    Another disappointment! I gave this mascara a shot hoping it would give me big beautiful lashes, but I ended up having clumped, flakey lashes! The masacara is fine with one coat - but unfortunately one coat isnt enough (to get the look they promise anyway). When you apply multiple coats, the lashes clump and stick together, leaving you with "spidery eyes". When you apply oh so carefully to avoid the spider-eyed look, I found that througout the day the mascara flaked leaving little black spots under my eyes.

    Also suprisingly this mascara had a very strong odor.... very "floral-y". Scents do not bother me but someone who is sensitive I wouldn't recommend that you try this mascara as it lingers for awhile.

    This mascara was really a disappointment. Overall, I like maybelline mascaras, but this one is definitely not a keeper. The wand was rather large, and it made my lashes clumpy and spidery. I also didn't like the fact that it didn't do well with multiple coats and it also flakes quite a bit. It just didn't give me the "colossal" lashes that is promises. But even more so than that, I'm not sure if it was the one that I got, but the scent was so strong and off-putting that it made my eyes water. The mascara itself also seemed to irritate my eyes and I had to stop wearing it. I tried a couple different times to see if it was just a coincidence, but it seemed to bother me each time. I know of some people that really like this mascara and are happy with it, but it is not a product that I can personally recommend and I wouldn't purchase it again.

    This mascara was great for about 2 weeks. It does build amazing volume. However after 2 weeks, i noticed major flaking and I would have lots of black specks under my eyes and on my cheeks. I even tried another tube thinking maybe it was a fluke. But no, the exact same flaking again happened after 2 weeks. Overall, not impressed.

    Oh Maybelline, how you continue to disappoint.

    The only thing I like about this mascara is that it smells like flowers, but even that can't cover up the fact that it's average at best.

    I find the mascara too dry, which leads to flaking. Doesn't thicken much, but if you're lucky enough to have that already, the separation is all right.

    Yawn.

    I did not like this mascara. It clumps as you try to add volume, has a strong fragrance and might irritate eyes. Every time I attempted using it I ended up with spider leg eyelashes. Not worth it.

    I am very on the edge about this product. It works just as they say it will. Plump eye lashes and all, HOWEVER! I hate the brush that came with this. The first week, the top came unglued and I am constantly having to shove it back together. And the brush gets really caked with mascara. It is cheaper than most mascaras though!

    I was curious about this mascara, because I have seen so many reviews about this mascara on Youtube.

    I have asian eyelashes ( short and grow straight down). I usually wear black eyeliner to define my eyes but I wanted to try something different for summer, not so thick. So I am on the hunt for a thickening mascara.

    I want my lashes to be thick and not long.

    I tried this mascara and I right away noticed that I had to keep on building up to achieve what I wanted, I found it too clumpy and the brush is way to big for my asian eyelashes. The smell is also annoying. it kind of reminds me of ....when you puncture your pen and it leaks, it smells like the ink.

    I will not buy this again.

    I've recently bought a tube of this mascara and it is definitely a great price, but you get what you pay for! I have never used a mascara that clumps this much!! Although I must admit that the clumping did stop after I got used to it but WOW it's hard to forget how bad it was at first! It does add a fair bit of volume but I wish it lasted longer! I feel like I have to reapply and I would much rather spend a bit more and have a mascara that I can swipe on in the morning and forget it!

    I was not impressed by this product based on all the good things I had heard about it. It make my eyelashes sick together which both looked funny and was uncomfortable. By the end of the day it flaked off my lashes and black flakes were often noticeable under my eyes. I also found that it had a smell to it that I didn't like at all and could actually still smell even after I was done applying it.

    i gotta say o was pretty dissapointed with this product. maybellin is a great brand and they miss the mark with this mascara. ( the green one in the skinny lond tube is WAY BETTER)

    I have long eyelashes so i was looking to amp them up with lots of volume... i better keep looking.

    it has a HORRRIBLE smell, my boyfriend always thinks i farted when i open the tube :-)
    they clump together your eyelashes and leave residue. what a mess!
