This lash primer is pretty good, but unfortunately it isn't anything special. I get better results with Lancome Cils Booster.
The creamy texture of this product (which I really like) reminds me of Clinique's Lash Building Primer. Decent application, intensifies my mascara and makes it last without smudging. But it's a little thick, heavy even, doesn't make my lashes look as "pretty" as I would like.
A perfectly fine product but I wouldn't buy it again because for the price, there are better lash primers out there.

This product does what it says it will do. That is the best review I can give it, I have nice long thick-ish lashes anyway and when I use this it give crazy amounts of length lol, and good volume too. It goes on smoothly and dose not clump. I have not noticed any smell as someone was complaining about. I like this primer a lot it does what it says it will do, and who can ask for more than that really? One con though: This product will sometimes sting my eyes if it gets in them, like really really bad, but it i am careful with it i don't have any problems.

I do not see how this lash primer is any better than other primers. It does add a bit of volume and length but all very mediocre results. I think a good reason to deduct lippies is the formulation, it is very moist ...so even if you curled your lash it would droop back down. Smells like magnolia ? I don't like the smell personally, but it doesn't bother me.

This is the Spanx of lash products - the "underwear" that makes mascara go on like a dream and STAY on. I no longer need to curl my lashes, either, when I use it. An absolute staple.

It is fantastic, worth to buy definitely! I accidentaly bought to apply before mascara, it is white, thick creamy texture, it is all natural ingredients and it gives volume and extra length for my lashes, so I need to apply a little bit of mascara and it is wow!

I got this awhile ago and the only reason i think it makes me think it does anything is because it adds a coat to my lashes then i apply regular mascara and it looks thicker. I get the same results if i were to apply more than one coat of mascara. It makes my straight lashes heavier so it can't hold a curl as well.

PROS: Product does what it says: it lengthens wonderfully and doesn't clump (granted you don't pile it on).

CONS: It made my eyes itch big time, and worst of all, after using it regularly for a couple weeks, I noticed some of my lashes were falling out. I have short, skinny lashes and I can't afford to lose any!

I'll be going back to my Diorshow Blackout or Chanel Inimitable for special occasions, and Perscriptives False Lash or Stila Major Lash for every day use.

Wow. I am surprised by the hot and cold reviews of this. I bought this before in a set with the origins mascara and I absolutely loved it. It was especially good for sensitive eyes. Usually if I get anything in my eyes it burns and turns very red. Not the case with this. A little with the mascara when I wear on its own but the base it great with any mascara. The wand is great for all over coating and hard to reach areas and a tube lasts a very very long time. Well worth the price kind a of a mid priced product compared to all the other primers out there and will definately buy again. Yes I do have long lashes already but these make them look unbelivably awesome!

Fabulous. Just fabulous. The best lash conditioning, lengthening, plumping, enhancing mascara primer on the market. Origins has my heart t everytime they create something as simple but effective like this. They're geniuses! The Little Lash Builder is a thin green (for being eco friendly) tube with a long wand that deposits just the right amount of white coating on the lashes. The white color is good because if you have dark eyelashes you can see exactly where you're putting the primer esecially in the little hard-to-reach corners. Follow this with Diorshow in black, or if you prefer drugstore brand Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara and you literally will gasp at the sight of your lashes. I even find myself skipping liner because I dont want anything to complete with the lashes. Mascara stays put, never flakes or budges. So totally worth it! Thanks Origins.

I like this, it separtates and lengthens and my mascara goes on pretty smooth. I like the brush too. The reason I gave it a 3? I realized this makes my eyes itch. I was literally rubbing my eyes all day long. Will not repurchase.

This is the most effective, easy to use and productive mascara primer that creates a wonderful optical illusion of thick, lush lashes! It is no more expensive than any other mid to high end brand and I strongly urge you to give this a try. I don't believe you'll be disappointed and will remain faithful to this product.

I have very fine, short lashes. This is the first product I have found that allows mascara to stay on my lashes for more than an hour or so. I had given up on mascara until reading about this product here. I use Origins Fringe Benefits Mascara on top of the Underwear & everything stays on all day. Not sure if its the mascara or underwear that's the trick; I suspect its the Underwear! Love it...

I am hooked! This is an unnecessary luxury that makes sense. for about $20 you can build a coat of liquid fibers by applying 1-3 coats. Then run your mascara wand over the entire lash from side to side. All the white primer will be covered and your lashes will look amazing. If you need to separate lashes do it while their still a bit tacky and movable otherwise they will stick together. It is not a WONDER product and you'll have to apply mascara, separate lashes as you always do but the difference is that they will look fuller, longer and more glamorous. Around Xmas time they always have a special pre-wrapped deal where the primer comes free with your choice of mascara so you'll get two products for the price of one.

I bought this product after my boss suggested I try it. It made my lashes look sooo much longer. What a great product and fairly inexpensive. You can pick it up at your local Dillards. I was so pleased I even picked one up for my sister!

I liked this product. I have never used a lash primer before, but this came with my fringe benefits mascara so I thought I would give it a try. it dried almost clear so I had none of the problems with the white showing through my mascara that other reviewers using primers seem to have. did not clump at all...the brush is fantastic. No globs, clumps or flakes. nice. although I will probably not use a primer on a normal basis since I don't need one, if I did this would be a great choice. UPDATE: I have been using this for over a week now and decided I don't like it at all. it DOES kill your curl! also makes your lashes stick together so it looks like you have 6 thick ones instead of a nice fan, even when combed with a lash brush. you can't even tell before you put your mascara on because it is so light colored and makes your lashes light and hard to see too! so I get droopy, stuck together lashes. yuck. does dry pretty clear, but that is its only positive trait.

I like some of the other reviewers have oily eyelids and have always had a terrible problem with mascara smudging under my eyes by mid-day or for sure by 5 pm and have spent years battling raccoon eyes. This was the first product I tried that successfully kept my mascara in place all day and all evening. You do have to get the hang of applying it and must wait for it to dry before applying mascara. Also, it means you have an extra step, which is something I try to avoid, and because you have to buy it in addition to mascara, it is more than I would prefer to spend generally (with an Origins mascara it's $25). Since trying this, I have switched to Prescriptives Lash Envy (a little cheaper at $19) which I like as it makes my lashes look natural long and fringed and have found a technique for getting my mascara not to smudge is to use a little BE mineral veil applied with a small brush just under the lash line. I was always reluctant to use any powder under my eyes because it would settle into the fine lines but not the MV. Another mascara I tried that does not smudge is the Kiss Me tube mascara. Again, I really liked it but at $24 a tube it is pricey. The only reasons I would not purchase again is because of the extra step and because I get the same success for a little less money with the Prescriptives.

Maybe I got a bad batch? To me it was thick, clump and goopy. My lashes look millions of times better without it.
