About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.

This mascara is very waterproof, I found it difficult to remove. It does a great job of lengthening, but I found it clumped easily. It held a curl ok, but not as much as I'd like.

I've only ever use waterproof mascara ... this is definitely waterproof, and a bit makeup-remover proof. At first it smudged under my eyes a bit, but I fixed that with some translucent powder.
My eyelashes are already pretty long, but this mascara made them a teensy bit longer, not much though, but my lashes were pretty thick after a few coats.
It'll be my go-to until I can afford a better one

Bought this at a holiday in a tropical country, trying to make sure I didn't constantly sweat my mascara off. Well, I can't really speak for water-proof. It certainly doesn't come off with just water, but often the lengthening effect would land stripes of mascara on my top lids during the holiday! Gah!

Later on, though, I started to find general use for this product. The brush packs a bit too much product at first so I began using a different brush to apply it, which worked wonderfully until there wasn't too much product in the bottle, so using the brush the product came with started to be fine as well. The result is a little too clumpy for my liking at times, but if I'm careful in the application process, it looks good. I use it whenever I need a really long-wearing mascara.

This was the worst mascara I have found out of all of them. I wear contacts, have since I was twelve, and never had a problem with wearing contacts and mascara before until this one.

Not only does this product not seem to dry, but it causes almost like an oil slick issue. It was smearing off of my eyelashes and onto my contacts, an issue I have never had before, and then the worst part it does not rinse off the contact! Even with the solution.

When I tried it without the contacts it caused my eyes to water, there is something in this mascara that caused me to have a bad reaction.

To top it off the mascara seems to wear off within a few hours and it does not create length at all. Giant waste of money.

For a drugstore mascara I find it works well, though not easily. Theres a lot of product on the wand & it helps to wipe some off on a tissue (wasteful but effective). After applying I take a clean wand & run it through my lashes to break up the "spider lash" effect it can give. Despite the few extra steps it does lengthen & stays well throughout the day.

so i tried this only because my mom is obsessed with mascara, because her lashes tend to be on the short side. I have fairly medium length eyelashes that are medium thick.I decided to see if it worked for me and it did,but it was horrible to take off i tired make up remover,baby wipes, water & soap and it still didn't come off it sucked.

I desperately wanted to like this after I saw really good reviews of this mascara. I have hooded eyes, and I've yet to find one that doesn't end up all over my undereye area. The only thing stopping me from giving this a 1 is the fact that it does definitely hold a curl; it does nothing else for me though. It doesn't really lengthen (which is odd because it does advertise a 'stiletto' effect) and barely voluminizes. It clumps easily. The packaging is cute and the brush is small so it can get to all your lashes. I suppose this is decently 'waterproof', but it is such a pain to remove; I often end up with raccoon eyes in the morning. Still on the search for a wearable mascara!

I LOVE this mascara. It's my absolute favourite mascara from Maybelline.
I love a lot of Maybelline mascaras butt this is my favourite by far.
I only use waterproof mascaras, in case it every rains or I end up going swimming or whatever. I love this and the new Plush one from Maybelline, and the Falsies.
The only problem with this, is when it starts to get old, it starts to flake off into your eyes. But it shouldn't be a problem if you wear it everyday and buy new bottles every couple months or so

=D

Lash Stiletto has been a great mascara to me time and time again. So I decided to try the waterproof kind..that was a waste. I feel like the normal stuff does just as good of a job or better than this "waterproof" formula. It did not want to stay put..I felt like it melted underneat my bottom lashes more than the nomal formula. Seemed like my lashes clumped together in chunks more with this one also. I love Lash Stiletto mascara but with my experience I would just stick to the normal formula. It stayed put on my lashes longer and kept them looking nicer than this "waterproof" did.

I picked this up on a whim to layer with a volumizing mascara, and I'm not wildly impressed. It does the job in that it darkens my lashes, and the skinny brush is really nice for the bottom lashes. It doesn't do anything in terms of length as advertised, though. It is truly waterproof and doesn't flake or clump terribly easily, as long as you don't go nuts with the number of coats you use. It's not a super buildable formula.

