I (kind of) like this mascara. It may not be volumizing enough for night-wear but for days when I like to look natural I always use this one. Unlike many other reviewers I find that this mascara stays on my lashes all day (my eyes are pretty dry though so most mascaras do).

Like many other users mentioned- the formula IS watery, but that doesn't bother me at all, it just makes the result look more natural. I don't like applying several layers of mascara (seems like most girls do though) and I find that one layer of this is just enough for _day wear_.

The packaging is sort of unglamourous, which is a draw-back because I do love to decorate my bathroom with fancy-looking make-up products. But the mascara is cheap and it doesn't sting or irritate my sensitive eyes. Plus I can always hide it behind some of my more flattering products.

As a mascara lover and a daily user of critical standards, this mascara doesn't pass the test. I got mine in blue, washable version, at a discounted price and lucky i did that as it is certainly an overcharged ordinary product. The formula is too watery and do not dries fast enough for any lash buildup. It requires lots of waiting/drying time in between 3-4 coats to build up my usual plush long thick lashes, let alone for its 'volumizing' claim. The mascara wand is just an ordinary brush. Furthermore, the formula do irritate my eyes when i test it out without contact lens on so non-contact lens wearer, beware! In addition, a mention about the colour as it is an interesting shade of blue that doesn't come close to any vivid shade of blue yet imparts a very interesting blue sexy tint which i like. Overall, it is not a worthy product as i'm sure there are better quality products out there that delivers and perhaps at a cheaper price. the end.

I don't like this mascara, doesn't give me any volume, the formula is too wet..
I prefer Anna Sui Long lash mascara, MAC fibre rich mascara, or.. even Lancome (without fibres) Amplicils to this
This one is much cheaper than those three..
and the only good thing about this product is.. it is NOT tested on animals..
but.. I don't see the results on my eyelashes, too wet formula, and it smudge easily, bled underneath my eye.. (NOT PRETTY)
The packaging is actually nice n simple anyway..

Works well,reasonably priced,and does not irritate my eyes.Also,TBS does not test on animals and uses a lot of community trade ingredients in their cosmetics.

This is a pretty decent Volume mascara. I would use this in favour of spending a fortune on Lauder or Lancome like I usually do. This one gives realitvly long full lashes.
