The brush was a thicker, fuller brush, so I thought that it would lengthen and plump my lashes up. But I found the liquid wasn't thick enough. I had to put on like 3 or 4 coats to even have it look like I was wearing mascara. By that time, it just turned into a big clumy mess. I wouldn't spend the money on this again.
Ughh not a fan of this mascara. I didn't like the formula, too dry in my opinion. I do not recommend this mascara.
I have to admit, I love my drug store mascara's (Maybelline Volume Express, Great Lash, etc), but as of late I've been really into Clinique products (bought the Sonic System, foaming face soap, dramatically different moisturizing cream, etc) so I bought the mascara. Now I'm used to dramatic lashes, and frankly, that's the way I like it...the more impact, the better.
While all my other Clinique products live up to the brand, the mascara fell a little short. About $20 for a normal size tube, which is more than I'm used to spending. The brush is full of bristles and the mascara itself comes out thick and bold black colour. The problem lies when applying, the mascara itself is so thick and then combined with the thick brush, it is hard to get to the root of your lashes and have a full stroke to the end. Also, your (well at least mine) begin to clump together the more I go over them. I ended up going over my lashes with my Volume Express to get the separation and fullness. I should note, my lashes are pretty average - good length, good fullness, but nothing spectacular.
Unfortunately, this product did not create any high impact for me. Definitely a let down however, it does not mean I won't buy Clinique products in the future.
Clinique seems to be more of a drug store brand than a high end store brand, not a very good product.
This mascara was quite good however flakes off throughout the day so I probably won't repurchase
Like it, don't love it. I found it light but flakey and it dried up very fast. Not good value for money.
This mascara is incredibly average for a high end mascara, for almost triple the price it isn't any better than L'Oreal's Voluminous.
It has a regular fibre shaped brush, nothing special, it lengthens alright, gives some volume, and literally no seperation.
It's definitely not worth the price and I'd definitely reccommend that you go to your local drugstore and find something similiar, because it'll be alot cheaper and probably better.
I got this mascara as a sample from the Clinique lady in Macy's. I was pretty excited about it (I love samples) so I washed off my makeup as soon as I got home and tried it.
Initially, I was pleased with the amount of volume it gave my lashes. The mascara was a little clumpy, but I managed to brush it on so it looked nice. Within an hour or so, I realized I was blinking my eyes unnecessarily. My eyes were irritated, and when I reached up to touch my lashes, they were brittle and stiff. The mascara had hardened on my eyelashes in a way that was not only unpleasant, but unattractive.
I tried the mascara the next day, hoping it was just a freak experience, but the result was the same. It was also difficult to entirely remove, even with wonderful makeup remover. Needless to say I had hard, tiny clumps of mascara on my eyelashes for a couple days after that.
I was disappointed, because I was expecting Clinique to have a higher quality mascara like some of their other products.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend the product because of its hardness and irritibility. The amount of volume it gives your lashes is good, though not above any regular drugstore mascara. If you want soft and thick lashes that feel natural, this is not the mascara for you.
