    This mascara worked very well for me , the only thing was I felt like I had to spend a lot of time removing it. More time then it was actually worth. I would have to scrub at my eyes with makeup remover and began to feel like if I continued to use this I was going to lose my eyelashes.

    All my friends adore this product, so I figured I'd give it a try. Honestly, I'm not impressed - but I had high standards going in. I like it, it's a good mascara.. I just don't think it's worth the price. I don't notice a huge difference between benefit they're real and the typical drugstore mascara.

    I really had big hopes for this mascara. Although my lashes did look pretty good I was not impressed how much this product clumped up on the second coat. And I apply thin coats. I have received better results from average drugstore mascaras. This one is just not worth the hype for me.

    After hearing SO much about this mascara, I was excited to try it. People were constantly recommending it all the reviews were pretty good. I got a few samples of this in various beauty boxes and I honestly wasn't overly impressed. It's a DECENT mascara, I don't dislike it or anything, but the claims that say this mascara makes your lashes look like they are falsies is a bit over the top. I like the brush, and it seems like it lengthens nicely, but I find it does absolutely nothing for volume, which is an important thing for me. I'll definitely use what I've got left, but I would never pay $20 for this stuff.

    Perhaps because I received this in a box and got a sample size, I wasn't able to get the 'benefits' of a full sized wand, but in the end I found the plastic brush hard to use as it was difficult to not get too much product on the wand. It also failed my washes off with face wash test. It took my face wash, eye make up remover, some oil and it was still coming off on the towel

    I do not like mascaras with hard plastic brushes. I find this one difficult to use and the brush has an added cluster of pointy bristles on the end which get in the way. The formula itself is okay but cannot be used properly with the horrible brush.

    I chose 'You Betcha!' but I'm really more 'Meh?!' about this mascara. It's a fine mascara- it lengthens and volumizes to a degree, but it just doesn't wow me. While there is nothing bad about it, it's the fact that it's so over hyped for what it is. There are so many other mascaras I truly love, so I just can't justify reaching for this one or purchasing it again.

    This expensive mascara just didn't do it for my wimpy lashes. It did an okay job of separating lashes, but didn't increase length or thickness. I much prefer my drugstore brand of L'oreal Voluminous mascara!

    It's not the worst mascara out there but I definitely didn't see what the big fuss was about. I felt like I had to apply coat after coat just to achieve a fuller look. I typically like big voluminous lashes and this mascara just didn't cut it for me. Too bad!

    I wasn't impressed with this at all, but I did want to be. Definitely not worth the money, there are many drug store brands that do a much better job on the lashes
