I see a lot of negative reviews. I just used up one I purchased a couple years ago so maybe it has changed. But this was a solid mascara for me. I have trouble with flaking and running but this stay...Read more

Benefit makes my favorite mascaras, but something changed in this formula because it used to separate, define, lengthen, and add volume. Now, it clumps and doesn't do what it once did. I finished the ...Read more

This one is a big NO. Nothing notably good or bad about the application. But it smudged a lot within 3-4 hours and kept getting worse until I removed it. Into the trash it went.

Wow! I'm surprised that this got so many bad reviews. I got a sample size of this for free so admittedly I didn't plunk down $20 for it, but I think it's a nice mascara. I don't buy high-end mascaras,...Read more

This mascara is way too expensive for what it does. I don't like the formula as it is too watery. It feels very wet, and it's easy to mess up your makeup while you're applying it. It smudges quite a l...
