I have light, skimpy eyelashes. This product really fattens them up without being too clumpy. Adds significant length and volume to my lashes. Ive tried another brand that has the two sides with the primer, and it was a clumpy mess. Its hard to find any mascara that helps me, but this one works pretty well.

i think i would get this product again, it does what it says it's supposed to do. i should have read the product details before purchasing though. this mascara's objectives are different than the older version of XXL, which is meant to thicken and lengthen using fibre mascara. however, this product is just to stiffen unruly lashes that usually don't stay in place. i think i like the older version of XXL more than this one, but this mascara is more for natural looking long lashes, while the other mascara gives a more false eyelash effect.
lasts all day. doesn't flake or smudge. doesn't clump. not too thick. applies relatively easily. gets kind of crispy lashes.

I can't actually remember why I bought this, but I use it under my YSL faux clis, because I find that if you use a lengthening mascara first your lashes get length and aren't as clumpy...
The first and second steps seem to both do the same thing to me, and I don't believe the claims made by cheaper brands and their primers... Also there should be less of the first step because you're only supposed to do one coat of that, and at least 2 coats of the 2nd step are necessary to successfully cover the white of the first.
It's fairly good at lengthening, but not very good at seperating, so I won't buy it again but I'm going to use it all
I like it, but 2 steps is 1 step too many for me. Plus the effect isn't as dramatic as I'd hoped, and I like my lashes dramatic! The end result is nice though, not quite like falsies, but it will give you long, pretty lashes. It separates very well, no clumping issues, and it gives very nice length. But it's just too much for me having to apply the primer beforehand if it's not going to make my lashes look so thick and long that they're mistaken for fake lashes (which is what I'm going for). If you're hoping for long, pretty, your lashes-but-much-better, this mascara will do the trick.

This mascara doesn't do much for my lashes. It did lengthen them a bit but it was hard to tell I was even wearing mascara. It doesn't volumize or hold curled lashes. In fact, I think the primer straightened my curled lashes. Granted they are short Asian lashes but Maybelline's other mascara Define A Lash works a lot better than this one.

Fabulous! Not usually a Maybelline mascara fan but this blew me away. My lashes look full and long - I was only expecting length from this mascara - not both. My lashline was much neater as well. One of the big problems I have with my eyelashes are that some of the lashes have fallen out of my left eye. My right eye has loads of eyelashes so generally I look really uneven when I have mascara on. This attracted me because the packaging said the primer was designed to tame unruly lashes. Well, it must have done because now both eyes look lovely. In fact I was told I have doe eyes recently and believe me no-one would say that if they actually saw my eyes sans mascara. I took one lippy off purely because it takes a few coats and a little patience to get the desired effect. I found the patience paid off because the mascara didnt flake, nor did it clump no matter how much I whacked on. I always like a formula that allows me to build my lashes to the desired effect. Not that I would, but if I did want a more toned down lash effect I could definately get that with this mascara as well. In terms of the length ... my lashes were touching my brow bone. The nice thing about this mascara as well is that lashes are surprisingly soft rather than stiff.

Rubbish. Read some good reviews on other sites and decided to part with good money for a drug store mascara. It didnt do anything for my lashes! Didnt lengthen or give volume! I should of used clear mascara instead, it would have given better results!

This does not do what it promises-extension looking lashes. Sure it makes my lashes long but no longer than other lengthening mascaras. It also doesn't last long or hold a curl and makes my lashes look spidery. I guess I'm just used to L'Oreal Voluminous that makes my lashes thick and long. Oh well.
this mascara is alright, i got 2 for a 1$ each but thats cuz i was lucky umm well it does give me really long eyelashes but even after u put the black mascara you can still c sum of the white primer besides that i would recommend this product to a person who takes there time apply make up umfortunally im the type of person who applies there makeup in the car on the way to school LOL :D
