I've been using this mascara for a month, and I do love the brush, the bristles and that the stopper has the perfect size so that you do not have tons of product in your wand, what I just can't stand is the formulation, it may help to make your lashes grow( I haven't noticed a difference) but, the product is very watery, so after 30 seconds of curling my lashes and applying it, my lashes are all weighed down ( I must say I do NOT have thin weak lashes) and it flakes like crazy!

I'm hoping that the formulation starts to dry, and maybe then this mascara will be good.

THIS IS THE BEST MASCARA EVER!!!!!I don't know why everybody seems to have something negative to say about it. It is true that at first it does clump a bit and can be hard to get on, but after using it for a week or so it doesn't do it any more. What people don't seem to get is that part of the point of this mascara is to help your eylashes grow longer and fuller. When that starts to happen (usually within a week or so) it no longer clumps and looks great. As a result of my OCD I pulled out a lot of my lashes and it looked horrible. I finally stoped and they grew back but not as long or thick as they had been before. Not only does it make them look longer and fuller with it on, but ever since I started using this my eyelashes have become longer and fuller without it. At this point I can actually see like 10 new eyelashes on each side coming in. It is the best feeling ever. I keep getting told how amazing they look and what I've been using on them. I also LOVE the shape of the wand. I makes it so easy to apply it on every lash. It also makes it so that you can put more on the outside lashes to get that winged flare or you can put the most on in the middle and make your eyes look so much bigger. I know that some people don't seem to get why one side is flat but it is actually a really good think. This makes it so that the brush can be big enough ti give you that volume and length, but still small enough that you can manuver it and not have it cover your whole eye. Though it clumps at first (I recomend scraping as much off as you can while pulling it out of the tube) and you may have to redo it a few times before you figure out the right way to use it, once you get the hang of it this mascara is the best ever!!!! I would totally buy it again. I recomend you at least try it for at least a week. It isn't one of the really expensive mascara's so it's worth a shot. PLEASE try it:):):)

Okay so I tried the lash accelerator and loved that so I decided to give the volume Accelerator a shot... I'm kind of on the fence with it. I like it but I don't like it. What I like about it is that it holds a curl all day long but what I don't like is that it seems clumpy unless I run a comb through it after it dries. I do like the brush design though. It is wide at the base and tapers off into a finer point to get all those hard to reach inner and outer corner lashes. I would not buy this product again... But I will go back to the lash accelerator.

Best mascara ever! Makes my lashes look long and thick, no smudges, and comes off clean! A little pricey, but totally worth it because it works!

This helps me make my eyelashes look fuller.the brisles are really stiff and i tend to use this mascara last to help seperate any clumped or stuck together lashes. I didnt see any growth, the mascara is pretty liquidy and would be great if you like light 1 coat mascara.I stoppped using it att about 1 month and used it cause it helps add volume.Now its back in my routine but i wouldn't buy it again. it reminds me of maybellines Great Lash oldschool stuff. It does get every lash but its not thick enough for me.once it drys....it holds on for dear god...i never have had issues with it flaking off. when i pull on it to come off its pretty stuck in my P.O.V. It stings if it comes in my eyes after i wash it off,and it does come off easily.

I like this product because It Makes my lashes look really curled. but this can get clumpy after the first coat and it smells a little strange which isn't that big of a problem because on your lashes you cant smell it. This is a wet formula but after a month it will dry up a bit which makes it better. If you cry this will burn really bad so not good for sensitive or watery eyes. i like the brush because its a natural bristled one and i hate plastic wands.i wouldnt re purchase this just because the falsies by maybelline is better in my opinion.

There are some pros and cons about this mascara. I like it because it curls my eyelashes without using a eyelash curler. I also like the length it gives off, but when i wash my make up off it makes my eyelashes fall out. Every time i use it they fall out but when i switch my mascara it doesnt do the same. I have not seen a growth in my eyelashes and ive been using this product for over 2 months now. I highly recommed you try it but if it makes your eyelashes fall out, stop using it.

I just purchased this recently and I have to say I am loving this product so far. I have normal lashes - nothing to write home about. They aren't curly or super long but they are not super short either. Mascara is something I like to wear everyday, so I have tried quite a few mascaras. Normally I pair two different mascaras together to give my lashes the most volume and length that I can achieve with two separate products. But this is the first mascara I can use alone and it gives me volume, length and even a bit of lift. I got this at CVS buy one get one 1/2 off so it wasn't too pricey. I would definitely buy this again.

