I tried this mascara after not having my eyelash extensions refilled. I found this product very disappointing. It flaked onto my face throughout the day and fell into my eyes, making it itchy and red. I found that you cannot use too many layers as it clumps quite easily after about 2 layers. It looks like it makes the lashes thicker but not longer. I got the purple version but it's not very purple. It doesn't make any difference on, more like a black mascara with a hint of very dark indigo. It was very expensive ($20AUD) for a product that didn't do much.

The main problem I had with this mascara is that it would actually flake off in my eye. I would feel irritation during the day, and look in the mirror to find little black flakes in my eyes. Painful.

This was my first ever mascara hehe :P. I was probably about twelve.
...That should say something. This mascara does pretty much nothing. If you're looking for a 'natural' look, or if you're a pre-teen, check it out.

This mascara just doesn't do much at all. I got it in both blue and green. I liked the green b/c at the time when I got it no one else was really doing the colored mascara thing. It barely makes any difference on the lashes though besides the color.

I got this a biglots for a couple bucks and loved it. Its supposed to be blue black but it just looks blue. But I really like it. Looks great with my brown skin. I dont know about brightning my eyes, but I think what they meant was that it would make your eyes pop. Which it does do. Im sure biglots everywhere carrys it.

As an everyday mascara, this one works well for me. It went on smoothly w/o clumps and never smeared. The lengthening and volumizing was just right and I loved the darkening effect the mascara produced. For a $2 mascara, it is not bad at all.

I tried this product and was extremely disappointed with it. For Almay, this was their third strike with me and I will never buy another Almay product again. The mascara didn't do anything for me - no colour, no thickening, no lengthening. I am not sure why they thought this product should be on the market.

i guess i'm the odd ball of the group because i love this mascara! like a lot of other ladies i found it at big lots for very cheap. i'm always on the hunt for blue mascara because i have very pale skin and anything too black just looks obviously fake and trampy. anyway, i applied this mascara the way the directions specifically say to and it really lifted my lashes! i wouldn't say it made my eyes brighter...but it definitely makes my lashes more voluminous and long. it took a couple tries to get a hang of the unique wand, but once i did i LOVED it. i went back and bought two more tubes!!

I too, found this at a bargain at a discount store. I normally only buy the blackest shade I can find since my lashes are very blonde; but this store only carried the blue shade. I have heard that blue mascara can make your eyes brighter so I figured, what the hey. It seemed really dry when I first opened it, but when I put it on, it was ok. It doesn't thicken my lashes, but it does make them darker and separated. It does have a hint of blue tint, but looks mostly black. The brush was unusual, it was tapered on one side, I'm guessing to evenly coat. Though it's not my favorite, I use it a couple of times a week. I have found that it does flake off quite a bit and when I wash my face before bed, it does not easily remove. Ok mascara for $1.50.

I'LL GIVE ANYTHING A CHANCE ONCE. PLUS THIS WAS SUPER CHEAP AT BIG LOTS. IT DID NOT MAKE MY EYES LOOK ANY BRIGHTER. IT HAS A VERY NATURAL LOOK TO IT. NOT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. SO I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED TRYIN TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD. BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A NATURAL TYPE FROM A MASCARA THEN MAYBE GIVE THIS A SHOT. IT'S NOT FOR ME THO...

I bought this at Big Lots for $1.50 and for the price, I was satisfied. It didn't clump or smear on me but it definately isn't the mascara you want if you're going for a dramatic look. I bought it in Black Noir which is the darkest shade, and it seems to lengthen your lashes but not really add any color. I probably wouldn't repurchase this, especially not at full price, since there are way better mascaras out there.

UPDATE: Okay 2 days after I first opened this, it did start to clump. Had to throw it in the trash so it needs to get only 1 lippie now.

i found this at the store on sale for just $1.99 in waterproof. it thickened my lashes a bit but it clumped way too much! i had to keep using my eyelash comb to even out the clumps and it took too much of my time! if i find this mascara again for 2 bucks, id buy it as an emergency mascara.. but any higher and its a definate NO!

This mascara was pretty good for a drugstore mascara. It never flaked on me or clumped. I do prefer my Lancome definicils though. If you want a cheap, effective mascara, this is a good choice.

Are they serious? This is some crap! It's so dry and the color is so dull. It took work just to get a good coat on. How could this possibly brighten anyone's eyes? I had high hopes for this because I really adore my Almay eyeliners (pencil and liquid) as well as my One Coat mascara. I think the whole Bright Eyes line (inluding eyeshadows & liners) should be shipped out to all of the Dollar stores and discontinued. Seriously.
