LOVE this. I have used this mascara for over a year now, and I am hooked. Gives thick, full lashes and is practically impossible to smudge. I love this because it comes off so easily in the shower and wont give you raccoon eyes. You simply rinse in warm water and the "tubes" slide off. It also layers easily, one coat for day and two for night. Any more than two and it will start to look a little clumpy/too artificial though. Other than that, i definitely recommend this.

Love this. I prefer tube mascaras, as all others leave me looking like a raccoon. This has the added bonus of the primer on the other tip. I love twofers! I works as well as the other tube mascaras I've tried...Blinc, Clinique's...and it is cheaper. Just wish I could find it in a brown as well.

This is the best mascara I've tried so far! It doesn´t smudge at all and you can wash it off using just warm water. I always curl my lashes before applying mascara and this mascara holds the curl all day long...and all night long! You can even sleep with it on and wake up the next day with fabulous lashes!

This mascara is a must if you don't want ANY smudging at all. It doesn't give the best volume or separating, but it's my every day for work mascara simply because it does stay and no flaking at all. It's easy to take off with warm water. What I do is rise with warm water, then kind of gently pinch off the 'tubes' of mascara off my eyes. It sounds weird, but you'll get used to it. I really love using this on my lower lashes cause the color doesn't slip or flake at all. I highly recommend this.

Ok in all the mascaras that I have used I rate this one being the best I've come across. It goes on and stays on all day even in rain I can feel confident that it wont smudge or flake off like most mascaras do after a few hours. It comes off really easily and cleanly which is what I love best about it. I find that for best volumising effect is to hold the primer/mascara wand on a verticle so you're only coating your lashes with the tips using an upward and outward stroke and then go over the lashes quickly with the wand on a horizontal as you normally do to even out the product over your lashes. The other trick is to know exactly when to apply the mascara after the primer has been applied (about 30 seconds) and apply your mascara in quick even strokes to prevent clumping as the mascara does dry up a bit quickly.

I just finished this tube, but have no plans to repurchase. I really liked the primer as it added a tonne of volume, separation, length, held the curl, and made my teeny tiny sparse lower lashes look amazing. I was also really impressed with how easy the tubes removed with warm water and my facial cleanser without ruining my lashes. What I really hated about this product was the mascara as it was dry, flaky, and barely coated the tubes. I ended up using other brands of mascara with a wetter formula and had achieved fantastic results. The main reason I have no intention of repurchasing is I'm new to the whole lash primer world and desire to try other products. I would prefer to purchase a whole tube of great primer then waste my money on a product that includes a great primer and horrible mascara. If L'Oreal just sold the primer/extended beauty tubes separately I would not only buy, but stock up.

Absolutely love this mascara. No, it doesn't give you really, really voluminous lashes, but frankly, for me, that look isn't really appropriate for everyday wear - this is perfect for everyday mascara. It absolutely does not come off with tears or sweat - but easily removes with warm water, as it states on the package. I've never curled my lashes, so that's not an issue for me. This is great stuff, I hope they continue to make it.

I really like this mascara. When I want a little extra oomph...I put my Laura Mercier mascara over this mascara (it's very black and eye defining)...I did it as a test, wondering if adding a regular mascara over the tubing would negate the benefits of non smudging tubes. Surprisingly it didn't. I curl my lashes before AND agree that you need to curl them again after this mascara....the curl really lasts forever doing it this way.

So, tubing mascaras finally made it to the drug store realm. They're quite well known as department store territory. I actually prefer this to my $24 KissMe, as I actually have the option to wear the white (volumizing) primer or not. I actually used KissMe for a good 6 years, and when I ran out of my last tube of it a few months back, I decided to try the L'Oreal. I'm not looking back, that's for sure. If you've never tried a tubing mascara, this is what you're in for: Mascara that applies just like mascara should, yet does not flake or bleed throughout the day. I've heard some say "but it's too hard to get off! Makeup removers don't work!" and THAT is the beauty of tubing mascaras. You don't need makeup remover, and if you know how, they're easy peasy to remove. What's the secret? Warm water. Yep, just let them soak in warm water for about 30 seconds or so and then wipe them away. The tubes will actually stay intact and slide off your lashes whole. If you just stand under your shower stream and let the water pull them off, you don't even have to touch your eyes. The downsides are that apparently lashes don't hold a good curl with this (or any) tubing mascara and that there are two steps and you HAVE to cover the primer (white) with the mascara completely. Or you can do what I do when I'm in a hurry. Skip the base, and sacrifice a bit of thickness. Oh, and also if you apply 42 coats of your normal mascara to get those big bushy tarantulas crawling from your eyes, you're probably not going to get that look from this. It's not meant to be applied in a ton of coats. It does give good length and volume, though, on its own merit and when compared with KissMe.

I work very long hours, and, the issue I have with a lot of mascaras, especially during the summer, is that, waterproof or not, they smudge, and I end up either looking like a punk rocker or a panda at the end of the day. Not with this, however. It lives up to the ads, you apply it, it stays on til you take it off, and you don't have to fuss about much to get it off, just my Purity and warm water and a washcloth, and off it goes!

I saw some other reviewers talking about the application, it's very simple, apply the white (primer) to each upper lash, then each lower lash. Let it sit about ten seconds, then apply the black coat same way and you're done!

