This Rocket Power mascara does deliver when it comes to volume. For someone like me who has thick lashes and finds it difficult to get lift, this did a wonderful job. I wish it gave me a little more length though and held a curl a little better. Another plus though is that this mascara does not flake and won't leave your lashes feeling stiff unless you really pile it on.
Let me just start by saying that having short, hard-to-curl lashes and oily eyelids is pretty much a recipe for disaster! I picked this mascara up on a whim (I usually use Covergirl LashBlast waterproof) and actually really love it! It was pretty cheap, maybe $5-6 at Walmart. I curled my lashes and applied 2 coats. It goes on really nicely, no clumps or eyelid smudges, the brush has short plastic bristles that look tricky to work with, but really aren't. It held a curl all day and gave nice volume without being too much. I wore it swimming at the beach and had maybe 1 or 2 tiny flakes under my eyes but I'm pretty sure I rubbed my eyes by mistake so aside from that, it didn't budge. I even had a bit of a time trying to remove it, but for someone like me, that's exactly what I need. Overall, it's a great choice and I highly recommend it!
I love this mascara! I like my eyelashes to look thick and voluminous, which usually requires 2 coats and can sometimes cause my eyelashes to look clumpy. But this mascara does a good job of coating and separating my eyelashes and I find that I only need 1 coat now. I've went swimming with this mascara on and it didn't smudge. I found that it's fairly easy to take off with a makeup wipe unlike most waterproof mascaras. It's very inexpensive and I will purchase this product again and would definitely recommend trying it!
I completely agree with the only other review on here! I have thin sparse straight lashes and this is the only mascara I have found that adds so much volume with only 1 coat! I feel like it is a little difficult to get off at night, but I just hold the makeup remover pad to my eye for a minute so it can soften the mascara, allowing it to come off easily. But I know many people don't like this mascara, I definitely recommend it for those who want to trick people into thinking they have more voluminous lashes!
Amazing mascara. I do have short, sparse, straight thin Asian lashes and this mascara gives my lashes that extra oomph and it's feel soft, not dried up. I love it. I am not crazy with the brush but I can live with it. I use this from early in the morning and it stretches until later part of the evening and it's stays put. I don't have any flaking nor smearing and I don't have to re-apply. It's definitely a keeper.
