Congrats Hard Candy for being one of the worst mascaras I`ve tried in a long time. I love fiber mascaras for the results they give my lashes so when I saw this one for $5 I had to give it a try. It seriously did nothing for my lashes despite multiple coats. No lengthening, volume, or separation, and it could be compared to using tinted water on my lashes. Waste of money and I`ve returned this epic fail mascara.

Once again im disappointed by this line...at first I really liked the natural look this mascara gave my lashed,but than I noticed these little hairs in the product and it was so disgusting...I really want to like this line but it just hasnt worked for me yet i guess...I paid about 10 bucks for this disgusting mess of a mascara...this line so far is definatly not worth the money...I would not recommend this to anybody.:(

An okay mascara but doesn't live up to the fiberized part. The brush is awkward, but oddly enough, once I got used to it, it DOES do a good job. This makes SUPER NATURAL looking lashes. It definitely finds and fans them out nicely. However, there is very little thickening or lash extending. My lashes look very well groomed, but I'd definitely choose THIS mascara to use on a 'no makeup' day. Bottom Line: Fully brushed, wispy natural looking lashes. If you are like me and follow Fiber mascaras, I'd skip this one, it does not in any way live up to a "fiber" mascara. That said, it stays on all day, doesn't flake or smear, etc. So that's the good part. Again, a mascara I'd reach for on a natural makeup day, but that'sthe only time.

I have this mascara in green and purple.
This product flakes and takes forever to get any of it on your lashes.
It does, like many people say, look wispy.
The only thing that I like about it is that it comes in pink, green, sky blue & purple.
When I run out of these, I will buy the same colours in the 'Lash Call' version of the mascaras.

I thought the packaging was pretty nice, you could actually squeeze the product out of the bottom. The price wasn't so bad, less then $10. That being said, I would have done better with the over $20 Imju's fiberwig mascara. This mascara flaked on me by mid day, not something I like. Will not buy again.

I really like this mascara. I have bright blue contacts and thought it would be fun to try the bright blue mascara. I never thought it would magnatize the blue as much as it did. My eye lashes absolutly popped! They were inclredible blue and incredibly long. I wish I would have bought this in black as well instead of wasting $7 on the HC Ginormous Mascara, which I also reviewed and hated.

I would recommend this mascara. It lasted all day, didn't smudge (which is a miracle alone for me) and made my lashes look like I had extensions done.

Would buy again for sure.

Wonderful product, i admit to feeling like others at first, like i was mislead by the label, it will not give you thick lashes, but what it does give you is much better! This mascara lengthens and separates lashes for a really good, natural look which i love! It has zero clumps, no flakies and is just overall a really good choice! The packaging is a little strange, unlike any mascara I've ever seen before, but its not ugly or anything. I got mine in underground brown, which is a brown black color that also fits in with its natural fresh look! Definitely going to repurchase!

This stuff gave me an eye infection so bad that I had to use my 1-wk vacation up at work.. pus covered my eyelids, lashes and eyeballs and turned into a hard crust within minutes of rinsing my eyes from the previous "breakout". It was absolutely awful and I do not recc this. Holy crap it was bad news bears.

I'm sad to see all the bad reviews on this product! I just bought this a few days ago, and I love it. What many of you ladies are failing to realize is that this is NOT a voluminzing formula. It is meant to lengthen and stretch the lashes, and yes, it requires more than one coat. But I have yet to find a mascara that does what I want it to in just one swipe! Mascara is actually the make up step I put the most time into. Around five minutes for each eye. It takes time and patience to build the perfect look. This is true with any brand, any formula. Another thing girls often don't know is that you need to use a combination of formulas. I use THREE different mascaras on each eye! One that has a built in primer, one that lengthens and then one on top of that to fill them in and add volume. Stop looking for a one stop shop mascara. You won't find it. And one more mistake women make is having unreal expectations from a mascara. If you want the super dramatic, unreal looking lash look, then you must opt for false lashes. I think this mascara is pretty darn good for the price. Beats out DiorShow, which I thought was pretty weak for what it costs. Good luck.

I have tried the L'Oreal false lash fiber mascara, and about every other mascara on earth. Picked this up at Walmart because, well, I try mascaras. Long lashes at last, without clumps or flakes or itchiness. NOT a volumizer, it's a lengthener. I have very bleah lashes, short and ashy. I can't ever get a good look with a mascara that claims to be both volume and length, and of the two, I would rather have length. I applied it with 2 or 3 light coats. The tube is kind of neat, makes me think I'll get all of the product out of the container. And the brush is odd, not very plush, but achieves the length and separation. I don't feel the fibers at all. Looks great. Certainly worth the price. Happy happy happy.

