    Gorgeous black color but yes, this does smear/smudge like crazy! I have dry skin so I wear an oil based concealer under my eyes and this mascara does not hold up to ANY oil whatsoever. Yes, it is...

    I really dislike this mascara. I always buy waterproof because my lashes are very long. Waterproof mascara is the only way I can get them to stay up and hold a curl all day long without drooping....

    I have to agree whole-heartedly with a lot of the other reviewers.. this is a good mascara, but it's NOT a waterproof mascara. Every new mascara I try (and I'm a mascara junkie) I give the...

    I have been using this mascara for several years now and honestly no other mascara comes close for thickness and staying power and just plain blackness! I have longish lashes anyway but I still...

    I'm surprised by the low rating of this product. Its my GO-TO mascara because of its staying power and volume it gives my lashes. Like some drug store mascara, this product does not leave black...

    For a waterproof mascara, this sucks!!! Such a shame because it really does make my lashes voluminous and lush. However after using it for a day and not even halfway into the day, this mascara gave...

    Even in waterproof this mascara smudges and after 4-6 hours I get a racoon eye. Although, this may be due to the fact that I have Asian eyes. This does NOT hold a curl. It is very cheap...

    Yikes, what a mess with the flaking and smudging. Do not dare sleep in this one unless you want to wake up looking like a raccoon. I would not recommend this mascara at all :(

    Due to my puny, straight Asian eyelashes, I've used mascara every day for the last 19 years. No matter which new product out there comes along, it never compares to L'Oreal's Voluminous Waterproof...

    This product smudges within hours of application and gives me some hardcore raccoon eyes. It is disappointing because it is almost perfect in every other way. It's lengthening, gives nice volume, a...

    I've been using this off and on inbetween other mascaras because I'm still searching for a new HG since my old favourites were all either discontinued or were too hard on my lashes over time. I...

    this is horrible! the formula is so dry, and leaves my lashes looking brittle. by far the worst mascara I've owned.

    A lot of people like this mascara, including most of my family. I tried it about 4 years ago, and I decided to give it a go this year. For some reason, it doesn't work for me. It smudges, it...

    Waterproof? It definitely wasn't anywhere close to waterproof. It took forever to dry, and when I went in the pool, it smudged. They make the smudgies waterproof but the actual mascara was runny...

    Waterproof? It's not even oxygen-proof. It gave me two black eyes within three hours of applying. The color was nice, and it made my lashes look fabulous while it lasted.
