Love it and in love with it
a year ago
Over the last few years I have switched my makeup brand to Maybelline and have fell more in love with your products and brand than any previous ones I've used.
That said, I have found this particular line of your mascara to be one of my most beloved. I love the drama affect it does for my eyes. I pair it with your tattoo studio gel eye pencil eyeliner and OMG! Love it. I only wear eye makeup and this one has won my #1 spot for mascara. It took me 2 days of wear and it stole the lead by the end of day one. Lasts all day and comes off easy with makeup remover towels at the end of my day many hours later.
Thanks Maybelline for making a mascara that lasts as long as my day does. 16+ hours most of the time.
Yes, I recommend this product.

No Colossal or Pumped up
2 years ago
I use Maybelline mascara all the time. This mascara is by far the worse one I've tried. I have stayed with the same one for some time, but thought I would change it up. Wrong move on my part. It does not stay on, smudges and certaily is not colossal and does not pump up.
No, I do not recommend this product.

My favorite!
3 years ago
The applicator makes it super easy to apply. Love the way it makes my lashes look full and long. Doesn't smudge. Lasts all day and into the next- if you don't wash it off. This has been my go-to for years, even after trying multiple others- the cheaper or more expensive kind. The price is great too! Sometimes I can't find them in the store and have to keep rechecking. :(
I Find This Product:Smudge Proof, Easy To Use, Fast Drying, Long Lasting

So clumpy

This formula clumps extremely easily, and somehow manages to flatten out the brush while doing it. Even though I could see and feel the clumps on my face, it barely did anything to my lashes.

Amazing mascara!
8 years ago
I bought this a few months ago and it's been so great! I have dry eyes which tear up a lot in the winter and dry days, and this mascara doesn't budge at all, definitely waterproof (I've even worn it in pools several times.)
I have pretty long lashes but they're really straight, and this always gives me lots of volume and curl. The brush is large, but I feel like that helps with the volume and is easy to apply.
Love love love!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Not good at all

I purchased this mascara because I love Maybelline products and I was very excited to try it out. However, I used it once and it clumped. I thought that maybe it was because it was new so I gave it another try... again, I was disappointed. It left clumps everywhere and made my eyelashes look awful.

Terrible Mascara
10 years ago
Worst mascara ever. When I pulled out the wand, it was caked with gluey looking mascara. When I put it on, it looked like I wasn't wearing mascara at all except for these weird clumps on a few lashes. The mascara seemed stuck to the wand. Gross.

I bought this because they were out of my holy grail mascara, one by one. The brush is WAY too huge, as big as my eye. The 'double shot' puts way too much product on the bush. Alot goes to waste because you're wiping it on the lip of the container.
