    This mascara is amazing. I can't recommend it enough. I shop at Shopper's Drug Mart so I tend to have to pay more for it (it's been a while so I can't remember exactly the price point, $11.99 maybe). It's absolutely worth the price though, in my opinion. On numerous occasions I have been asked if I'm wearing false lashes. i've never used fake eyelashes ever before in my life, and I only started using an eyelash curler about a month ago - and I was asked about my eyelashes way before then. It fans your eyelashes out quite nicely after a few coats, however it can be a bit difficult to get the corners without making a mess unless you tilt the brush a certain way, but it still turns out great for me.

    I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this mascara. I wasn't too impressed with the Maybelline Falsies mascara so I had little expectation for this one. Surprisingly, it worked very well for my lashes. I was not gifted with the longest nor fullest set of lashes so I'm always hunting for a mascara that promises length and volume. This mascara delivered.

    It comes with a typical fibre wand but what sets it from the Falsies is the density - it has a greater number of bristles. While it's not curved, the diameter of the wand is larger and it comes to a tapered point. The shape and density of the wand really helps in building volume but also lengthens at the same time. The tapered end is great for getting at the shorter inner lashes, as well as the bottom lashes.

    The formula started out runny which I didn't mind because that allowed me to really coat every lash and be able to apply multiple coats without clumping. However, the more you use it and the thicker the formula becomes, the better this mascara performs. It creates volume without clumps.

    Every mascara I purchase is in the waterproof formula and this one delivered on its promise of being water-resistant and smudge-proof. I wore this mascara out for 10 hours and I did not see any smudging or flaking. Even though it was water-proof, it was very easy to remove so there was no need for excessive tugging at your eyes.

    VERDICT: Thumbs up on this mascara. Definite buy.

    BLEH. Worst. Mascara. Ever. It claims to be waterproof and flaked and smudged all over my face. I'm sad to say that this is a product I regret buying.

    This is definitely my favourite mascara. At first I got a little bit scared of the big brush, since I am most likely to get the product all over my eye area, but I was very surprised of the easy application. It gets ten out of ten stars for water resistance. It doesn't smudge or clump and it does get u a LOT of volume :)
    Though it is quite expensive, but I think you should totaly try it out, because it is worth every penny!

    I JUST LOVE IT!!

    I love this mascara and have to say its one of my favorites! I've never noticed any clumping and it does what it says (volumizing and thick lashes). I also love that it helps seperate my lashes, it does not dry out as fast as other mascaras which makes it easy to build up thicker looking lashes. Highly recommended! I prefer not waterproof since its easier to remove.

    I bought this mascara because i was going to a summer camp and i knew i would be going swimming a lot but i wanted to wear mascara but not have it run down my face whenever i went in the pool. This mascara was great at that! it stayed on all day through swimming and sweat. it does a great job at defining and lengthening my lashes. I would recommend this to anyone!

    I've tried many different mascaras, both waterproof and regular, but this is by far my favourite. It gives excellent length AND volume. The brush is great because it is able to pick up all of the small hairs too.

    I get compliments on my lashes all the time from strangers who would never guess that, without mascara, I really have very short, thin lashes. In the summer I like to use waterproof mascara because I never know when I'll be heading to the beach or pool, but this mascara is just as great in the regular non-waterproof formula! I would definitely recommend this mascara to everyone!

    First of all, I'm not sure if I grabbed the wrong tube but I don't find this mascara to be particularly waterproof. I mean it doesn't run down my face like Niagara Falls when water hits it, but I wouldn't say it's as waterproof as some other mascaras I've tried. In any case, this doesn't bother me too much.

    I find that it does a great job of volumizing and curling my lashes, and fortunately, is hardly ever clumpy.

    I will point out that the smell is atrocious - though, what mascara smells like a field of flowers? Actually, maybe Jessica Simpson's makeup line has something....

    Overall, pretty decent mascara.
