I love trying new mascaras and try as many as I can afford to try. This did not have very good color payoff - didn't seem quite black enough, even though it was the darkest available. It did lengthen pretty well, but seemed to flake more than I'd like. It was a bit difficult to remove.

I am a mascara addict. Although I am on a budget and refuse to spend money on a high end mascara that will only last me a month, so I'm always on the look out for a new mascara. This mascara had good packaging and I had heard good things about it so I picked it up. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Although the mascara made my lashes nice and long, the color payoff of the blackest color they sold wasn't very black at all. Not to mention my eyes were slightly itchy the whole day (I do not have sensitive eyes and I do not wear glasses/contacts) The worst part was when I went to take it off that night.. nearly impossible! I went in with my regular eye-makeup remover and it wouldn't come off, just a few flakes on my cotton ball. So I thought maybe my water-proof makeup remover would work.. I had to scrub my eyes for a while to get it off. And even then it had mascara left over. I was very displeased with this product even though I am an avid lover of Maybelline. I would think twice before purchasing this product.

This was not that great for my lashes. My lashes are medium-length eyelashes, straight...Asian eyelashes, lol. Anyway, it didn't curl that much, the wand was short and it was hard to apply it to my lashes. The curved brush was awkward too and I think the primer and mascara was heavy on my eyelashes. I don't recommend it for my eyelashes, but it might work well for longer eyelashes.
