I keep returning to this mascara b/c it just *works* for my short, stubby asian lashes. For a slightly more natural finish, i separate it a little with the FullnSoft. Voluminous, Clinique, Almay, GrowLuscious, Falsies and who know how many other mascaras i've tried just don't make my lashes look as good as this one =)

Love, love, love this mascara.

I've tried many mascaras over the years and find this a very good, lash-lengthening product.

You can also build it up and apply several layers unlike some mascaras that dry too quickly on the lashes.

Its cheap, it lengthens lashes beautifully, and its darkness/intensity (i like it reallly black) lasts all day.

The only down side is, the product does dry out in the bottle quickly and I have to purchase replacements quite often. However, most mascaras do tend to dry out in this fashion.

Well this is the first mascara i have ever bought, i have many short straight eyelashes which literally are so straight that they slope downwards. i got this mascara in normal- hydrofuge (ie not waterproof) and i curled my eyelashes and applied about one to two coats of this mascara and it made my eyelashes droop down even more! i was really disappointed, but this packaging is superduper cute with the metallic green. on the plus side this gives good length and has zero clumps! the wand is really nice to use but as this cannot hold a curl i wont be repurchasing. also it kind of makes your lashes stick together in bunches and doesnt sparate very nicely! a friend recommended it to me because of the no clumping factor but her lashes are naturally long and curly so thats the type of lashes this mascara is probably aimed for.

I think it gives a little length not at all what I had expected. Although I do like that it gives no clumps at all but other than that I never use it also Its not compadable with other mascaras : (

I really love this mascara! It definately gives length! It doesnt make my lashes clump up or look bad or anything! Too bad it doesnt give you volume with the length. I really love this mascara, I have the regular and waterproof and I love them both, waterproof is amazing for jumping into a lake with and stilll easy to get off. This mascara is worth it!

It provides a lot of length after a few coats. Buy this if you want natural looking lashes. This doesn't provide any volume, so it might help to use it with a volumizing mascara after. This is a okay mascara, but not my favorite.

I really like this product. It gave me length without too much clumping, didn't smear, held a curl, and was overall a good performer. The only thing I don't love about this product (and this is a pretty silly point) is the packaging. I have a thing for the space-age, cool looking tubes, and this is a bit plain for my taste. It's even a fluke I picked it up, as I am a sucker for marketing and advertising and this one didn't have much of either.

This gives an okay length for my lashes, but it takes several coats to achieve the look I'm after. It's a bit hard to layer without getting clumps and it doesn't hold a curl too well. Smudges a bit throughout the day and would be best if your going for a "natural" look.

This mascara worked nice on my lashes, I think the watery formula helps defining them that much more. It is quite buildable but unfortunately some ingredients in it irritate my eyes - and I would really like to find out which they were as it was the first and only mascara to irritate me. If not this, I would probably be repurchasing.

terrible mascara wand is too bendy formula is too watery and sticky and doesnt dry. I have long lashes which touch my browbone so a dry mascara is a must have for me so that I dont end up with transfer marks.

separate lashes VERY well.
does not clump.
dries softly and not hard and nasty.
a 4 because it uncurls my lashes. if you have naturally curly lashes, this is great.

This is my absolute favourite mascara, I've been using it for a few years now after trying practically hundreds of others. It never smudges or gives me a shadow like most others, and it defines & lengthens beautifully. I find that it's buildable and a few coats can give a full look without the hideous clumping effect of so many volumising mascaras and without a big clumbersome brush - this one is so nice and slim without being fiddly, perfect for reaching every single lash. To top it all of it's nice and cheap and readily available (and I'm guilty of being a bit of a drugstore snob too). I wouldn't be without it <3

i like this product, the brush is very flexable and i think thats the best thing about it. if its hard for you to reach your baby lashes i recommend this. the packaging is cute and i think it is good for a natural mascara look. it also does not clump so that is a plus.

This stuff is great. I'm not a big mascara wearer...so I HATE that thick, clumpy, spidery look that many people seem to go for. My eyelashes are also pretty long and thick, so I really just want something that defines and separates, which this product does a lot better than many of the other brands I've tried. The brush seems to be really good quality too. As someone who is a bit of a beauty snob, I'm won over with this cheapie (thanks mum!)

Errr,,, in my opinion, this mascara dries faster in the tube. And also don't really good in my lashes. The waterproof is great, but nothing special like the other Maybelline mascaras...
The point plus is just i like the green bottle. Hhehehee

This is the best drugstore mascara so far that I have used! I have not used many drugstore mascaras btw.. only like 3 or 4. (I know fail haha). I don't know what it is about this mascara, but it just is perfect for defining the natural lashes you already have yet making them look natural at the same time! Doesn't make your eyelashes clumpy, and doesn't irritate your eyes. The packaging is a pretty vibrant green, which I like. :) The only two reasons I didn't give it 5 stars were because if you are having oily skin, or if it's been a long night with it on, you can see a bit of smudging under your eyes. Isn't that a problem with most mascaras, though? And also because it is sort of hard to remove at night. But other than that, great mascara!
UPDATE: Okay. I have had a slight change of heart toward this mascara. It now makes my eyelashes fall out, and is irritating my eyes, which is a surprise since it didn't before. My new favourite mascara is Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Will be giving a review on it right away.

This mascara did exactly what it promised. It defines your lashes really well and also lengthens and darkens them, but if you're expecting volume or for it to hold your curl do not buy this mascara.

To me this one makes your lashes longer than the waterproof one. It stays on pretty good yet wipes off easily. The reason I like it is because it looks natural. Doesn't clump on me.

I have very VERY watery eyes! I've tried many waterproof mascara such as makeup forever, maybelline falsies, and etc. They all smudged after a long day. But this mascara did not smear and stayed on all day long! i recommend this for ppl who have very watery eyes. If you want more volume or length, i top it off with maybelline colossal in waterproof
