I really like this mascara. Sure, it doesn't have the best staying power ever, but for this price, I think that the soft, no-clump lashes I get are very nice indeed. Will probably re-purchase!

I usually use this mascara paired with Covergirl Lash Perfection to give me everything I want from lashes: length, volume, thickness, and definition. I find that this mascara alone can get a little clumpy, but over Lash Perfection, really gives me those lashes you just want to butterfly kiss. ;)

I bought this mascara based on reviews here. My experience: decidedly meh. Doesn't put a lot of product on the lashes... doesn't build well. My lashes look pretty skimpy at the end.

Hard to remove. Makes raccoon eyes the next morning and I still have residue of it that doesn't wash off for a few days.

I got this mascara from the reviews here on MakeupAlley and i have to say that this mascara was pretty disappointing.

When i first tried it out i was pretty impressed, it gave my lashes a soft and natural look.

BUTTTT...

It dried up pretty quickly compared to other mascaras that i tried. It was also a pain to get off. So if you're looking for a really really REALLY waterproof mascara, this is the one for you! I literally had to rub each eyelash using a cotton swab with lotion and would still wake up the next morning with little flakes of mascara on and around my eyes.

If you're looking for a mascara to thicken or give you dramatic lashes, this is not for you.

it was great while it lasted, but once it dried up.. .. .. :/

Recently in an attempt to declutter my vanity, I decided to throw out all of my mascaras that just weren't working. This is one of the only two left! I've been using this mascara since high school. It lengthens my short and sparse lashes very well and gives it a light, feathery natural look. It doesn't dry out too quickly and it's easy to layer other mascaras on top of this.

Pros:
-It doesn't smudge or flake! I found it hard to find a non-waterproof mascara that didn't leave black marks under my eye after a few hours as I have quite oily lids after a long day. This lasted the whole day without smudging or flaking in +30 degree weather.
-So easy to remove - I think this is the only mascara that I can just use water to remove
-It doesn't clump the lashes, it actually separates it very well
-Very natural looking yet dark enough to emphasise the lashes

Cons:
-Doesn't add volume
-Doesn't lengthen as well as other mascaras - Does well enough to make it natural looking though
-Does clump up a tiny bit once I kept layering it on heaps

I was expecting much more volume from this mascara. Saw all the great reviews but I wasn't really impressed. I found I had to use more coats for this to even show up compared to my favorite Voluminous mascara by L'Oreal. Nothing really compares to it so far! This does make your lashes softer but I didn't get length or volume? Its not bad .. but I probably wouldn't repurchase.

I'm really happy I bought this mascara. I honestly would've never even tried it had it not been for the many reviews. Two coats gave me the voluminous, "feathery", long lashes I always strive for sans CLUMP! YAY!

This is a mascara that doesn't belong into Maybelline's selection in my country anymore. However i used few tubes when they still sold it years ago. I think it's quite okay mascara. Nothing special tho and it starts to flake off after sometime. This always happens to me with Maybelline's mascaras which is why i don't buy them usually.I haven't tried waterproof versions.

Glad MUA has been good to me throughout my search for new products to replace my HGs that were a bit on the expensive side. So besides Maybelline's Stiletto, this is my other fav mascara for daily use. The positives about in comparison to Stiletto is that it does not flake and thickens my thin lashes. It gives the good length with multiple coats. Though the wand is kind of annoying as it is big and not helpful in separating my lashes unless I am 1 cm away from the mirror, okay so a little exaggeration but seriously sometimes I feel like I'm using a pipe cleaner. Not a big deal, it''s easy to manipulate and can use a separate wand.

It was average, just average. I know this is a popular drugstore mascara and I've tried liking this...I bought this 3 times! I have short asian eyelashes and they did fine on volume, but they barely lengthened them. I usually like the maybelline line of mascaras, but not this one

This is a nice, effective mascara. I find it great for everyday use, but doesn't pack the wow factor I like for night.

After reading great reviews on this product I decided to give it a shot. The price is good, but IMHO, i've seen better products out there for a similar and/or even lower price. The consistency is more on the thinner side, it may add length to the lashes a bit but doesn't do much for volume or thickness as it says "Full N Soft Mascara". It's an okay product but I know there are better products out there for the price. :(

Very good mascara! I like how it doesn't clump, flake, or smudge. You only really need one or two coats of this stuff and curl and your lashes are defined. This is really an underestimated product

This is one of my favorite mascaras for daytime wear as it lengthens but doesn't thicken so much so that I look like I'm wearing falsies to work. I love the formula. (I have the waterproof as well but haven't tried it yet).
It doesn't flake or turn my lashes crunchy and dry, which I HATE. It also holds curl, doesn't take long to dry, doesn't make my eyes itch or water and is easy to remove. The black is also, you know, BLACK.
The only con I have is the wand. It's too long and the bristles are too big (wide?) but I usually just deal with that or use a different wand to apply as I haven't found a formula that I like more than this! Another con is that it smudges under my eyes (on the sides) and I don't have watery eyes, just oily skin.
EDIT: The waterproof version gives me even better results! But, it does leave my lashes stiff, smudges underneath and flakes into my eyes at the end of the day. It's also really hard to remove even with oily eye makeup remover.

Loved this mascara! Creates very natural volume, and won't clump together or flake no matter how many coats you apply. Would definitely recommend it!

I love this mascara. I use everyday, I usually use 3 different mascaras but with this one I find that I only need to use just this one. It gives a natural look to your eyelashes. It doesn't clump or flake on me.

I've been using the waterproof version of this for years.. I get so many compliments when I wear this mascara. Gives me a ton of volume and separates very well. Definitely my HG mascara!!

My favorite! For best results, apply Covergirl lash blast fusion over the top of this.

Best. Ever. Or just of all time. I've been wearing this for 10 years and absolutely nothing beats it. I use the waterproof formula as I find that it holds the curl, doesn't smudge or rub off, etc.
