I bought this mascara because the packaging was so cute. I love the bright yellow and the leopard print spots. The mascara itself is awful. It makes my lashes longer but it clumps them together and makes them look all spider like. I like my lashes to be long and full, this doesn't do it for me. I wouldn't buy it again.

3rd worst maybelline mascara I've bought! I hate this mascara. The cat eyes mascara I purchased IS waterproof, along with every other mascara I've purchased. But let me get to the point; IT'S HORRIBLE, I used to wear this mascara daily and every time I went to go touch up my makeup in the restrooms at school the mascara would be smudged and I'd have raccoon eyes. It was 8 dollars, I can for sure say I'm not buying another maybelline mascara for now. It also clumps your lashes after about 2 coats. It's a good mascara if your just running out to somewhere otherwise no, disappointing...

Are you planning on being a zombie or a swamp monster for Halloween? if so, THIS is the mascara for you! it gives you horrible lashes and will give you the "just crawled out of a wet swamp after being dead for eight years" smell.
it's sticky and gross and did nothing to my naturally long and curly lashes. it has no redeeming qualities. the packaging is cute, but that's it.

I wish I'd read the reviews first, darnit. Here in NZ this cost me $27. I thought it would be good seeing missglamourazzi always raves about maybelline mascara (silly me for listening to a YouTuber!). Unfortunately the wand is very hard to work with and it doesn't provide volume or length. Thumbs down.

I have short, straight, asian eyelashes. I have to curl my lashes everyday, just so that I know they exist.

I've tried a number of mascaras. But this mascara adds volume and most importantly, holds my curl throughout the day!!!

this is a thinner formula, and the spoon-curved brush allows for even application to the smallest hairs in the corners of your eye.

I have the waterproof formula as I wear contacts, and I've had no problems with removal.

I am a big fan, and at the price, will definitely be repurchasing.

I see people giving it bad review but I love this mascara. The curved brush gives my eyelashes volume and it goes on smooth with no clumps. It doesn't flake at all. It may be kind of difficult to take off but it's waterproof so it was expected. Definitely buying this again.

I am IN LOVE w/ this mascara. First of all, the packaging is adorable and I love the spoon shaped brush. This makes my eyelashes pop. literally. They are gorgeous & it looks like fake lashes. This is my all time favorite mascara, The reason It's a 3 is because i'm allergic to it): I wish I wasn't

I love this mascara, and am absolutely shocked at the bad reviews. My lashes are sparse but long, and this mascara gives length and volume very nicely. My second fave drugstore/Maybelline mascara. I also love the brush! Holds a curl great, and is very black. No clumps or smudges! Definitely will repurchase when it runs out.
