Solid!
This mascara is great for the price! Does what you need it to do and actually doesn’t come off easy for a non-waterproof. My lashes are longer and more defined with just one application! Not buildable however, will clump. I don’t wear much makeup but this product is great and I keep one for when I’m on the go!

My favorite mascara 💖 I’ve been using this for years and it’s way better than any high end mascara, I’ve tried almost everything but this is where it’s at. It makes your lashes look so much longer even with one coat

Why pay more?
Love this mascara. It’s a great job at lengthening, and it’s far less expensive than most other drugstore brands! I’d love to use it with the Essence lash primer too.

Bad, don't buy
This is the worst mascara ever. I know I've submitted a good review before, but after a few uses it became flaky and smudgy.

This is my favorite mascara by far!!! And for the price you can’t go wrong! All you have to do it layer it and you have the false lash look!!

Used to be great but something changed
This mascara has always been amazing. However they must have recently changed an ingredient. It irritates my eyes and makes my eyes get so irritated/sticky/watery. So sad about this and won’t be buying again after years of buying it.

I love this mascara but it just started irritating my eyes out of nowhere. Not sure if they changed the formula or what but I am really distraught because it’s hard to come by good mascaras.

Perfect No Brainer Impulse Buy
Perfect No Brainer Impulse buy !! I was in Target and saw this mascara for $4.99 it was a no brainer to pick up and try and I have no regrets, for the price its a great mascara. In one week i received 5 compliments, try it !!

itchy eyes
I like the way my lashes look when I initially put it on. However, it smudges and smears like crazy. Also, by the end of the day my eyes itch so bad. I thought it was all in my head so I didn't wear it for a few days and no itchy eyes. I'm throwing it away

Ehhh… I used this years ago and loved it but when I repurchased I didn’t love. Clumpy, transferred to my under eye, and messy to remove. I have tried it a couple times but end up removing and using something else.

Not a fan of this mascara. Smears like no tomorrow. I’ll stick to elf.
