Guests are saying
This mascara has received a variety of feedback, with many guests praising its ability to define lashes without clumping, flaking, or smearing, and its long-lasting formula that keeps lashes looking super long. However, some guests have experienced issues with the wand being too flexible, making application difficult, and the formula not providing the desired volume or causing raccoon eyes. The product has a loyal following, with some guests using it for over a decade, yet there are concerns about its availability and potential discontinuation.

Favorite mascara ever! Gets clumpy as it gets old or almost out but it is otherwise perfect.

my #1 for 10+yrs
Best waterproof mascara. Doesn’t clump or look flaky. It’s super light and holds my curl amazingly! Easier to remove with oil based remover than other formulas. I use this as a base, always, to hold my curl. I go over it with The Falsies (non-waterproof) and the two together are magic.

Didnt like
Didn’t like this mascara. The wand was very flexible / “bendy” making it very hard to apply the mascara on your lashes. You also have to apply many coats in order for it to show.

*Waterproof Version* is INCREDIBLE
If you have thin lashes that lose their curl within 30 seconds of applying other mascaras, this one is for YOU! This is the only mascara that keeps my lashes curled all day. Naturally, I have really unimpressive lashes that are thin and short. This mascara makes them noticable, long, and curled. LOVE. I have probably purchased 20 bottles of this in my lifetime. (NOTE: I buy the waterpoof version! Holds the curl like a dream. The non-waterproof version is only okay in my opinion.)

Ride or die brush
Best mascara ever, works best after a few applications when the mascara itself gets a bit thicker. Best wand out there for fairy vibe lashes that don't all separate and become little spider legs.

Don't waste your money
I hate the flexible wand. It makes it very difficult to control.

Lasted through the Ugly Cries
Five stars is not enough for this product! I just sat by my mother's side as she passed from Alzheimers. I was wearing this when I first arrived and it lasted through the worst ugly cries and tears you could imagine. I was absolutely floored. Excellent product!

Good waterproof option
I’m not sure why it made other people have black under their eyes but it stayed on my eyelashes and was waterproof every day at the beach for me. I put it on in the mornings. We had heat indexes over 100° and it didn’t melt off my lashes and end up under my eyes. Also, there were some complaints about the brush but it was sturdy enough for me to apply easily. I didn’t put my face in the water, but it worked for me!

Pick something else
The brush is floppy. The product is thin, doesn't stay and gives you racoon eyes within the hour.

Formula could be better
The formulation is not a one swoop effect. Be prepared to put on 5-10 coats.

Will always be my go to
I've been using this mascara for over 10 years now, and I still LOVE IT. It's so lightweight on the lashes, it doesn't feel like you're wearing anything. It's also a great buildable formula

Great formula! Soft lashes!
I like this one! It doesn’t make your lashes stiff and spikey❣️ I’m not sure why people are complaining about the brush. Maybelline- maybe keep the gel-mousse formula and try a new applicator? But please don’t discontinue!

Not what I would have expected from Maybelline
I liked the brush would have worked great had the mascara itself had not been a thick clumpy mess when I opened it
