My lashes are long and curly, I just use mascara to thicken them up so they look super full and luscious ;) That's why I always choose mascaras with brushes like this one! The long numerous bristles comb through the lashes like nothing else, while also distributing the product pretty well. I can't use wands with small bristles or the black liquid will clump up like crazy!
This mascara is pretty decent and does the job! I'm a little skeptic though about the formula! It's not liquidy nor thick when you first open it, it's actually the perfect texture to thicken lashes up. But as usual, when time passes by, formulas tend to harden and turn into paste like messes. This one is no exception. It lasted me about a month or so and now the formula is really hard and not appropiate for my delicate lashes. So I just bought another mascara from Claire's store and now I'm using it, so right now I'm still in the search for my HG mascara.

Use Pond's cold cream or other moisturizing based makeup remover to take this product off your eyes. It actually comes out pretty easily with oil derivate products :)

Great product makes my lashes look fuller and thicker but does clump a bit. I usually just use my Clinique mascara to add length and eliminate the clumps.

Well, First off it does make your eyelashes look pretty, and full. It's about $6 maybe, But when I went to go to take a shower the mascara wouldn't come off. I had to wash my face SEVERAL times. Definitely not buying it again.

So, it does make my eyelashes look beautiful! and i love that my lashes feel soft and fluffy afterwards, and the applicator is so big i love it, but when i went to take this off it would not budge! no matter what i tried it would not come off! and while trying i lost some lashes! not cool! the next day my lashes where all clumpy and gross because i couldn't get it off!!
So i will not repurchase this because it was a nightmare!

Here's what I like: price (4.99 Cdn--a bargain), formula (not too wet or too dry), brush has a good shape in that it is nice and fluffy, and once dry my lashes are actually soft. I have naturally long and fairly full lashes and am not a fan of rubber bristled brushes or brushes that are too skinny. Dislike: the "flex" feature of the wand applicator. Makes it feel slightly wimpy and tends to flex too much. If you use too much force in applying I can see this wand driving a person crazy. It's how I felt about the Naturluxe mascara--terrible wand for me. Id probably buy the Mega Plush again if it was super-duper on sale but its not at the top of my list.

Happily used this for 3 months, it wasn't great but not terrible either. Ready to move on to something else though.

This mascara does make your lashes soft. It makes it feel like its your own lashes...which comes with a downfall: it looks like your own lashes too. I use this first in my mascara routine. It kind of just gets them ready for the other mascaras i use. I wouldnt buy this again just because it was average and i like to try new mascaras lol. i also use this on my bottom lashes because it doesnt clump and keeps them soft.

This mascara is the worst mascara I have ever used. The smell is ok and it dries quickly and the packaging is efficient and lightweight, but when it comes to the actual product, very poor. It says it uses less wax than other mascaras, which is weird cuz when you need to remove it, it leaves a waxy residue on the eyelids and lashes. The brush is flimsy, I don't know why they though making it floppy would help get the lashes, it just got it all clumped if you weren't careful. The color is ok, I got the black one. It wears, but runs as well. Overall, not a good mascara. Maybelline's colossal volum' in the yellow tube is awesome. Plush is not.

This mascara is easily the worst I've ever used. I honestly once bought a dollar store mascara as a kid that wasn't as bad as this. The wand is awful and flimsy and the formula is VERY wet and runny, which in my opinion is a terrible combination. The brush on the packaging looked full and functional, which is why I chose it - I prefer a full thick brush. The actual brush was floppy and thin with short uneven bristles, and looked nothing like what was pictured. My lashes are long, but not very thick (alopecia areata, they fall out and eventually regrow in cycles) and this mascara gave me the worst case of spider-lashes that I've ever had! Literally all of them clumped into like 6 or 7 little legs and as soon as it dried they were super stiff too. Not only is it hard and clumpy, but it made my eyelashes stick together (figure that one out). I've never had a dry hard and clumpy mascara also make my eyelashes stick together, but this one did. Just an all around terrible experience. I will NEVER recommend or repurchase this product.
