It's a "ColorStay" - having been a fan of Revlon Colorstay since it first launched - this lives up to the ColorStay line.

Removing it - use a silicone based remover. Try Neutrogena's.

This is my 'first coat' after curling (also a light coat on bottom lashes) and let t dry completely. Then follow with 2 coats (both sides of the upper lash) and only 1 on the lower - of the Grow Luscious. Allow all that to dry then another coat of the Overtime.

I admit - it takes time. But the overtime as a final coat will pretty much seal any mascara.

It has good deep color and doesn't clump for me. The brush is not overly large - so there is no marking up my eyes due to the size.

I really love really love this product. Makes my lashes long, soft and the black color is great. Taking off is a bit of a pain but I love how it makes my lashes look I will put up with it.

I think this was just an eh product for me.. It clumped, but it did lengthen a bit and stayed all day on my lashes. It also does flake a bit sometimes. I think there are better mascaras out there, for a cheaper price also. Still on the hunt for my HG mascara.....

After I bought this mascara, I read a lot of bad reviews about it. Feeling anxious about having wasted my money, I tried the product on my lashes right away. Fortunately, it works really well for me. I first curl my lashes and then apply the mascara in just 2 swipes for my top lashes and also another 2 swipes for my bottom lashes. It does clump a tiny, tiny bit for me, but that can be easily fixed with a lash brush. It makes my black lashes look longer, feels light, and doesn't smudge. I think it's great!

I can be great..
I bought this and after some trial and error I figured out how to use it so it works wonderfully, It both thickened and lengthened my lashes. However, it's hard to use. One trick is you need to wipe of the extra product off the wand, especially when it's new otherwise IT WILL (this is a guarantee) clump very badly.
When you apply it, you need to put it on pretty quickly, then work out all the clumps with the mascara wand or a lash brush BEFORE it dries. When I do this, it works really well, doesn't smudge of smear all day, and looks really great. A lot of people may not like the hassle, as this mascara isn't too easy to use, but it does work nicely if you use it right

Comes within a (clumped) hair of being the worst mascara I've ever tried. If you're looking for a difficult-to-remove mascara that clumps badly, this will fit the bill. Bad enough I won't even give it away, but will return for a refund.

Marked the price as $$$, because any money spent on this is too much.

Packaging closes with a satisfying *click!* but really... that's the best I can say for it.

It's my favorite mascara! My lashes never hold curl! But this mascara I can go all day and and lit looks like I'm wearing false lashes (many guys think I do with this mascara) it adds volume and length with a simple mascara wand. It's what I use now everyday ! I use to use high end ones like YSL and Lancôme but those are shit compared to this bad ass mascara!

Worst mascara I have tried so far. That means worse than my one dollar jordana back in the day. The product is really thick like glue. It clumps and flakes like a mother.... the sad part is ..it claims not to flake.It may last all day but with the clumpy messy lashes who wants that. I would only use it maybe when I am wearing my glasses..it can lengthen them ok but with how nasty and clumpy they look like I will pass. I have tried to make it work...mess with a new technique but no go. This product makes me wonder what revlon was thinking. End.

I found this long-lasting but very clumpy. Will not be repurchasing.

I didn't care for this. I was so excited that Revlon had a new lengthening mascara! But it doesn't really lengthen my lashes. I would have thought this was a volumizing mascara. The funny thing is, the Revlon PhotoReady mascara that came out a little while back is advertised as a volumizing mascara, even though most reviewers including myself thought it was more of a lengthening mascara. I didn't like how this looked. It wasn't clumpy, but it was very wet. It is very waterproof though! Almost too waterproof. If you're really looking for a seriously waterproof mascara, this will be right up your alley. But for me, it was such a hassle to take off, I had to tug so hard it ripped off a few lashes. I don't recommend this for most people! But if what I described appeals (and I'm not being sarcastic, I think for some people this might be a good option) check it out

First off, I would like to specify that this review is for the new Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lengthening Mascara. I bought mine in blackest black, for only $2.49 on Manager's Special at my local Kroger. I had been wanting to try it and when I saw it in the clearance bin, I figured that was my perfect opportunity to snatch it up lol Anyway, I would say that this mascara performs well. It lengthens my lashes very nicely, but it is kind of on the clumpy side. I only put on 2 coats of mascara usually, and even after just one coat this mascara got clumpy looking. It definitely holds up all day, but what killed this masacara for me was the fact that it is SOOO HARD to take off! Yes, I enjoy a long-wearing mascara as does most people, but when I am ready to take it off I want it to come off with ease. I don't want to have to fight to take it off and that's what happened with it for me. I use Neutrogena Makeup Remover (in the blue bottle) which I think is a very good quality makeup remover, and I had to practically scrub the mascara to get it off. It came off in flakes, it took several of my eyelashes off with it and it just was not a good experience. I have this mascara in my makeup bag, along with my Bare Escentuals Buxom mascara for my everyday makeup routine and I always pick the Buxom mascara. I dread even thinking about putting this mascara on just because I know what a hard time I am going to have trying to take it off at night. All I can say is I am so glad I only spent $2.49 on it and not the original $8 or whatever on it, and I would never buy this one again. I don't care how nicely it lengthens my lashes, not worth the hassle for me.

I found this lasted most of the day on me but it did flake only in a weird way. When I touched my eye makeup to smooth my crease the mascara sort of disintegrated like my lashes had been sprayed with a coating that when merely touched then shattered. In addition when I took off my mascara in the evening I had a bump along the lash line that fortunately was gone in the morning but there is something in this mascara my eyes don't like.
