    I loved this product, still using it today. The formula is very easy to apply and truly makes your lashes have a falsies effect. The wand evenly spreads your lashes without clumping, its not water proof which means its not a pain to remove. The formula holds the lashes in place for the whole day

    Not as good as I was expecting. The brush design is flawed... the ball of spikes at the end is supposed to be used for the entire corners or detail work but when the brush is removed from the tube, there is a glob of mascara that sits at the end. The bristles are very sharp and I poked my eye a couple of times during the learning curve :(

    But my biggest issue is not the brush, but the formula. While it does separate my lashes well, it does not give enough volume and transfers onto my (oily) upper eyelids halfway through the day. When removing at night, you have to use an oil-based cleanser like you would for waterproof mascaras because this one is almost impossible to remove without it!

    Not worth the almost $30 you pay for it at Shoppers or Sephora. Move along...

    This used to be my go to mascara. I love how full it made my lashes look. I found that the bottle dried out really fast and wasn't worth what it cost.

    The mascara lasts all day and it is a very good forumula, I personally dont think its worth the price and there are drugstore mascaras that you can by for the same effect.

    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

    I received this as a sample. I heard wonderful things about it. The price tag is insane... for a mascara, it would need to be on sale for me to pay for much!
    However. It makes my lashes look stunning. Long and vibrant!
    The one thing I really like about this mascara is its not horrible to remove. Meaning, my eye makeup remover actually gets it off in one shot and I dont have to soak it multiple times and still have chunks of it left over.

    t took me a little while to bite the bullet and buy this mascara. At $30 CAD, it's pretty steep. But I finally did and it is WORTH IT. First of all, this mascara is so intensely black it's crazy - so if you're a brown mascara fan, this probably isn't for you. HOWEVER, the brush alone has been worth it. It's great at combing through your lashes, and the end spiky bit is amazing at getting your lower & corner lashes, which can really give you that false lash look. The formula of this mascara is a bit on the dry side, which makes a little hard to remove - I definitely recommend an oil-based remover. But I haven't had any problems with it flaking at all, and I find the dry, thickness of it makes it easy to build multiple coats on. Overall, this mascara has single-handedly replaced all my mascara because of that fact. When I wear this for day time make up, I've been asked if I have eyelash extensions. But I've layered it for a more dramatic look, too. For that reason, the price is juuuuuust worth it. I do have to say that for a BeneFit product, the packaging is pretty plain - but that hardly matters. Because no, it's not a drugstore priced item - but it certainly gives a high-end result. Besides, if you're someone who wears false lashes regularily, then arguably, this is probably a cheaper alternative.

    I don't love this mascara, maybe I'm the only one. It's a good mascara, but it's not what my lashes need....I can find something better at the drugstore
