This has been my go-to mascara for a few years now. I like it because it's affordable and when it's still relatively new, it isn't clumpy and gives a lovely lengthening effect - would recommend if you...Read more

I bought this today in the purple colour and I am not impressed. I’m pretty sure the one I bought is brand new and not tampered but when I took out the mascara brush the consistency was looking dry an...Read more

This was pretty good for a drugstore mascara. It says it's for volumizing and lengthening. I would agree with the lengthening part. It really is good if you are looking for definition...

Lengthens, thickens and darkens my light colored lashes nicely. I like the fat brush and the build-able consistency, very little clumping if the brush is wiped against the side of the tube. I find it ...Read more

I was really sure it would be worth the hype after one of my longtime favorite youtubers recommended it. And it’s not bad but... it’s not great either. I have it in the shade Brown. It is a bit dry fr...Read more

Doesn’t work very well for asian lashes. I prefer L’Oréal voluminous mascara.

I hadn't heard any hype about this product, but if I had, it might indeed have been worth it. It's pretty darn good! It definitely volumized very satisfyingly, although it's possible to go too far and...Read more

I really like this mascara! I have decent lashes but they are pretty straight and I usually use waterproof mascara to hold a curl. I really wanted to give my lashes a break from the stiff waterproof s...Read more

Some volume, some length, clumpy, doesn't hold a curl at all. Makes lashes feel crispy and look very "spidery", and not well groomed. Difficult to remove. A pretty average mascara.

Not the greatest drugstore mascara. This formula easily smuges off and wants to clump. The mascara wand is large and applies the product nicely to lashes. I do get a little volume and some length fro...Read more

UPDATE 9/17/18: I think I've used this enough to realize how it truly performs: smudging. A lot of mascaras smudge on me & this was one of them too. It's even more irritating that it smudged when I wa...Read more

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite mascaras. It lengthens, isn't clumpy, volumizes and seems to curl a bit.

It's hard for a mascara to wow me, but this one did! I REALLY struggle to hold a curl in my lashes and keep them lifted. This manages to do it and I don't even curl my lashes with this! It adds volume...Read more

Good, but not really "wow" for me. I'll still be buying it again as it's cheap and does the job. It separates your lashes out as well as curling and lengthening, which gives a lovely natural look. I t...Read more

Looked okay at first, but crumbled off my lashes halfway through the day. It looked like I had black pepper all over my cheeks.
