I consider waterproof mascara a one and done cosmetic. I only wear when I will cry. This mascara works for my purpose. It is waterproof, easy to remove and wallet friendly. Mascara is rotated out and tossed away every month or when I open a new pair of contact lens. Waterproof mascara is tossed away with in two days of opening. Eye infections are easy to prevent.

Short review PROs -cheap price -good lengthening effect - it gives lashes natural look(lengthens and seprates lashes) -no flaking -no smearing after it dried down -thin,plastic brush which made easy access to tiny inner corner lashes -being easy to remove CONs: -very wet formula - it straightens and droops lashes and isn't able to hold curl - no volumizing - it takes at least ten minutes for it to dry down and before drying it smears badly if you blink or sneeze -it's plastic bristles are sharp and can hurt eyes -it's made of cheap materials,it's wand can easily break I bought it without knowing that it's the waterproof version.I never used waterproof mascara as I thought they're more harmful for lashes but because I have straight,almost downward lashes and I read in multiple reviews that waterproof mascaras are the best in holding curls I decided to try waterproof ones from now on so I was happy to find out my Mega Length mascara is waterproof But unfortunately it wasn't able to hold curl.it drooped and straightened my lashes immediately and this is a huge deal breaker for me.even using it with another mascara couldn't fix this I can't comment on that if it was really waterproof or not.I used it 5 times and wasn't in an occasion to test that but it was easily removed by a normal micellar water another con was that it was very very wet and I had to wait for a long time for it to dry.blinking too much or sneezing in first ten minutes was equal to smearing mascara all around my eyes.when I saw that I can't use it on my upper lashes(because I can't live without curled lashes),I decided to use it on my lower lashes.it seemed to be a good idea as it's slim brush made it easy to use on lower lashes and I like my lower lashes to look seprated and long,not thick or clumpy.but the problem was that it was almost impossible to use it on my lower lashes without dotting my lash line as it was veryyy wet and took a long time to dry.still I almost liked it as my lower lash mascara but it's wand broke while I was gently wiping it's wand with a tissue! I won't repurchase but it can be good for you if you have naturally curled lashes or don't care about having curled lashes and like a natural look

I wanted to like this. It made my lashes long without also making them thick (I have hooded eyes so heavy volumizing mascaras are not the best look on me), it's cruelty-free, it's cheap. But it is a really "wet" mascara and takes forever to dry. If you sneeze after you've just applied it, or blink, you will have a ring of mascara dotted around your eyes. And weirdly enough, even though it takes forever to dry on your lashes, it seems to instantly dry on skin and is a pain to get off.

Ew. I hate this mascara. I have short lashes & bought this on a whim b/c it was cheap & claimed to be lengthening & waterproof. It is neither. It doesn't really lengthen - however - this may be due to the fact that the formula is SO wet & gross (may have just dragged my lashes down - might work for people with naturally long, thick lashes?). I have to buy waterproof mascara b/c I have allergies & really sensitive eyes (like ridiculous, a small breeze from a fan makes them tear up...so annoying), & usually they give me the results I'm looking for (volume, length, curl). This mascara goes on wet & stays wet - especially if it's hot out. I put it on the other day when I was running late for an appointment & just grabbed it b/c I couldn't find my regular mascara. Yikes. I sneezed after 3 minutes of applying it & it was all over my under eye area. No joke, I had to sit in the car and blink onto my finger for about 5 minutes & it was STILL TACKY. It finally stopped transferring after a while....a very long while....but it never really dried. At least it was easy to remove.... Just don't. It's cheap, but save the $2 or $3.

Same spiky wand as the non-waterproof version which works especially well for lower lashes and smaller eyes. The formula runs more on the wet side and while it is waterproof, which I don’t normally like, I bought it in the absence of having a decent tubing mascara for my watery eyes (seasonal allergies). I did not experience any flaking or smudging so I would say it meets my expectations from that perspective. I found this was easily removed with my Nivea Micellar Water. I had always heard that the key to keeping lashes curled is to coat them with waterproof mascara but I’m not convinced this is true. Maybe my lashes just have a hard time holding a curl. I’ll continue to buy this mascara - it’s cheap and cheerful, and cruelty-free besides!

This mascara doesn’t do anything special to my lashes, minimal length and volume. Would not recommend unless you are after the natural look. (Which you probably wouldn’t need mascara anyways.)

I wasn’t expecting much from this product, but it turned out to be a decent “find.” <br> It’s cruelty-free, dirt cheap, and readily available, in addition to its quite respectable performance. <br> To summarize its other characteristics: <br> Pros: : <br> - tiny narrow brush; if you wiggle it into your lashes’ roots, you can achieve a “tightlined” look <br> - deep black color <br> - good lengthening and defining properties <br> - holds a curl nicely <br> - waterproof, stays on well; I have very oily skin, and this wears for around six hours, with only slight smudging or flaking <br> <br> Cons: <br> - rather thin formula that can smear if you’re not careful <br> - doesn’t really thicken or add volume <br> - can clump if you apply too generously <br> - offered in black only

Product....This is my go to mascara for natural defined lashes. I bend the wand at an angle for easy goof-proof application. Along with actually being waterproof, adds length and definition to my lashes. With a second coat thickens a tad. Perfect for work or when rocking a natural/daytime look. Long slender tube easily fits in my makeup planner. $2 bucks from Walgreens. Exactly what I needed. Of all my mascara, reach for this one over and over. Ladies, and gents, don't sleep on this one.

I use this as a lower lash mascara. For upper lashes, it does nothing. I like the wand for applying it to my lower lashes. It seperates them and keeps them from getting clumpy. The wand doesn't apply a lot of product. I'll even apply a swipe of this on my upper lashes on top of a non waterproof mascara. I was having trouble with my mascara transfering and leaving dots under my eyes and along my brow bone. This has helped remedy that issue. My one complaint is that the formula is quite wet. If you get this on your skin, LET IT DRY before scraping with qtip. Otherwise, it will smear and create a mess. Edit: I just wanted to add that once this got drier i could get a nice natural look on on my upper lashes, but it took 3 coats. I would only do that on natural days and may even buy a brown one for that purpose because it's so cheap. This mascara is definitely a staple.
