This is such a great waterproof mascara that I have repurchased a few times already. It adds mega crazy length to my lashes and stays all day without flaking or smudging. Removes easily with makeup remover or soap and water. This mascara has a slight rose floral scent to it, but dissipates quickly and doesn't bother my sensitive eyes.

I have this for like three months now and I love how it looks on my lash. It stays all day from morning to night and dont get smudged but yes removes it is such a hard work but it is worth it.
The reason I dont want to re purchase? because I feel it's make my lash long but not full so it's kinda weird and unnatural to me, maybe I'll search something that can make my lash looked full and long instead of just long

This probably have got to be the best mascara ever. I use to use Maybelline Colossal Volume, it didn't dry fast...compared to this one, it dries quickly after application. It's a pain in the butt to remove but worth it.

I bought this mascara for prom a few months ago but ended up wearing fake lashes. Since I'm not skilled enough to put on fake lashes every day, I wear heaps of mascara to make my own lashes pretty. This mascara blew me away! It doesn't clump whatsoever. It's waterproof but comes off with soap and water. It dries quick as well! It wears down quickly, but initially makes my lashes pop. They look longer and make my eyes look much prettier. It has a scent that doesn't particularly bother me, but it smells a bit like roses. Interesting. I'm always open to trying new mascaras, but I think this one will most definitely be a staple and when I have nowhere to turn, it'll be back to Lash Stiletto!

My lashes are sparse, thin, have an average length and stick straight. I expect mascara to hold a curl and that's why I prefer the waterproof versions.
I love this mascara. It holds a curl, the brush is very easy to use and I find that it gives me a nice result with one coat already. I get decent volume and a nice length. I don't have big smudging problems. And I find it easy to remove at night, using a bit of baby oil + waterproof eye make up remover.
This is one of my favorite mascaras, one that I know I can always rely on. I have repurchased and I'd recommend this to everyone.

I really liked this waterproof mascara! It isn't too harsh on your lashes yet still is really waterproof. It hasn't flaked on me, yet, and I've been wearing it all day! Very good waterproof mascara. My only trouble is it doesn't get my lashes as long as my standard Maybelline Illegal Lengths mascara I use most days, which gets them CRAZY long!

This mascara is great for length and for building up. The handle for the wand is veryyy awkward though. It feels very cube-like in your fingers, and you have to twist it awkwardly to use the product on all sides of the wand, but the product inside is more than decent. The packaging is ADORABLE

I'm new to the mascara world and this is only the second mascara I've ever used. The first was DiorShow mascara. That was pretty.

My lashes are long, thick, not sparse, not too curled and not straight, either. I just wanted something to cover the excess eyeshadow that would inevitably fall on my lashes from applying shadow unto my lids. It lengthened my lashes, it did not add volume but it did define them a little bit and it did try to clump them together if I went over it twice. I applied a tiny bit on my lower lashes and it smudged after 4 hours. Boo!

I have tried tons of different mascaras and this is the only one that is suuuuper separating, lengthening, and volumizing. It doesn't clump at all on my upper lashes, and only clumps a tiny bit on my lower lashes. I LOVE the natural look it gives my upper and lower lashes, especially. I have long, straight lashes, so it's hard to find a mascara that will hold my curl even if it's waterproof. The only downside is that it smudges underneath the corners of my eyes. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't that noticeable of a smudge, but it is very noticeable. Because my skin is oily, the smudged mascara makes my overall makeup look dirty and not fresh or clean looking at all. :( I can always fix it up throughout the day, but I hate having to fix it all the time. I probably will continue my search for my hg mascara once I run out of it, though!

I love this mascara! It lengthens nicely and I can build it without it clumping. I always buy waterproof mascaras as I find they hold a curl better than non-waterproof formulas. Taking it off can be tricky, but I have been using baby oil as makeup remover and it comes right off.

I originally bought this product on holidays when I realised I forgot to pack my waterproof mascara, and just intended to pick up any cheap one from the shops. I got a really pleasant surprise on how good the quality was for a drug store mascara! The formula is nice and creamy, and it really lengthens the lashes. The pigmentation is also really true - it blackened my lashes really nicely. This is a great basic waterproof mascara that I would definitely buy again to take away with me!

