Love this mascara...even without curling my lashes it makes them thick and curly...beautiful big lashes.

The only thing is that it gave me raccoon eyes - it may be because my bottom lashes are really long, but i doubt that. I have to keep wiping underneath my eyes to make sure there's no black smudges. It acutually gets quite annoying to keep having friends say " wipe under your eyes".....But if u don't mind that, then this mascara pumps out huge curly lashes

They should really wite on the package: USELESS FOR SHORT ASIAN EYELASHES.

This formula just weighs down my eyelashes that i ALREADY CURLED.

I tried using both the primer and the mascara by themselves thinking maybe it's too heavy together..but it still weighs down my lashes. Totally USELESS.

Asian's beware!!

I just bought this mascara and I really like it. I was amazed by my fellow lab partner's lashes and asked her which mascara she was wearing that day, and she said it was Maybelline XXL Curl Power.

I LOVE this primer and I use it with other mascaras too. (Try with L'Oreal Telescopic!)

This does curl beleive it or not.
(I still use an eyelash curler, but tried without one day) It has a curled brush which I've never used before, but I don't mind it.
Good price!
I think the primer helps with racoon eyes which I like.
I really recommend this product.

This is probably one of my favorite mascaras that I have ever tried. I love pretty much everything about it.
I have become a faithful user of this mascara!

Pros:
*The volume and length that this mascara gives is really great! I recommend it to anyone who wants a dramatic "going out" look.
*If you don't want a SUPER dramatic look, you can just skip the first coat of white mascara and just put on the black while still achieving a very lovely look.
*No coon eyes!!! :)
*Goes on very smoothly and I don't often have any clumps or other problems similar to this.
*The price is very good! This gives you the same results you would see in a high-priced mascara for cheap!

Cons:
*The packaging is cute, but maybe a bit bulky, but that does not turn me off of this product at all.
*I'm not a big fan of the two-ended mascara thing and I usually just skip the first coat of white unless I want a more dramatic look.

I will continue to buy this mascara because, like I said, it's definitely one of my favorite things that Maybelline has produced thus far.

I received this mascara hot off the presses from Maybelline. It is currently available in the US but is just coming to Canada as of March 2008, retailing for $10.99. It is a two step process: The white layer first for volume curl and length, and then the black layer to lock it in.

I think this may be my new favorite mascara! Here are my thoughts:

Pros:
~ makes my eyelashes look amazing
~ it is very soft. Probably the softest mascara I have ever tried. I hate crunchy lashes so this is huge.
~ you really can forgo the extra step of using an eyelash curler.
~ despite the thickness and length it isn't clumpy. It looks expertly applied.
~ it doesn't bother my eyes at all. Some mascaras make my eyes tingle a little. This one doesn't
~ washes off easily with soap and water.

Cons:
~ I'm not wild on the bulky packaging. I doubt I would have picked this mascara up had I seen it in the store because of it. It's actually a fantastic product but the packaging makes it look a bit cheap I think.

~ Would prefer a deeper pot of mascara and less jumbo applicator. Each pot of mascara is 5.2 ml, so 10.4ml in total, which is actually more than a typical mascara at 8ml, but you get the sense the brush takes up almost all of the space and that it won't last.

Bottom line: Who cares about the packaging? This product really works for me and I will DEFINITELY buy it again.
