My sister reckons this is the holy grail of all mascaras. I personally can't see the use in such a tiny brush. Sure it can "discover" all your lashes (especially on Asian eyes with sparse lashes), but I don't have 15 min spare time in the morning to stand in front of the bathroom mirror "discovering" lashes whilst I'm running late for work. Full n Soft does the job in 2 strokes.

Used it in the past and have found myself going back to it time and time again.
I'm one of those people who gets smudges everywhere when applying mascara, but with this little wand I'm smudge free! It separates every single upper and lower lash and makes them look nice and long. I only wish they made the waterproof version in brown too! If you're looking for lush, full lashes you might want something different, but if you're looking for separation and volume, give it a shot.

I was not very impressed by this mascara. Although it was able to reach the hard to reach ones near the inner corners of my eye, the mascara actually made them look very awkward and out of place. Then, for the entire day, my eyes were being irritated by my own lashes poking me. However, it did give those lashes good length. Also I wouldn't purchase this again because it kind of expensive for something that I would only use for my inner corners of my eyes.

I was lucky enough to receive this mascara from a Maybelline giveaway and I love it. I'm not sure it's still available in Australia, I haven't seen it anywhere in a long time, which is so disappointing.
The thing I love the most probably is the thin brush. It gets to every lash, which the brushes of my other mascaras don't do. Because of this, it's also fantastic for the bottom lashes, the chances of getting mascara under your eye (or on your eyelid/brow bone which happens to me sometimes with other mascaras) is minimal! It's fairly quick drying too.
The reviewer below me mentioned it isn't volumising, and I have to agree. But it lengthens and separates like you wouldn't believe! It also doesn't clump, which is a bonus.
I apply roughly two coats, and it just seems to enhance my lashes, they still look natural, and not like I've put a ton of mascara on them. I'd like to thank the brush/formula/whatever it is(!) separating the lashes for this.

Works well for lower lashes but is not a volumne mascara. I would not recommend it for anything but lower lashes.

This is the second mascara I ever bought! It was a clear upgrade from my Revlon mascara, which was goopy and disgusting, so I really liked this. In fact, I had gotten "two for the price of one" at walgreens!

It separates lashes nicely and is best for a natural look. However, I definitely won't repurchase. After trying Covergirl's Lash Blast, I feel this mascara is too toned down.

This mascara is great if you have short sparse lashes because it will "discover" them. I like it for lower lashes because it finds them, doesn't make them TOO long and doesn't smudge.

As many have already stated, this is great for the lower lash line on probably most. If you have fine lashes, that are average or longer, and a lot of them, this WILL work for you. But if you have thick lashes, or are looking for volume, put the mascara down and step away slowly. This is going to do NOTHING for you. My lashes are the former and I LOVE it. I use this or CG Lash Exact exclusively now, whatever is nearest. HG status.

This mascara separates, gives great definition and some good length. Nothing crazy, it just finishes my every day makeup. When I want a bit more drama, I double up on CG Lash Exact and use this on lower lashes (along with fabulous shadow and liner of course). Highly recommend on the right lashes.

I love the small brush - that got it the one rating. I purchased this product twice (the second time was obviously by accident.) Tried it both times (just in case) and threw it away both times.

Great for lower lashes! Small brush lets you get every nook and cranny. No clumping! My only complaint is I wish they made it in brown.

This is THE best mascara for lower lashes! The small, thin wand and mascara formula makes it perfect, and the price point is right on. I gave this a 4 because it does nothing for my upper lashes. I wipe the wand off then brush it on in a sidesweeping motion,towards my outer lashes, slightly wiggling as I go. It gives me a slighty smokey liner look. It never flakes or smudges on me.
Try this mascara in the technique Ive discribed and youll be happy you did!

As stated by a few. Very small brush is great for 'discovering' those small, short lashes that get forgotten with a regular brush. My lower lashes (as well as the inner corners on the top) are really short and when I try to use mascara on them, I get a huge glob (top) or smudge (bottom). The brush on this allows me to get to them w/o touching the surrounding skin.
As far as the formula. Normal. Doesnt flake. Doesn't come off easily w/ just water but comes off fine w/makeup remover.
Would buy again for the brush alone.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you THE best mascara for your lower lashes. I do not use this for my upper lashes-- they are full enough that the tiny brush would do nothing. Well, no, that's a lie. When I am doing a suuuuper natural look, this is great. Most of the time though, I am looking for huge, amazing, black lashes that give me doe eyes. Anyway, lower lashes. Yes. The tiny brush is perfect for getting every last short, fine, sparse lower lash to round out my intense, curled upper lashes. The fact that it doesn't really add volume is a good thing-- I just want my lower lashes visible, not false-looking. This is a cheap, great addition to your makeup bag. After all, your eyelashes are one of the most important aspects of your look! I spend the most time on them. It was a huge improvement when I added this to my routine. If you purchase this, make sure you are getting it for the right reason.

One of the worst mascaras on the market. Adds absolutely nothing to the look of the lash. The brush is too small to hold any product therefore, no product gets on the lashes. Poor, Poor quality. A brush this small has to have a small bit of mascara on it. A small bit of mascara aint gonna do me a bit of good. Enough said.

This is the perfect mascara for bottom lashes and because it's so small it's perfect for getting those hard to reach areas. I like combining this with the Full and Soft Mascara.

My HG mascara, 2nd would be Loreal's Lash Out but L'oreal mascaras tend to flake more IMO. This brush is amazing, it grabs all the lashes and it's perfect for the bottom lashes. Makes it looks really natural, even when I do top and bottom. And I don't have to worry about clumping! Overall, I love this because you still can get that fake lash look if thats what you want without the clumps.

I recommended this to a friend and she loves it too. I pick this over Covergirl Lash Blast, Loreal Voluminous and Lash Out, Rimmel, and Lancome's mascaras.

This is my new HG. I have used all the high ends (Dior, Lancome, etc) and even though I do beleive certain items that are more expensive are better quality, mascara really isn't one of them considering it expires and goes bad pretty fast and basically lasts a few months, which doesn't justify the $20 and up price of department counters. LAsh Discovery is even better than my prior Mayballene favorite (the pink and green tiny bottle, can't remember the name at the moment lol). I love them both because they have small (perfect size) brushes that get to every lash and don't smudge your eye makeup, plus never clump and really add on rich color unlike all those fat tube big brush mascaras people rave about. The fatter the tube the fater air gets in when you pump the wand and it clumps and spoils within weeks. Lash Discovery's brush lengthens my already pretty long lashses even more and the small wand layers the color so amazingly. This is about the only lengthening macara I have ever tried that doesn't tint you lashes with a barely there color but lengthens and volumizes effortlessly. Try it!

It's not a super great mascara that made a whole lot of difference to my lashes. It's pretty ordinary but I gave it a low rating because it smudges all over my lid even with primer on. I don't like the racoon eyes look. I will stick with my volume exact by cover girl.

As my lashes thinned with age I gave up on mascara because it was always just a mess. Smears everywhere! Then I found MUA and decided to give this a try. TINY brush allows me to get all my lashes without too much product causing clumps and smears under my lower lashes. I also started Bimaproste (Latisse) and with my Ardell conditioner my lashes had actually grown quite a bit longer but with light tips & no curl, who could tell? Lash Discovery fixed that and now I can actually see long eyelashes all day and into the night! I find it no problem to remove with Almay non-oily eye makeup remover. This could be my HG
