Description

Now get bigger eyes with 360 degrees of false lash glam volume! Upper lashes get over-the-top glam with the upper brush, while the lower brush grabs every tiny lower lash for a full circle effect.

FOR BEST RESULTS: Apply the Upper Brush against the top lid lashes and sweep from root to tip until a clean, voluminous look is achieved, followed by the lower lash line using the lower Micro Brush.

    This is Maybelline's new double-ended mascara, and it's just your average drugstore find. The concept is nice, one side for the upper lashes and one side for the lower lashes. The brushes are nice just the right size. This is a dryer formula, so if you're into that, you'd like this. If you prefer a wetter formula, this isn't for you. It doesn't clump, it separates, but it doesn't really coat your lashes, just puts a small amount of product on them. I don't like the texture, I find that I really have to work with it to get the mascara onto my lashes. I've heard that the lower lash side is a lot like the Clinique Bottom Lash mascara, which I've never tried so I can't compare, but I didn't find that it was anything special. I actually preferred to use the upper lash side on the lower lashes as well. I still prefer my holy-grail L'oreal Voluminous mascara to this one any day and won't repurchase it.

    I got this mascara from a promotion. I was really excited to try out this mascara purely because of the dual ended brush.

    I've tried it a few times and although I like the smaller brush, the rest of the mascara was a let down.

    Cons: I feel that the brushes are too short, I'm left handed so I hold the brush near the bridge of my nose to apply mascara to my right eye and I was constantly trying to make it reach as the brush handle didn't fit over my nose, I think that it would work better if the brushes would on the center part and the formula was in the outer container. The formula flakes really easy and also clumps. I didn't get any noticeable "false eyelashes" look just clumpy look, no volume and lack of separation, not build-able without clumping.

    Pros: I like the little brush, it worked for getting the lashes that the big one missed, I didn't use it on my lower eyelashes as I think it looks spidery. The formula's color is good, consistent and not too watery. Due to design issues, there isn't alot of formula and will probably run out quickly.

    I won't buy this product but I may reuse the smaller brush.