Hmm...I don't understand all the negative reviews for this product! I have the black one- and it's fantastic.
Like with any mascara, it's not a 'one swipe miracle'. I find that the drier formula lasts all day on my lashes, and it makes my lashes look INCREDIBLY LONG!!
While this doesn't make my lashes appear anymore thicker- it definitely gives them curl and mega-length. I absolutely love this product, definitely give it a try!

I was hunting for a more voluminizing mascara in Walmart, and thought that this would do the trick. First off, I don't really like the packaging. There's nothing wrong with it, but just looking at it gave me a bad feeling. I really dislike the brush. It said it was a "weave" brush, and some of the bristles were weaved in and out like it said, but they fall off during application! I don't want that in my eyelashes. As for what the product is supposed to do, it really didn't do much of anything. I didn't have any adverse effects, but this didn't elongate or volumize my lashes either. It was sort of pathetic. But if anyone else would like to suggest a good Hard Candy mascara, I would appreciate it, since I do really like this brand and am Still looking for my perfect mascara.

Packaging was very cute. But the actual mascara itself wasn't all that great, in fact, there wasn't much of the mascara at all, just mostly fiber. I'd say about 30% was actual mascara. It wasn't horrible or anything, it just didn't do too much. Good news is that it doesn't clump, and it's very clean. the end result of the lashes was very wispy, which has its own appeal, just not for me. I like a more dramatic look. So not that bad, but like everyone else, it didn't really live up to its name or description,

I like the packaging of this product, but not the product itself. I have used a few different brands of "fiber" mascara before, so I do have something to compare it to. First of all, the consistency of the mascara is like next to nothing, I couldn't really tell anything was on the brush if it wasn't for the fibers. It took me literally like 5 or 6 coats to get to a point where it actually looked like something besides my natural lashes. It kind of gave a wispy, semi natural sort of look (totally not what I expected considering this was fiber mascara) so I changed my mind about it, because sometimes I like a natural look. Then I got home & the fibers were all over my face. I really can't find anything good to say about this product aside from the packaging & price. Even if it was around $6 or $7, it wasn't worth it.

Awful product. I already have nice eyelashes but what female doesn't want to try and make her eyelashes appear longer and more fuller?

I really tried to give this a chance. I used it on multiple occassions and the result, those little fiber lashes all over my cheeks. I would have to continuously go to the bathroom to wipe those fiber lashes off my face. They definitely help in giving the illusion of longer and more lashes because of all the fiber lash pieces but the problem is...they fall on your face!

Ladies if you want longer lashes just try something like Li-Lash or Rapid Lash because this just makes you look like a fool when you got the fibers smeared all over your face looking like a hot mess, lol.

This review is for the white mascara primer.

I bought the primer one which is a white color and I thought it would be better then other white primers since most of mine came in a duo with step 1 and step 2. But those still turned out to be better then this. I could see the fibers on the wand, but they were barely going on my lashes eventually the fibers did clings to my lashes but not enough I would say. I layered it since it looked anorexic and to get the full effect of the fibers but it still wasn't enough and did not perform to my expectations. When I get get an adequate amount of fibers on my lashes looks spidery and clumpy. I even tried it with different mascaras and still didn't make a noticeable difference or just didn't look good. I love the HC line at Walmart and this is one of the first things I've purchased that was a disappointment. Oh and how could I forget to mention this all those fiberized particles flake off through out the day. This product boo.. I prefer loreal double extend with lash boosting serum step 1 followed with a different mascara n it is the bomb as a primer

Pros:
-No animal testing
-great packaging/brush
-reasonable price/easy to get (Hard Candy is available at most Walmarts)
Cons:
-Doesn't deliver much volume
-doesn't deliver much length
-flakes off

rating-2
price-1
packaging-3 kinda looks like a small tube of toothpaste dont like
but again-NO

I'll have to say that this is one of the worst mascaras I've bought,. Very poor quality. . .And really just a waste of money. .Because It really didn't do anything to my lashes. This was my first Hard Candy product and I'm very disappointed. .

Bought the purple one today on whim while in Walmart. Didn't make my lashes any thicker at all, but it did make them super duper long. You could only see the purple on the ends where the fibres were. I'll probably just use it on my tips with my regular mascara to use it up.

This mascara is AWFUL!! I bought this is purple just to give the tips of my lashes some color. The fibers are odd, and I did not get any color on my lashes at all. Very disappointed.

I bought the primer one which is a white color and I love it. It clings to my lashes, I dont have a problem with application or the fibers getting everywhere. But what I would suggest is to swipe the wand against the sides of the tube to get more product on the wand. It makes my lashes look fuller and paired with your favorite mascara does wonders with length and overall look. what I also like about this is that it doesnt creat a clumpy look it separates and longates each lash induvidually.

What people should know about this product is that it's not a one swipe product, it needs to be layered in order to get the full effect of the fibers
