    It works, but there is better

    I received this product from a gift pack, so I didn't personally buy it. I feel like I would never spend the money to buy it again. It works well enough and adds volume, however it is very sticky and flakey, and I feel like you can get the same results from much cheaper mascaras.

    Not as effective as I had hoped :(

    I was so excited to try this mascara because a lot of people rave about it, but I feel it fell short of expectations! It did give volume but not enough for what it claims. Also the formula flaked badly after a short period of wear. Overall I feel like it is average and nothing exceptional and was very disappointed because benefit does have other great quality products in their line.

    Quite frankly get better with Maybelline

    I bought this mascara on the promise of "I can't believe they're real" -but in reality, on my straight Asian shirt stumpy lashes, it didn't really do the trick. On top of it, smudgey.
    I'm going to keep looking at the lower cost brands, as I did pay over $20 and it's not worth it.

    Overrated

    The wand on this mascara is just too big and unwieldy for me, it makes it very difficult for me to get my innermost lashes and lower lashes without poking myself in the eye (which is extremely painful with the stiff rubber bristles and ball at the end of this wand). The formula is alright, it takes a lot of patience and building to get the length and separation that I like which is a bit of a hassle some mornings when I'm rushing to get ready. Overall not worth it, there's plenty of better options out there. I have no idea why this mascara gets all the love that it does.

    I was expecting a lot from this mascara and sadly it did not live up to my expectations. I found that it didn't add much length or volume to my lashes and it had a lot of fall out.

    the reason I scored it low was because while I liked the product, worked great. It dried out fast and therefore I didn't find it worth the money as a result. When I first bought it, I had great lashes...it just dried out fast.

    To be completely honest, I don't understand all the hype about this product! Everything about it is very mediocre. My lashes look okay, but personally, I prefer many Maybelline mascaras over this one. It adds volume to the lashes, but for me, almost a bit too much. This mascara is also quite pricey! I honestly don't consider Benefit to be too-too high end, but their mascaras are around the same price as Dior and Marc Jacobs, and they aren't nearly as good.

    It was okay for me, though wen i used it I definitely had to apply more than a couple coats to get to finally get more full looking lashes. I had really high expectations due to all the fan raving but after using it I realized that it was like your average drugstore mascara. even though it didn't live up to my expectation it's still a pretty good mascara.

    Ce mascara, tout le monde semble l'adorer.... Mais je l'ai détesté! Autant j'adore le Roller Lash( de Beneft aussi), autant je déteste celui-ci! Il a tendance à faire beaucoup de grumeaux et de paquets sur mes cils et les picots de plastiques de la brosse sont très raides et agressants pour mes yeux. À chaque fois que j'en applique, j'accroche ma paupière suppérieure (ce qui n'est habituellement pas problématique avec les autres mascaras que j'utilise) et ça me blesse la muqueuse suppérieure, donc mes yeux se mettent à pleurer... Bref, ce n'est vraiment pas un mascara pour moi!

    I got the sample from sephora and it was not the best mascara. Clumpy on my eye lashes and it made my lashes feel heavy. I have somewhat sensitive eyes and it made them water and burn. Not something I would use again and glad I didn’t pay for it.
