Waited my whole life for this!
I don't purchase mascara too often at all, but glad I did this time because it was very lucky selection. I've used only Maybelline my entire life but it irked me that my eyes are more rounded and hard to coat all the lashes due to the brush being too big and straight. This new smaller microbrush made it a whole new routine. Thank you SO much Maybelline!

Wonderful except no Brown!
I love this mascara! So easy to apply with the tiny brush. You can get every lash from corner to corner and the bottom lashes too. Easy to wash off and remove. This desperately needs to be available in a brown or at the very least black brown variety. The black is so harsh.

For reference, I have stick-straight Asian lashes. I like mascaras that are more natural-looking that add length, however this mascara is too natural-looking. It does not do much in terms of adding length or volume. I find that this mascara is not waterproof, which it claims, or smudge proof. It starts to transfer onto my lower lash line within an hour and I’ve cried with this mascara and it just went everywhere. I’d say if you have really nice lashes already and are looking for a tint, this would be good for you.

Dry with almost nothing in the tube! This has happened every time I’ve bought it from Target over the past two years. Never again.

Hi there! We are truly sorry to hear that your experience with Lash Discovery has been consistently disappointing over the past two years. To clarify, Lash Discovery is a specialized mascara featuring our smallest mini-brush, and the tube itself is a smaller size (0.16 fl oz) compared to our standard mascaras (which are typically 0.32 fl oz). This smaller volume, combined with the waterproof formula, can sometimes make the product feel "dryer" or less abundant than a full-size tube. However, the formula should always be smooth and effective for defining those hard-to-reach lashes. Since you have experienced this repeatedly at the same location, it may be related to how the product is being stored or rotated. Your loyalty is very important to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can improve the experience for all our users.

Love
Evrytime I try a new mascara I am highly disappointed. This is the one I always end up going back to. My lashes are short and straight. All I need to do is curl my lashes and add this mascara and the curl stays put. This is so easy for to remove also since I have sensitive eyes.

The Best!
It doesn’t smear it goes on nice and easy. Better to do two coats. Good for details and you don’t get the dark circle under your eyes lol

My favorite mascara
This is my favorite mascara. It separates my lashes beautifully. Easy to apply to both upper and lower lashes. Waterproof does not budge all day

4/5 stars
I purchased ‘Very Black Waterproof’ bc of the slim wand and waterproof aspect. I have Asian lashes, a super oily face, and i work as a barista. I LOVE the wand on this. It actually helps coat each lash, making them look more naturally enhanced without being clumpy! 4/5 stars though because even though it’s waterproof, it definitely smudges under my eyes even when i avoid squinting them from smiling or laughing (possibly due to the oiliness of my face, but the Covergirl waterproof and Maybelline waterproof + smudgeproof ones don’t visibly smudge on me). Wish this had a smudgeproof version too and more colors!

Please offer in BROWN!!!
This is always the mascara I go back to. Pros: Easy to get (Walmart). Mini brush gets mascara on each lash (mine are thin) Little to no clumping (until it starts drying out) Cons: I do have to purchase a new one about every other month. Luckily it is not expensive. It seems to dry out quickly and I am not a “pumper”. It only comes in color Very Black. I really want a Brown or Black Brown option for every day. I am light haired so black looks harsh for daywear.

Easy to use
I had been using Lash Discovery for years when I was tempted to try "thicker" types. After a year of clumping and smearing and flaking, I am back to using this old favorite. The mini wand is so much easier to use and defines the tiniest lashes. I want others to see me, not my makeup. This product is the best!

A little wierd
I bought this waterproof mascara to use on my lower eyelashes. The brush is very tiny, but what makes it weird is it has a very long wand, making application a little awkward. Light coverage but buildable. It's a very specific type mascara. I could see in some situations, people really liking it, but I think it's not for general use.

Perfect for definition
Perfect for lower lashes or those with skimpy lashes. I also use this over Maybelline Falsies mascara to provide extra length and definition for special events.

The best
This is literally the only mascara I’ve found that isn’t cakey or clumpy, is buildable, doesn’t run by the end of the day , and the brush is able to catch the tiniest of eyelashes, making my eyes really pop. I like that it isn’t waterproof, too. I haven’t been able to find the washable one in stores near me for the last year+ so I guess I’ll have to buy online ugh.
