I have tried tons and tons of mascaras. I have tried:


- Max factor 2000 calorie mascara
- MAC zoom lash mascara
- Maybelline Volume express mascara
- Dior show blackout mascara
- Estee lauder turbo lash vibrating mascara
- Avon astonishing lengths mascara
- Estee double wear zero smudge lengthening mascara
- Rimmel glam eyes mascara
- Clinique naturally glossy mascara


I haven’t reviewed all of these yet, but i will eventually.


Anyway after spending around AUD $300 on mascara, i was going to give up on mascara in general. In fact, I stopped wearing mascara for a month (i only wore Dior show on nights out). I hated that i had spent that much money trying out different brands with horrible results. Most mascara were either clumpy, thick, not volumizing, spidery etc... I was browsing through makeup alley the other day and stumbled across an interesting review on the Clinique naturally glossy mascara. After reading over 500 reviews i decided this would be the last mascara i will buy for a long time. (i know, I’m a sucker!) I went to my local Clinique counter and bought a tube in jet black. GOD this is amazing! I have short, straight lashes and this mascara defined them very well! It slightly darkened them, separated them and i swear i even noticed that it lengthens them. I am very pleased with this mascara, and i will use it every day! I think my search for a decent mascara is officially over :D

If you have barely there lashes, this isn't for you.
If you have already beautiful lashes, give this a go! It's great for the work week, when you want to have on mascara, but aren't into looking like you are going out on a weekend night. Subtle, but there, and very natural looking. The women that do no like this most likely have skimpy lashes. Like I said, if yours are fairly decent w/o mascara, then this is a good staple to have for those natural look days.

This is a great mascara! The reason why I love it is because it goes on perfectly and it never EVER clumps. It fans out your lashes, gives you subtle length and makes them really stand out. Sure, there are products out there that will give you crazy length and volume but I honestly don't feel like hassling with goopy formulas all of the time. If you're looking for drama, this is not the mascara for you. If you just want a simple and mess-free mascara, I recommend you give it a try.

Who wants an average mascara? Doesn't lengthen or thicken...forget about adding gloss...natural...like almost having nothing on...it should be called invisible mascara.

I love this mascara for the perfect natural look! I have relatively long lashes, but they are very light. This mascara makes them naturally dark and full. Love this!!!

I love this mascara. I use the brown color (instead of black) because my eyes are blue.

It colors the lashes and never looks clumpy. If you want lengthening or an obvious look, this is not the right mascara for you.

If you want a natural look, this is perfect.

There are some negative reviews that say the mascara did not create a more obvious effect. However, this product does not claim to do that and the production description is clear.

If you are looking for a mascara that enhances your eyelashes, this one is a good choice. It is not for super dramatic looks. It doesn't clump or dry up in the tube (the one I am using right now is just under 6 months old and it has not dried up at all) and I think that the price is fairly reasonable.

This was one of the first mascaras I ever bought in HS, and it is a great one. It's comparable to Neutrogena's natural lash in that it doesn't really lengthen or add volume. It just gives you beautifully defined darker lashes. No clumps, no flakes...it's just a satisfying mascara and great for daytime.

The best natural-looking mascara I've ever tried! Gives good length and makes my super short lashes look very pretty indeed. It doesn't clump or smudge at all either, would definitely repurchase!

Oh my gosh! I never thought I'd replace my Shu Uemara mascara! But I did! This is so perfect I can't stop exclaiming! See! I'm stuck! Ok, ok, it's really nice, natural looking mascara. Not clumpy, not very dramatic, washes off easily but doesn't smudge.
