Hated the brush
-05.24.13
I started out poking myself in the eye. Fun. Then, I attempted to use it to fan my lashes out and they all clumped together. I had to take it off and use something else. Worst mascara I have ever tried. I returned it.

Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining
I just bought this and wow, it is my favorite mascara I've ever used. It makes my lashes so full and long & they look like false lashes. Absolutely love this mascara, it doesn't clump on me at all and is great!

Didn't live up to the hype
-05.07.13
Quick Take: defining
I was very excited to try this~ I had read the reviews, and heard how wonderful it was on a youtube makeup tutorial, and so I closed my eyes and purchased it despite its price. Sadly, I will be returning it. I still get the "raccoon" eyes from this, and its super hard to get off, even with waterproof makeup remover. It gets clumpy if you're not careful. With practice, I was able to make it look nice, but again, it doesn't wear over the day well for me. Not good enough to justify its price point.

Solid 2.5 Stars
-05.05.13
On me, this mascara made my lashes group together. I think it dispenses too much product on the wand to be workable. I don't think I should have to wipe off the excess on a tissue for such a high priced mascara. I also had problems with flaking and smudging. I am returning this item.

LOVE. My go-to mascara. I've tried a lot of mascaras including Lancome, dior, benefit, nyc, buxom but this is my favorite so far. The brush is awesome.

Do not buy this
-04.13.13
Bought this mascara with high expectations as it came greatly recommended. Have been extremely letdown as it flakes terribly and constantly leaves black blotches beneath my eyes. I have tried a number of things to fix this with no avail. After a couple of wears I had to stop wearing it. Do not recommend this mascara as it flakes constantly and creates black smudges beneath your eyes.

A Must Have
-04.06.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening
I use this in conjunction with my DiorShow (waterproof). I don't know what I'd do without it! It gets those hard-to-coat eyelashes in the corners. It also lasts for a loooong time (put a couple of drops of contact solution in when it gets dry as a refresher!). Not sure how it would work as your only mascara, but is a great addition!

Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining
I purchased this in black and it is a godsend. Wonderful mascara, easy to apply with the small round application tip. You will never go back to your old wands again! The picture I've attached is of the day after applying it the morning before and it still looks good though the mascara curler has worn off. (Shu Uemura curlers! And I had forgotten to wash my make up off the night before :) )

I was a little hesitant because of the price- but this is the best mascara ever! It's easier to apply with the ball brush, doesn't clump, and stays on all day. It's also very easy to remove. I love it!

Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining
Finally, a waterproof mascara that doesn't smudge! I feel like I've been looking for this product for most of my life. I used to use DiorShow's waterproof formula, but I had a big problem with it flaking. This stays put, and does a great job of defining every one of my lashes. I get compliments every time I use it! Application is something that takes some getting used to, but it's great and well worth every penny I spent on it!

Fabulous.
First time I wore it, I wasnt sure it was worth $30. but then i realized, i still had residue from my drug store waterproof mascara on my lashes from the day before. Make sure you judge this product after use on clean, fresh eye lashes. I think it's more the formula than the cool brush to be honest. Well worth the money.

good mascara
-01.25.13
This mascara highlights lashes that I never knew I had...it provides a pretty eye! However, the waterproof aspect is not that strong, as I find it rubs off at the end of the day. Also, it takes a bit of practice to figure out the application technique.
