I bought this from my local Shoppers Drug Mart's beauty boutique because the clerk suggested it. I really wish i hadn't wasted almost 30 dollars canadian on a piece of rubbish LITERALLY!,, Maybelline has wayyy better lengthening mascaras than this one for less than a fraction of the price. Not impressed at all. Ladies try something else this one is a no no

This mascara wasn't terrible, but it's nothing special. Kind of clumpy, doesn't really do any lengthening. I thought Cover Girl's Lash Blast Length was better than this. It probably won't hurt you, but there are so many better formulas out there to spend your money on!

Bought this at Sephora at the suggestion of another customer. Hated it. Even when I wipe the wand it still clumps like crazy. I intended to return it but gave it to my daughter instead. She hated it too.

I have to agree with toastedmarshmallow, when you apply this mascara the way she suggested it does make a difference. Some of the more expensive mascara's come with the application directions she mentioned ie. YSL faux cils. This mascara did what it claimed, gave me sexy long lashes, did not flake at all. I took one lippie off because it smudged a little but overall great mascara. Application is everything.UPDATE: I have been wearing this for a while now and while it does lengthen, it gives more of a natural look and I am want Wow eyelashes.

Like others who posted, this mascara is thin and has a natual finish. However, for half the price (and more convenient to find) you can use Maybelline's Full and Soft. Bourjois used to make great mascaras. Why this company decided to discontinue Volume Glamour and their Delicate mascaras (which I loved both), I don't know. Average and overpriced.

A decent mascara that adds a bit of length and defines my lashes a bit more. But it's nothing special and has a really bad smell. The brush is also very long which makes it hard to apply. It's not cheap, so I wouldn't purchase again.

I've been on a quest for a mascara that does not smear. This is good stuff but by the end of the day it smears, like most brands. I'm still searching!

It's a good mascara and it doesn't get all clumpy, but it didn't lengthen all that great. My lashes are so short it's sad, and this didn't seem to help too much. It's good for a natural look, but I wouldn't pay $12 again for the natural look.

I found this mascara to be average at best. It lengthened fine & made my eyelashes a bit defined. I can get the same average look from a d/s mascara. I got this in a swap, so I wouldn't purchase this.

I decided that I would buy a plain and simple mascara, as I have never really gotten into wearing mascara at all, but am going to stop wearing all other eye makeup for the time being and thought this would be a good enhancement. As others have noted, the formula is quite dry. Perhaps I will try holding the tube under hot water as another reviewer suggested. That being said, it does lengthen my lashes quite nicely with one coat. I don't notice flakes coming off under my eyes, but by the end of the day, nothiing comes off on the cotton when I remove it, so it must be going somewhere, yes? All in all, a pretty mediocre across the board product.

The best thing I can say about this mascara is that the packaging is nice. The formula didn't hold up, and I also demand that a mascara keep the curl my Shu puts in my lashes. No such luck. This is down there with EL's More Than Mascara as a turkey. For me anyway.

Ok I had to redo my review on this. The length is ok and it doesn't really clump, but it flakes really bad. I put it on and a couple hours later I have all these little black speckles all over. Not good. I tried Bourjois a while ago and the same thing happened. Bottom line: Flakes are bad.

This is an ok mascara...Not natural but not dramatic. It lengthens pretty well, though not as well as others I've tried (Defincils, Voluminous, etc.) The formula is pretty dry though. Also, I don't like how Bourjois mascaras aren't sealed on the shelf, but I guess this is a pretty good mascara for the price $10US at sephora. I prob. won't buy this particular one again, I want to try Bourjois Coup de Theater

This mascara was so so. Performed ok-no clumping, smudging, minor flaking but I was not impressed with the brush. It seemed like it was hard to get the product on it and then to my lashes. I think there are cheaper mascaras out there for the same/better results.

not very impressive at all. i was disapointed because i've heard such good things about this mascara. it simply darkened and lengthened a TINY bit.i could barely tell the difference. i'd rather go out with no mascara, and that is saying a lot considering i have never left my house without mascara since i started wearing make up.

This DID NOT work for me until I immersed it into hot water out of boredom. I figured it would do something to the viscousity of the mascara content....Anyway the heat worked its magic and this mascara applied BEAUTIFULLY. It curled *and* lengthen my lashes!!! And then it thickened after I put on another coat... Now my lashes look so fat and nice! Try it if you have the mascara and it didnt work for you....!

This is quite good - i bought it in green. The colour is nice and it does lengthen, although i have found better mascaras for separation.
I'm still on a mission for my perfect mascara .. so no, i wouldn't re-purchase.
Quite cheap though, with a good range of colours.
