    My favorite thing about this mascara is that it washes off easily with water. That would probably be a bad thing for someone else, though, and I would definitely not recommend this if you're out on a rainy day, but, after a long outing I don't want to have to be scrubbing my face to get mascara off my lashes.

    As far as mascaras go, this one does the job. It doesn't clump my lashes and it gives enough of a lengthening and thickening for a noticeable effect, but nothing dramatic (although I have yet to try an absolutely amazing one).

    And while it looks a bit awkward, I don't have any trouble gripping the handle. I would definitely recommend this to someone.

    I took advantage of the Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips mail in rebate to try this product. Normally I would spend less on mascara, but I was excited to try something new and free (as the rebate did actually arrive).

    I purchased the mascara duo for blue eyes, and although a reluctant user of blue-colored eye products, I thought I'd try it. I was pleased! The packaging recommends a coat of each color, and I was worried that it would be thick and heavy on my lashes. When I was applying the product, I found it to be light, and I didn't have any issues with clumping or excessive product application. My lashes and eyes just "popped" with the blue-enhanced black mascara. And the mascara held up well in mist and heat, which is better than I was expecting.

    Would I purchase this product again? Indeed. Would I suggest some changes to the product packaging? That's also a yes. The double-ended wand is not particularly sturdy, and I had to fiddle a bit to keep mascara from gathering at the tube openings.

    I bought the shimmer strips mascara for green eyes. I paid approximately 16 dollars canadian for it. That's more than I like to pay for mascara that I don't know if I will like or not. However I did want to check out their eye colour enhancement claims and it did come with a full price mail-in rebate form, so nothing to lose. I don't care for the big applicator brushes, I find them a little bit akward to use. Also the mascara goes on quite thickly and at first I had a lot of clumping problems. I found that I could resolve that issue by taking more time and care with my mascara applying technique. I did some experimenting to get the right/green black combo on my lashes. I like just the tiniest subtle hint of green peeking through. I've read various reviews on line and a lot of people didn't like this mascara and didn't notice any "eye enhancement". For me personally, I really felt that my eyes did indeed look brighter and more noticably green. So, it did what it promised to, for me. Maybe it depends on a persons eye colour or their application technique....? This won't be replacing my favorite mascara anytime soon, but I would buy it again IF it was on sale for a reasonable price. I wish we had a category between you betcha! and fugheddaboutit, because a lot of products fall somewhere in the middle.
