This mascara is pricier than your regular drug store brand... but it's worth it! it provides the perfect combination of volume and length and is buildable without looking gunky. It stays put all day without flaking and can be taken off with a facial wipe at the end of he day.

While on the pricey side ($18 at the Bay) I find that this is consistently my favourite mascara. It doesn't flake or smudge, and adds tons of volume and length even though my lashes are pretty long. One complaint is that it can go on a little clumpy (easily fixed by scraping a little off on the side) and messy if it gets wet, I would recommend this to anyone who is willing to spend a little more on a nice mascara. Easy to get off as well with water alone!

This mascara is most definatly one of my favorites. It is a bit costly to me ( being a student), but is worth every cent. I have tried numerous mascaras and this is one of the only ones that does what i want. It makes my lashes thicker and longer, plus it dont smudge or flake, and is very easy to remove at the end of the day

This is by far my fav mascara, it is a litle higher in price than others but it is well worth the price!

This is one of my holy grail mascaras. Long and think lashes perfect!

Love the look of my lashes. I've been buying this for years and will continue to use!

I absolutely LOVE this mascara. I used to buy cheap drugstore mascara and found that half way through the day the stuff had flaked off and smudged under my eyes, making me look tired and terrible- not good. About 6 years ago I was introduced to Clinique's High Impact Mascara and I have yet to find a better product for my lashes (and yes, I've tried others in that time, and end up giving up on them after one or two uses). My lashes are naturally long, but very fair in colour, so this mascara really makes them pop! I've even had strangers ask me what kind of mascara I wear- seriously! One girl at the hardware store commented how perfect my lashes looked, and sometimes people ask if I'm wearing fake lashes. This is one make-up essential that I am never without. I always buy it in 01 Black, but there are a few other shades available. The price seems a bit high if you're used to buying $5 drugstore mascara, but once you realize what a difference it makes, it's totally worth the extra few dollars. It's not waterproof, but I much prefer it to the waterproof mascara that Clinique makes, even living in rainy Vancouver. There's a reason this mascara often makes it into the "gift with purchase" that Clinique offers: they know it's great and will sell itself once you try it. If you want to draw attention to your eyes and make them pop, without having to wear falsies or get eyelash extensions, THIS is the mascara for you! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

What is Clinique High Impact Mascara?
This mascara from Clinique promises to both volumize and lengthen lashes and provide a pure and deep colour.

Quality of the mascara:

Appearance: This mascara does exactly what it claims to do. It separates your lashes, as well as lengthens and volumizes them with just one coat without making them appear clumpy.

Staying power: It is a long lasting mascara. For me, it lasts from 6am to 10pm without flaking or smudging underneath my eyes. It is not waterproof, so it is easy to get off at night with just a little makeup remover.

Would I repurchase it? Yes.

This mascara is one of my all time favorites ! It seperates all your lashes and does not clump like a lot of store brand mascaras. Lashes look natural, light as though you're wearing natural falsies. They do not flake what so ever so you don't have to worry about clumps falling on your face and smudging.

One of my favorite mascara's that I've used over the years. It's voluming and makes your lashes soooo long. Personally, I love it. One coat is all it takes. It's quick, easy, effective, and works like a charm. Definitely recommended for peopel who wanna try a new mascara.