This has turned into one of my HGs. I am a bit of a mascara junkie and have tried everything from the most expensive to the least & this one is way better than some of the most expensive brands I have tried. I have decided that the waterproof mascaras work best for what I am looking for as they tend to curl with my lash curler & stay put more so than non-waterproof formulas. From time to time my lashes do decide they want to be sticks with this formula to my quick fix for that is to put one coat on wait for it to dry for 30 seconds & then do my eye lash curler again & fluff them out with my lash comb, works great for me! This & wp Full & Soft by Maybelline are my favs, beat out Dior Show, etc any day for me & the pocket book prefers that as well ;)

Wow luckily I had a good experience with this mascara. I've tried HE mascaras to drugstore mascaras & this is pretty good for a drugstore mascara. It has actually done just as good of a job as some of the more expensive ones I've tried. I love the curved brush just as I did with the lancome hypnose drama. I feel like it makes my lashes curl up and seperate more. Definitely provides length and some volume for me. As far as waterproof this works great. The only problem I have is that the tube dries out faster than other mascaras I've purchased. The rim of the top of the tube is completely dry and I've only had this mascara about a month.

This is my favorite mascara! I stock up every time I go to the drugstore, in case they discontinue it.

I have long lashes, but they are not curly at all and point down unless I curl them (I'm mostly Asian so my hair and lashes are stick straight). This mascara helps hold the curl of my lashes after I curl them ALL DAY. I've even worn this mascara to judo practice (because it was right after class and I didn't have time to take off my makeup), and it stayed put with no smudging, flaking, or transferring.

I like that you can vary the amount you use to build up your lashes. I use one or two swipes for every day, and 3 coats for going out. Make sure you apply the coats quickly before it sets - the formula dries quickly!

TIP #1: when you first open the package, bend the tip of the applicator slightly against the inside of the tube to create a "curved wand." The curved shape makes it much easier to apply!

TIP #2: go to a department store or Sephora and stock up on the disposable mascara wands they offer for free. Use these wands to "clean up" your lashes after applying the mascara to get rid of clumps and separate the lashes. Make sure you clean the disposable wands every so often and throw them out periodically.

Wanted to try this product out as i was browsing for a new mascara to try. This was definitely a let down. Used it twice and havent touche it since. Didnt see much change in volume compared to other ones i've tried and length wasnt up to par either. Made my eyelashes look wierd and the wand makes my eye lashes clump together too. I dont reccomend it. You should skip it and go for something else.

My natural eyelashes are already pretty thick, but they're straight and very short.
This mascara is a *okay*...I was expecting to get super long, clumpy eyelashes, but I didn't get that at all. Instead, I got mediocre length and very few clumps. I guess I should be thrilled about the less-clumps thing, especially since I packed on three (!) coats, but I was really looking forward to getting lots of length like it claimed to give.
The curl-holding power, however, is great! (Maybe that's because I got the waterproof formula, though...?)
I'm really liking the definition this mascara gives me. It's not as defining as the L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes is, but it still defines pretty well. I used this in conjunction with the Maybelline Falsies Waterproof Mascara, and I got satisfactory results. The Falsies really amped up my eyelashes with volume, and it clumped up my eyelashes too, but with one or two swipes of Lash Stiletto, my eyelashes were clump-free and defined again without ruining the volume or length.
The waterproofness (is that even a word?) is great. It really stays put through it all: crying, swimming, showering, and washing my face. It can kind of be a pain in the ass trying to remove it, but ALL waterproof mascaras are, so no surprise there.
The price was $7 at Rite Aid, which is pretty much your typical mascara price.
Would I repurchase? No, I'm still looking for the ultimate lengthening mascara.

This product is mediocre. I absolutely LOVE the fact that it holds my curls, unlike other mascaras I've used, and is in fact waterproof. BUT, I can't stand how it flakes off into my eyes! Seriously, it feels like my eyes are on fire when tiny bits of the mascara end up in them. It's too bad because they for the first time I had a mascara hold up my lashes after applying only one coat... It's just not worth irritating your eyes over.

this has been my favorite mascara for a long time. i can only buy the waterproof formula because it holds the curl of my lashes, otherwise they fall limp. it is difficult to remove so you really need to have eye remover (i use the almay eye remover moisturize wipes and they really work). i don't know if i use the product up too fast, or what, but it does seem like it has to be replaced pretty often. i've tried lots of mascaras and i always go back to using this one. i like layering a mac mascara i have over it (sorry i forget the name) to make my lashes thicker and darker. i'm still searching for an even better mascara, but if and when all else fails, i know that this one will work reasonably well.

PROS
cute packaging
black color
no smudging

CONS
not hold curl
crispy, uncomfy lashes
flaky
not very lengthening
overrated
leaves weird, bent-down, awkward fibers on the tips i
of my lashes

I hate this mascara even more than the Falsies WP.
My favs from Maybeline are Full n Soft WP and one of my all time HGs...One by One WP which is a must have for short, sparse, downward pointing, stubborn lashes like me
