing
  • synthetic colors

Why Use a Hair Straightener Brush for Better Hair Styling

REVIEW: Why Use a Hair Straightener Brush for Better Hair Styling featuring BeKind Anion Hair Straightener Brush

Love smooth, straight hairstyles but hate hair damage? The BeKind Anion Hair Straightener Brush quickly straightens hair in a fast, safe and hair-healthy way. It uses Ionic technology to reduce frizz and lock in moisture. It straightens my curly, waist-length hair in under 15 minutes!
Hair Straightener Brush

BeKind Straightener Brush comes with many hair tools to help you get professional styling results at home

The BeKind Anion Hair Straightener Brush uses ion technology for frizz-free, healthier hair. The brush combines ionic heat with ceramic bristles to reduce heat damage. It won’t scald hair with hot spots

Why It Is Special

BeKind engineers spent six months developing this easy-to-use hair straightener brush. It uses two proven methods to straighten hair with the least stress and damage.

ionic technology

An anion is a negatively charged ion. BeKind uses ion technology in the form of an Upgraded Anion Generator. By producing countless negative ions that pass over the hair, it removes static electricity. Meanwhile, it styles hair without drawing away moisture. The result is frizz-free, healthier hair.

Ionic technology lends towards a stronger, longer-lasting style that is shinier and sleeker.

MCH Heating Technology

MCH stands for metal-ceramic heater. Ceramic provides a constant & stable heat without burning the hair surface. It won’t overheat like aluminum metal flat iron plates. The heat stays even and hair doesn’t get scorched. Hair won’t snag or stick to the coated bristles.

Ceramic also requires less time to style hair so there is less risk of damaging hair.

Hair Straightener Brush

No snag bristles smooth hair without tugging on it.

While it heats up, I use the included brush, pins, and clips to brush and section off my dry hair. Smaller sections give the smoothest results.

The BeKind Anion Hair Straightener Brush is lightweight and ergonomically designed. Even when I hold it overhead, it doesn’t tire out my arms while styling. I love getting professional hair salon results at home quickly and without hair damage.

It doesn’t overheat or scald hair. I find it safer to use than a curling or flat iron. The included silicone glove prevents burning my hand during use.

The carrying case keeps all the accessories together. It is so lightweight and portable that it is ideal for travel or for last-minute touchups.

When my curly hair is straightened, the slightest bit of moisture ruins my style. This is perfect for quick touchups to keep a blowout looking fresh.

How To Use LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer for Healthy Hair

· 1 Comment

Heat styling damages hair. Ionic hair dryers produce a heat that’s gentler for hair. It also reduces frizz and delivers shinier, smoother hair with loads of volume. LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer combines gentle ionic technology with a powerful professional motor to dry hair fast without damage.

LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer

what we love about LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer

LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer is a quiet, lightweight dryer that won’t overheat the hair. It has a powerful, fast cool setting. I can quickly and completely dry my hair on cool. There is no damage and it leaves hair very shiny.

Early riser? This dryer is quiet and won’t disturb others in the house.

WHY Your HAIRDRYER MATTERS

Many of us invest time and money into our hair. We color, cut, highlight, and use styling products, shampoos, and conditioning masques. We pamper our hair to protect it, and we put effort into keeping our hair in optimal condition.

And our hairdryer is no place to skimp. Poorly made hairdryers can overheat and damage hair.

Hairdryers can take a toll on our tresses, especially if we style against our natural hair texture. How can we reduce the damage without forsaking shiny, silky blowouts?

What is Negative Ionic Technology?

Over-drying hair that’s already dry is when hair dryer hair damage primarily occurs. It robs the hair of precious moisture.

Negative Ionic technology breaks down the water molecule. This works faster than the typical hot air approach.

Ionic technology also provides consistent airflow for even drying with no hot spots. It dries hair quickly without causing damage to hair or scalp.

How does Ionic Technology make hair look better?

It also enhances the hair condition and appearance. How so?

The ionic technology maintains moisture and cut frizz by sealing the hair’s cuticle. This seal creates a flat cuticle surface which reflects light to appear shiny.

LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer Features

Straight away you will notice this dryer is sleek and pretty with its’ gray and Fuschia detailing. But the real appeal is the technology behind the pretty packaging:

The LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer contains a professional grade motor and Ionic Technology.

  • It has 3 heat settings and 2 Speeds.
  • The cool setting stays cool.
  • It is fast and powerful.
  • The Constant Temperature Protection is designed to not overheat the hair. This reduces hair damage.

Heat and speed options

Design features

LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer includes:

  • 2 Concentrator Nozzles. The durable professional concentrator attachments make DIY blowouts easy. One has a longer opening and the other is tightly concentrated. The 360° Rotary Nozzle makes styling easy.
  • A 2.5 m long cord (7.5+ feet) with a swivel base.
  • Lightweight. The dryer is 1.6 pounds. It is easy to hold overhead with my brush for a blowout.
  • The double safety removable filter is easy to clean and designed not to accidentally suck in hair while styling.
  • Energy-saving, low radiation design
  • Double safety removable filter is easy to clean and prevents hair from getting caught in the dryer.
  • Constant Temperature Protection – This hairdryer distributes heat evenly, keeps the temperature constant so it won’t overheat
  • Six aesthetically pleasing color combinations. I chose the fuchsia/iron gray.

