I received a sample of this from Sephora. It definitely has it's good points. It separates well, doesn't clump. But I didn't get much thickening or lengthening from it. It gave me a nice look, but more natural than I was expecting from something called "Buxom". I usually don't like this type of brush, but this one was nice to use. I have a terrible problem with getting the raccoon eye look under my eyes from nearly every mascara I try. This one is no exception, however it is much more minimal than most others. It's a nice enough mascara, but not one that would make me pay $18 for it or whatever it costs.

Got a sample of this, and it has become one of my go-to mascaras. My only complaint is that it takes a long time to dry, so I often get lash marks in my undereye area.

I got this mascara for free at Sephora a couple of years ago. It's a wet formula & it takes a while to completely dry. I don't usually like rubber mascara brushes (I don't feel they're as effective), but this brush didn't bother me as much for some reason. The color is a deep, intense black. I used this mascara along with my usual mascara. This mascara by itself, didn't really lengthen that well. But, it did a great job at volumizing. So, I used my usual mascara & then layered this mascara on top of that one & I achieved a great, dramatic look. Overall, I wasn't dissapointed with this mascara, but I wouldn't buy this again because I would have to use this along with another mascara to achieve the right look. So, I'll stick to my favorite from L'oreal.

I got a full size of this mascara free during a VIB promotion at Sephora. It is as expensive as Fresh Supernova (my former favorite) or any of the other good high end ones, and it is worth the price IMO. I'd gladly purchase it in the future. The formula is nice and wet enough so it doesn't dry out right away and clump your lashes. My lashes are naturally black, curly, and thick, but I'd really like some more length when I wear eye makeup. The lash brush has little bristles that comb your lashes neatly so they end up looking feathery and long rather than spidery. It gives a natural yet alluring look for eyes. Highly recommended!

I didn't really care for this product when I first picked it up. I was bored during my lunch break and happened to walk into Sephora. When I first got it I didn't open it until the next day. The instructions happened to come out and then I fell in love. The brush is amazing. I have long lashes not too think and not too thin and I can say that this made me look like I was wearing falsies.

I've used this mascara 3 times in a row. Once I sprayed ud deslick and once I sprayed Mac fix + and the last time I sprayed nothing. This mascara does volumize and make the lashes appear a little longer however even after it dries it flakes off. If you rub your eye for any reason you will have black dots and dried mascara on your hands. I think you can save the $18 for something worth it. In my opinion there are drug store mascaras that are much better. It doesnt say if it's waterproof or not. I do have to say I liked the way my lashes looked and the wond was double the normal size and I really liked that but I would definitely pass on this.

I only have the sample tube of this, but so far I am enjoying it. It makes my eyelashes very long, adds volume, but nothing intense. I love how dark and black it is. The mascara is a wet so you have to be careful applying it- it always gets on my skin no matter how careful I am. If I take the time to apply it, it really makes my eyes pop. However, If you rush between coats, it can cause minor clumping. I have always enjoyed Bare Escentuals mascaras, and this one is ok. It also does not flake, which is a plus. The main con is that it doesn't hold my curl well, but I haven't really found a mascara that can, without being super stiff.

I got this as my 100 point gift from sephora. I probably would have never tried it if I had to pay for it.


Didn't know it was the bare escentuals line til I researched it, eh whatever that doesn't matter. The first couple of weeks I didn't really like it. The formula seemed too thin and the brush seemed to separate the lashes too much. Yes for those of you who love feather separate lashes, you would love this. But for me, I am more of a thick long lash kinda gal. So after the third week, it started to thicken, making my lashes look more thick and nice looking. The brush...is interesting very separate style but still works pretty good even when it starts to thicken.


Will I buy this? Probably not, but it saved me from buying another mascara since I didn't have the funds. I am looking at tartes light camera action mascara...thats next to try.
