I heard that this mascara is a love or hate mascara and I wanted to try it. The first time i tried it i honestly hated it. The formula is too wet and sticky, it also clumps to easily. When i first tried it i legit had like 5 lashes because it was so clumpy.

Cute and packaging, formula not so good. It is soo runny, and it smudges throughout the day! My lashes look nice, but they dont hold the curls very well. (I have straight asian lashes).

I'm a bit surprised at the low rating for this! While it doesn't provide tons of volume, it lengthens my lashes like no other and they are completely separated and black black black.I personally have this in noir black. It is a pretty wet formula, but I tend to have better results with those. My lashes also feel soft after this dries, unlike some mascaras that lengthen so much - they feel dry and I can...feel them when I blink. Drives me nuts! This doesn't do that. I can see why someone that wasn't very dramatic lashes might not enjoy this, but I still reach for it. For me, it's great for layering under a volumizing one if I want drama. I personally don't experience clumps and flaking or anything. Guess I'm lucky!

I also like the small brush - I find it SO hard to get my outer & inner lashes with the brushes most mascaras have today, they're huge. This is the perfect size for those little lashes and it makes my lashes look so good since they're all completely covered.

Does not layer well and has a tendency to clump. This has a very wet formula and is easily smudged. It does darken lighter lashes but does not lengthen them in any way.

I used to use this mascara when I was a teen. I think it must have been a better product then. This time, I purchased this mascara due to it being on sale. I am very disappointed. I think both the product and the brush are at fault. I was not able to build up a nice, unclumpy coverage. Nor could I easily lengthen or curl my lashes with the mascara. After working on layering the product on my lashes, I took a look and was horrified to see that like another reviewer, my lashes resembled Tammy Fay. So I washed my face and went out without makeup. I will try using one of my other mascaras and this in combo just to use it up since I bought three on sale. Never again!

First of all, I really don't like the brush. It doesn't separate my lashes at all. It just clumps them and doesn't hardly make them longer. But my mom swears by it so I guess it just depends on the person. It's really cheap so it's worth a try.

I too once loved this mascara, but the recipe has changed! While the formula is able to be layered, I always look like Tammy Faye Baker afterward. I am sad to say the old familiar pink and green mascara will no longer be welcomed here.

With this mascara I would never wear alone. It's too liquidy and doesn't hold curl very well. On the other hand, I do recommend this mascara for mixing. You get th best results by applying different mascaras, don't go crazy though. I mean just applying two different ones not like six or five. I normally use this mascara and apply my original one, works great for me. I'd say that you should just give it a try, it's really cheap anyways.

Mascaras are usually hit or miss, and this one is a hit in my family. It's a wetter formula, which makes it great for building volume at the base. It gives the perfect "everyday lashes". Nothing too dramatic. It's very inexpensive too, so that's a plus. I really like it and it's always my backup mascara if I'm running out of a favorite. It's worth it to check it out.

Although this is one of Maybelline's less expensive products, the quality of this product is amazing. The packaging is bright and colorful, and the actual mascara works very well. I use it in Soft Black, and it is perfect.

I don't understand either how this mascara has the reputation of being 'one of the best mascaras.' I am in my 50s and have used almost every brand of mascara there is on the market. To me, this is one of the worst mascaras I have ever used. It doesn't color my lashes, nor does it curl them whatsoever. To me, this mascara did absolutely nothing.

I would love to know who started the rumor that this is the greatest mascara ever!!! I'm thinking the marketing dept. over at Maybelline had something to do w/ it. It's OK for a drug store mascara but it's just OK. Most drug store mascaras are OK. If I see this mascara on1 more list of the best mascaras ever, I'm going to scream!!!!!

I don't understand why this gets really bad reviews. I have been using this since I started wearing mascara. I have tried so many different ones that I have a huge collections of mascaras. I always go back to this one. The only one I have found that I really like is Loreal. I even hate my Lancôme one. Mascara doesn't last long in general. The air gets in the tube and dries it out. Once it gets clumpy throw it out. This is a buildable mascara. I love that the brush is small and sleek so I have more control and it also allows you to go in lash by lash if need be without making a hot mascara mess.

Oh, how I despise this mascara.
I have no idea why this mascara has a reputation for being the "classic" mascara. Immediately, this mascara made my curled eyelashes wilt and droop. My lashes clumped together after only 1 coat and the product itself was gloopy and a little gross to be honest. Since I was in a rush to get to work when I applied this, I used a pencil to separate my lashes as best as I could and ran out the door. When I had time to check it on my lunch break (about 4 hours later), I was shocked that no one had said anything to me! There were not only black smudges under my eyes and all over my lids, but there were black crumbly pieces that had fallen onto my cheeks.
Overall, stay away from this mascara, I've never used a more horrible product!

I really think somewhere along the years this mascaras formula was changed. While I know teenagers use cheap products, due to money issues, I never recall years ago this mascara being as bad as it is.
It seems majority lately are horrible, more than they use to be like something extra horrible is being added.

I put this at a two "lippie"/"star" because while this is bad, I have found worse in my search for something that doesn't make me look like im wearing fake eyelashes, black lash dandruff or that does nothing.

This comes in clear, black or black brown. I find it doesn't clump if you don't use a huge amount of it. Just a single swipe it more than enough for each eye.

After all this talk of this mascara I had to try it. My lashes are very easy to work with (I have great lashes), so this mascara worked o.k., but I could see that those of you with short lashes would not appreciate this mascara. As it says; it's very black. I would see this better as a easy, everyday - look mascara in a brownish shade. Nothing special at all with this mascara, "dessverre" (as we say in Norway) ;)