Side view: compare the length of the concentrator nozzle. Note the 360-degree angle design for styling flexibility

My LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer EXPERIENCE

LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer dries my hair uber fast! And my hair naturally coarse, curly hair feels so smooth with much less frizz!

Its’ featherweight design also is lightweight which makes hair drying and styling easier.

Unlike other hairdryers, my arms don’t get tired from extendedly holding the dryer and a brush overhead.

I really love that cool shot is cold air, not just mildly warm. It makes my hair extra shiny and sets my hairstyle. I use the cold shot setting to set my curling irons curls or hot roller curls if I don’t have time to let my hot curls cool down.

CONCLUSION

A great hairdryer is a hair health investment, and ideally, saves time drying hair. The LARMHOI 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer works fast and leaves my hair smooth. I love that it dries without hair cuticle damage. It retains moisture even in my coarse hair.

Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist

· 3 Comments

Uneven skin tone sneaks up on you. Discoloration from acne scars and photodamage are almost impossible to conceal. Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist does skin-quenching sprays one better by improving skin tone at the same time. It is packed with antioxidants and leaves skin supple. Plus the Hesperidin protects collagen and fights photo-damage. And it practically sprays the dark age spots off your face.

For the skin obsessed, discoloration is a particularly irritating problem. To fade them often requires some skin irritating actives that leave skin parched. Fortunately, Mad Hippie has a gentle, natural solution.

Why It Is Special

Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist is a delightful mist soothes what ails your skin while improving discoloration. It contains skin goodies like Pomegranate, Gingko Bilboa, Vitamin C, and Hesperidin.

Hesperidin is a skincare workhorse. We don’t know why more products don’t contain this non-irritating, skin-loving, discoloration fixing, a skin-quenching enhancer that really gets stuff done. But we sure are glad Mad Hippie packs it into this mist.

And check out some of the other skin-quenching ingredients:

The Ingredients

Sweet Orange is rich in collagen-protecting Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is rich in collagen-protecting Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is high in Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is high in Hesperidin

Hesperidin

Hesperidin is a plant flavonoid from citrus fruits like sweet orange and lemon. [1] It has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration and it inhibits future overproduction of melanin. [2] It is collagen and fibroblast protective and reduces the appearance of sun damage [3]. This antioxidant anti-inflammatory soothes the skin. [4]

Sodium PCA

A natural humectant, Sodium PCA binds moisture to the skin dramatically improving skin hydration.

Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is about 80% silymarin.

Silymarin is an antioxidant and free radical scavenger.  It protects skin and fights signs of aging due to sun damage. It is used by dermatologists for all kinds of inflammatory skin conditions including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. [5]

Milk thistle also contains fatty acids, including linoleic acid.

Gingko Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba

A natural ingredient from the maidenhair tree.

Ginkgo Biloba increases blood flow to the skin. Better blood flow means more nutrients are available for skin rejuvenation and collagen production.

Ginkgo Biloba contains high amounts of antioxidants to reduce skin redness and discoloration.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is applied topically for targeted skin-rejuvenation.  It is an anti-aging, acne reducing, dark pigmentation fading powerhouse. Vitamin C is a building block for collagen, the support structure of the skin. Vitamin C also fades acne scars and improves sun-damaged skin texture.

Vitamin C reduces wrinkles & discoloration. It pairs marvelously with Hesperidin.

Resveratrol rich blueberries

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a polyphenol that functions as an antioxidant. It is found in plant-based foods including blueberries, grapes, mulberries, raspberries and peanuts, and red wine.  It is a skincare staple because it reverses aged (senescent) cells to a physically younger, active state. [6]

White Pine Bark

White Pine Bark improves skin hydration and elasticity while decreasing skin fatigue while reducing the appearance of skin discoloration.

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Flowering Camellia Sinensis or Green Tea

Green Tea

Green Tea feeds and moisturizes the skin, calms irritation and is an excellent antioxidant. Topical Green Tea application reduce sun damage, decrease collagen breakdown and increase cell regeneration. Green tea contains polyphenols that may improve sun-damaged skin. [7]

High in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea is a major player in skin health and appearance. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin. Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells.  This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing. [8]

Sodium Hyaluronate

Sodium HA is a non-synthesized form of Hyaluronic Acid. It has Hyaluronic Acid benefits, is a humectant and offers stronger moisture retention properties than regular HA. It is found naturally and ample supply in young skin, but depletes with age. It moisturizes the skin while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Sodium Hyaluronate Acid has a lower molecular size compared to other Hyaluronic Acids. This is beneficial because it can absorb deeper into the skin.

Pomegranate Seed Extract

How Pomegranate Benefits Skin on StyleChicks

Pomegranate

Pomegranate Seed Extract is a safe, natural pomegranate based skincare ingredient.Those juicy, jewel-like seeds are arils. Arils are packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins A, C, K, and E plus folic and ellagic acids.

Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of wine or green tea. [9] Pomegranate Seed Extract increases skin barrier formation and improves skin hydration. Meanwhile, it delivers impressive collagen-building results.

Some of our favorite Mad Hippie brightening products

The Experience

This light mist leaves skin supple and dewy.

Glowing, soft skin isn’t just for face and neck use it on decolletage, shoulders and arms. Many of us have a sprinkling of discoloration on our chest and shoulders. This spray can effectively sack this diffuse discoloration and even out skin tone without irritation or skin peeling.

Hooray for Hesperidin!!!

Use on face, arms, neck, and chest.