Okay, I'll admit. the first thing that attracted me the most was the packaging. It's sexy, sturdy, black and red. Like the Louboutin of mascara. But, luckily, the good thing doesn't stop there. It adds massive length to my mediocre lashes. My lashes are OK, not too long, not too voluminous. They're plain OK. You can still see that I have lashes even when I don't put mascara on but this gives me super long lashes! I only put a couple of coats and the length it gives is phenomenal. The price is OK, the formula is creamier than Maybelline's Cat-Eye mascara and I quite like the brush. It doesn't weigh my lashes down. Only thing is, it's not that good for bottom lash because of the brush but for the length it gives, it's forgivable. I just need to be extra careful when putting it on my bottom lashes. Overall, it's fantastic and I'll definitely buy this again.

This is my favorite mascara because it's the only one I have tried that is truly waterproof. My eyes water a lot and by the middle of the day I usually have raccoon eyes. But, this particular formulation works better than some of my high end mascaras like Dior or Benefit. It does take a bit of work to get off at night. But, since it stays put so well I don't mind that.

I think this version gave me more volume and stronger lashes than the volume version of this...that's odd. This is a pretty decent mascara. If you want length....try this. Me, I have length, I want volume...so I still prefer CG Lash Blast Volume (orange tube). This gave killer length...my lashes were touching my eye brows. But the lash line was not a strong as I like.

Wow! Holy cow, I use this mascara everyday and it works amazingly! The thin wand makes the application of this product so easy. It dries really fast after you apply it which is great for when you're in a rush and don't want smudging. The fast dry can also be a bad thing if your a person who likes to put multiple coats. So I suggest doing one eye with multiple coats then repeat on the other. Instead of switching back and forth eye to eye.
It gives amazing length to your lashes. It is a lengthening mascara so I wasn't decepointed that it didn't give much volume.
When they say waterproof, man, they mean waterproof. I've cried in this mascara and it still stays perfect!
I think I paid around 8.99$ Canadian or something around that for this mascara. A little pricey but it works fantastically

Added a good amount of length, but did not do much volumizing.
Made lashes feel a bit stiff and was a bit hard to take off, but held curl very well.
The thin wand works well for smaller eyes, as well as getting those inner corner lashes and bottom lashes.

This product does add length, but that's about it.
I have small asian lashes so I was looking for a great mascara and this didn't impress me.
This is clumpy and gave me a very spidery look, which I am not a fan of. Also, throughout the day it flakes.
I will stick to L'Oreal Voluminous.

I have been using this mascara in my routine for about a year now, and must have it. It does absolutely nothing for volume, but totally adds crazy length and I love it. I have medium length eyelashes, but they are very light. I use Falsies Flared WP mascara first, and then just add this to the ends of my lashes. I get amazing looking lashes every time.


This stuff is mega waterproof. Even with a good eye makeup remover, you still have to really work to get it all off. I don't mind it though. (My eyes water alot since I have plugs in my tear ducts..on purpose to avoid dry eyes...and I would have mascara all over my super pale face. NOT a good look).


I have yet to find any other mascara that really gives this kind of length. I love the thin wand too. It makes it really easy to get into those tricky corner lashes that try to hide.

This mascara has such a strong formula. Well, I accidentally bought the waterproof formula. Since it's waterproof, it did stay on up to 2 days (without attempt to wash off) but it also did flake through time, and when it did, it'd go inside my eyes causing pain. It does do what it is advertised to, doing for your lashes what your heels do haha. But you can easily overdo it. So maybe like 2 strokes is enough, but if any more, then it'll start to crumble. It gives a good "oomph" but the crumbling is just horrible. Maybe I should try the nonwaterproof version, but goodness it was already pricey enough (about $10) the first time.

Like the way it looks when you first put it on, makes my eyelashes look very long. No volume, but very long.

It is DEFINITELY waterproof. This stuff does not come off without makeup remover.

My only real issue is that it tends to clump. When I first put it on, it looks good, but over time the lashes will start to stick together. Since it's waterproof, they're nearly impossible to separate. Also, if my lashes do get wet, the mascara won't come off, but that will also cause my lashes to get stuck together. If I touch my eye at all, even to get something out of the corner of it, my lashes will still get stuck together if I'm not careful. Sometimes, at the end of the day, I'll look in the mirror and it'll look like I just have three huge eyelashes because they get so clumped together. After some days, it'll feel like I just took fake eyelashes off and some of the glue just got leftover on my eyelashes.

I use this mascara as a backup in my dance bag, because my eye feels naked without mascara and sometimes I forget to put it on on my way to rehearsal. I'll use it until the bottle's gone but won't be repurchasing after that. I'm sure this is great for some people, but it just really doesn't work for me.