This is a really great mascara, it doesn't smudge or flake and when worn in the rain or in water, only comes off if you rub your lashes. I like the look it gives my lashes but I think it could do a little better job of lengthening and volumizing. I really can't complain though because the mascaras I have that do lengthen and volumize are the ones that smudge and especially flake off, which I hate more than anything. It is important to apply the primer and then mascara immediately, or else it will dry and look clumpy instead of separated. I will definitely continue to buy this and I see why it is so popular and has such good reviews. I think maybe I will have to play with it a little bit to get some more volume out of it. I'm loving it more every day.

I highly recommend this - I never had a mascara actually freak me out because of how long and fake it made my lashes look. I mean that in the best possible way. There's a touch and go period where one has to get used to the whole application process, but after that it's great. I could rave on forever about this - it's the only mascara i've tried that does exactly what it advertises.

I LOVE THIS MASCARA! Ok so it took me a while to get used to it but I can finally say that I am in love!!! It stays on all day, does not flake off into my eyes like Maybelline Falsies or even my much-loved Voluminous Million Lashes and OF COURSE it makes my lashes look much longer. I was so tired of wiping with my fingers the black markings of mascara that these would leave behind under my eyes (no to mention retouching the undereye concealer).
What makes this mascara amazing is taking it OFF!! No need to rub like crazy. I have the one in blackest black and I will stick to that. Will definitely repurchase. Great Mascara.

I need a lot of moisturizer under my eye in oder to prevent caking of the massive amount of concealer necessary to cover my under-eye circles. I also find it important to wear sunscreen in this delicate area. Because these oily products are used in the under-eye area, I often end up with racoon eyes even when I use waterproof mascara as the oil in the moisturizer and sunscreen is the perfect medium to dissolve the mascara. This mascara that builds up under my eyes is not easily removed and contributes further to my dark circles. However, beauty tubes eliminated this problem and is also easier on my lashes because the removal is easier. My only complaint is it does not seem to thicken my lashes or create quite the same dramatic effect that my former favorite covergirl lashblash was able to able to create. I have no experienced any flaking as of yet, but I have only been using the mascara for a few days, so I will update further if I find any additional problems.

What is with your products lately, L'Oreal? This was another huge disappointment. 2 major problems--one, it clumps horribly; and two, I could never get the black pigment to completely cover the white pigment. Who wants zebra-stripe eyelashes?? I can't tell you anything about the staying power, because it looked so awful I removed the "tubes" before leaving the house. Not recommended at all.

I will NEVER use any other mascara. Its best perk is that it will never run or need makeup remover. it coats the lashes and only nneeds water to remove..and pulls off with your fingers very easily. so it is not "waterproof" but if you get them wet on accident or shed a few tears..just dont wipe and let it air dry and u will not have a problem. def. one of a kind and will never ever flake. length and thickness is awesome..if u dont want a thick look, just go light on the primer.

Several of my friends have been raving about "tube" mascara, this was a BOGO sale at Ulta so I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm totally converted! I'm loving the tube mascara! It stays on all day, does not flake off into my eyes like all my previous mascaras - I was so fed up with picking globs out of my tear ducts with q-tips every night. I don't have this problem with Beauty Tubes.

I have bad seasonal allergies and my eyes are so watery and itchy right now and sometimes I just can't help but rub my eyes...Beauty Tubes hasn't smudged yet for me. And washing off with just warm water is fantastic because my sensitive eyes and skin could never tolerate makeup removers.

Besides just wearing well, the beauty tubes look great, too. This formula really seems to make my lashes look much longer. I think next time I repurchase I'll go with black (rather than brown/black) to get a more dramatic darker lash but otherwise, I'm very happy with how long and thick my lashes look.

Will definitely repurchase. This stuff is great.

This mascara is AMAZİNG. It doesn't smudge at all and when it does (had a spontaneous hamam visit once, and due to the moisty heat it did come off slightly) you don't get 'panda eyes' but can just whipe it away.

Even when you use it in the morning and go to a party at night that lasts till dawn, it doesn't come off!

It's also VERY easy to remove, either with running warm water or just a wash cloth with hot water. I just put the warm wash cloth on my eyes for a few seconds and can then just whipe the tubes off. NO lashes that fall out due to aggressive rubbing, NO mascara bits that weren't visible at night but make you wake up with dark lines under your eyes in the morning, but just very clean and healthy eye lashes with the use of hot water ONLY.

It gives a rather natural effect if you use little and doesn't give you thick lashes that stick together or lashes that look shiny black. If you do want such an effect for a night out, just go over your lashes again. The lengthening effect is also worth mentioning. When using the white one first, you can really see it sort of builds up on the top of your lashes, creating a long black lash when going over it with the black one. I already have pretty long lashes, but this makes the result look stunning. Really good for people with short lashes Id say!

The price is somewhat expensive for a drugstore mascara, but compared to brands like Dior it's a fair price, and definitely worth the money anyway.

AMAZING. The best drugstore mascara I've had so far.

I've tried nearly every drugstore mascara MUA raves about - Falsies, Voluminous, Grow Luscious. Of course, I tried Beauty Tubes LAST.


This mascara is amazing. I don't have incredibly oily lids, incredibly short or LONG lashes. They aren't naturally incredibly thick or even incredibly sparse. To put it short, I'm pretty average.


But this mascara makes my lashes look miles long. It also never clumps and I never need a second coat (I'm not big on second coats anyways). Best part is that while it isn't waterproof, it never smudges or flakes and it comes off easily with my MAC Cleanse Off Oil.


I seriously love this mascara to death. If you're looking for a great, drugstore priced tubing mascara, this is a great one to start with!