I HATED this mascara. The formula was wet and scarcely made it on to the brush. The brush was horrible and the bristles were far too close together. It took me about 10 minutes and about 20 coats to get ANY sort of volume, and even then I wouldn't call it volume. "Volume Accelerator" what a joke! I URGE you to think twice about buying this mascara. It smells disgusting and the product is inferior. If you're looking for volume I suggest you try "One by One" by Maybelline. It's much better.

I love this mascara. I have been using it for about a month now, every day! I love everything about it. It makes my lashes very long and does not clump unless I put way to much on. It also leaves my lashes feeling better than most mascaras (More natural)
The only thing is that I don't really think it makes your lashes "grow" like it says it will, but it makes them look very long when it is on !

This product does volumize my lashes, but it's very flakey. It dripped into my eyes on multiple occasions while applying, and after wearing for a bit it flaked off onto my cheek and into my eyes.
I haven't noticed it naturally "volumize" my eyelashes yet, but it does volumize them fairly well while wearing it. Not the best thing. Try the volume accelerator by Rimmel instead - it actually works unlike this.

I actually really like this product. It lengthens my eyelashes like WOW. After a while, your natural lashes start to lengthen too. It's an amazing product especially to get those inner eyelashes and the bottom ones.

I love this mascara! It does what it's supposed to do - accelerates! My lashes got longer and fuller overtime. I get a lot of compliments and questions on which mascara I use. I believe it's the best feedback for a makeup consumer to receive. No smudges, no falling apart, just perfection

So very disappointed with this mascara. I really really like Rimmel's Lash Accelerator and so was looking forward to the same product but one that built volume. No go. It is the flakiest mascara I've ever used. Couple of hours in, I had actual speckles all under my eyes, in the corners of my eyes...not good at all! Will never buy again. Going back to the original Lash Accelerator and will use it in rotation with Lancome Doll Eyes.

The formula is very wet and I always end up making a mess all around my eyes. Doesn't volumize (although to be fair it doesn't claim to), doesn't hold a curl and gives my lashes very minimal length. Ontop of that, the formula makes my sensitive eyes burn and water. A definite miss for me.

I liked this mascara at first. It made my lashes nice and long with an ample amount of volume, however, after about a month, the formula started to dry out and it became one big clumpy mess. The clumpiness also happened with Lash Accelerator. I will never buy another Rimmel mascara. I'm done with this brand.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice mascara. It made my eyelashes look very nice, black and feathery and (in my opinion) it is definitely an improvement over the Lash Accelerator that came out slightly before it, but the bristles in the brush are just placed too far apart for my liking.

So far I am really loving this mascara. I have tried several over the last week and so far this is by far the best one. I am unsure whether it actually lengthens or creates more volume yet but the mascara itself performs well for me. It does not clump or flake off and that is amazing in itself. It is not waterproof so it cleans off well too. I have slept in this mascara and was pleased to find it did not end up all black under my eyes. My lashes have always been pretty long when I put mascara on them but some of the others I tried did nothing to show off the length. This mascara does show how long my lashes are already. I am looking forward to finding more volume or thicker lashes. My lashes are not that thin but I would love them to be even thicker. So if this mascara does live up to it's advertisement, I will post that too. The color is a great black too. So all in all, it this mascara does not dry out in two weeks time or less, I will repurchase.

This mascara does give a lot of length and volume, but it is way too much work to make it look good. I found it to be thick and clumpy at the first use so I know after it "matures" it's going to be impossible. I love the packaging and shape of the brush grabs and wings out my lashes very nicely. Because of the shape there is no cheating on my left eye I have to turn the brush the correct way to get the full affect. First, I have to blot off some product on paper. Then I use this mascara followed by another underwhelming Rimmel mascara, Lash Maxxx, to get kinda defined, thick and long lashes, but I always have to clean up a little transfer on my brow bone. If I accidentally get a touch on my lower lashes they look stupidly overdone. I can't attest to the color or ability to hold curl because I have black, naturally curled lashes. I can see this being great for someone with very sparse, fine and short lashes, but for me the results are not worth the effort.
