    J'avais hâte de tester ce fameux mascara dont tout le monde parle, et finalement, l'application est assez facile mais le rendu n'est pas le meilleur du marché. Il fait de beaux cils mais j'ai déjà trouvé mieux en termes de volume et de noirceur. De plus, son prix est assez exorbitant. Laissez vous tenter par un mascara moins cher, celui ci ne vaut pas son prix !

    I tried this mascara after all the hype surrounding it, and it was disappointing. I feel terrible saying this, but this is the worst mascara I've ever tried. It did nothing for my lashes. In fact, my lashes looked way better before applying this mascara. It made my lashes look limp and there was absolutely no volume. Unfortunately, it's just not for me.

    I personally don't love this mascara. I have used a couple sample sizes of this and I prefer other high end mascaras such as Benefit's RollerLash and Tarte's Light, Camera, Lashes. I just wasn't very impressed with the lengthening and volume this masrcara is supposed to offer. I found that it really didn't dry on my lashes and it takes forever to get it off the eyes. This isn't worth the price point in my opinion.

    Mmmm... I wasn't too impressed with this mascara! I've tried drugstore mascara that has worked better than this! The brush does not have soft bristles, so if you get it too close to your lash line it will hurt! I think there are better drugstore mascaras than this one!

    I wasn't overly impressed with this mascara. I found that more than one coat made my lashes feel crusty and look spidery. I also found that it flaked off easily, and doesn't last as long as other mascaras that I've tried.

    I just recently tried this mascara and it's okay. It does give my eyelashes a bit more added volume but I find that I can't build too much on it as it starts to look hard and spidery.

    I have a love/hate relationship with this mascara. I love the length it adds to my lashes and I don't have to apply too many coats. I get TONS of compliments on my lashes when I use it.

    But...it is SO HARD to wash off. I have very sensitive eyes and I feel like I have to scrub to get this mascara off, which leaves me with red sore eyes. Super disappointing.

    Not a fan of this product. I am a fan of benefit and their products, however this mascara does not give you the length that you want. It might work for some people but unfortunately not for me.

    After having used two travel sizes of this mascara, I have to say, I don't get what all the hype was about.

    This mascara has an interesting wand, to say the least. It starts off as a regular wand, and then bubbles out at the tip. The bubble tip is recommended to be used vertically, to separate and define lashes. That never really worked out for me. It was just awkward, and more often than not it stuck my lashes together. It felt more like a gimmick than anything else.

    When using the regular part of the wand to apply the mascara as I normally would, I found that bits of product would cling to the tips of lashes and I'd have to pick it off after the product had dried. For such an expensive, high end mascara, this should not be happening.

    After all was said and done and I'd worn the mascara for a full day, it had either flaked or smudged all around my under eye area. Again, for the price, this shouldn't be happening.

    There are so many good mascaras out there that are more affordable. I don't see the point in this one. It's average, at best.
