I am disappointed with this product. I got the illuminator for brown eyes which has a bronze highlight. I don't find it enhances my eyes. It actually makes my lashes look strange like there is excess eyeshadow on them. I think gold would have been a better match for brown eyes. I may try the one for "all eyes" which seems to have a silver highlight. The formula is average. I don't find that it adds much volume to my liking. It adds length like any other mascara but nothing spectacular.

I am all about big, long eyelashes. For the longest time I was ruining mine with fake ones, and before I found this I was missing having long eyelashes. This mascara definitely gives me eyelashes comparable to wearing fake ones. The biggest, and only problem with this mascara in my opinion is that it's VERY prone to clumping. To avoid it, I make sure I brush the tip of the brush on the lid because that's where the first application (the white stuff) seems to gather. Overall, the EXTREME length and thickness I get from this mascara outweighs the possibility of clumping.

I had seen a lot of reviews and hauls on this mascara and I had to buy it. All the hype it has is totally true!! I apply the white coat first, which seems to add length to my lashes, after letting it dry a few seconds I apply the color. Result? Super extra long lashes!! Amazing, and it lasts all day long!!!!! To take it off, I usually just hold a little warm water on my eyes and after 2 seconds, you can see what looks like little tubes come off. Super fast and totally worth the $12.99; I've also seen it for a dollar less at Zellers!

One thing I'll say about this mascara is that it really gives amazing length and doesn't smudge. However, the con's outweighed the pro's for this one. Within two weeks it was so clumpy I could barely apply it and it irritated my eyes. I initially thought the idea of being able to remove it with just warm water was great, but I found that it took a lot of scrubbing/pulling at my eyes to get all the tubes off. This one just wasn't for me.

I wasn't that impressed with this mascara. I guess it's just not what I was expecting. I would have liked a little more length, since that's what it's meant to do. It's not the mascara I would choose when I'm wearing eye shadow, because I feel like it almost makes my eyelashes look more pathetic than they already are.
HOWEVER, I do like that it's so easy to wash off, you don't need to use makeup remover. Just warm water and it comes right off. Easy peasy. Because of that, I do use it on occasion when I just want something simple on my face, because I know I can wash it right off after. But if I didn't already own it, I don't think I'd buy it again.

This mascara definitely does what it advertises! Amazing length! The only thing I dont like about it is the double application. If they could make a product this effective with just one application it would be perfect!!

What I think:
Firts of all, I want to mention that I've never been a fan of "2 steps" mascaras. I've always thought it's was a waste of time as none of them gave me good enough results to justify the application time. But this mascara might have changed my mind a little! The Beauty Tubes technology is an absolute beauty breaktrough in my opinion, and I don't understand why nobody seems to be talking about this product. I like to remove this mascara while washing my face or showering. Most of the tubes will wash away by themselves, but for those who doesn't, you simply have to smooth them away with your fingertips. No more money wasted in makeup remover!

I LOVE this mascara! It makes my eye lashes look super long! My friend thought i was wearing fake eyelashes! The best part is that it comes off really easily. So i don't have to scrub it off. The only downside is that the mascara doesnt hold curls. So i usually use another mascara like Maybelline's Great Lash on top. It doesn't smudge and it adds length plus volume. Love it!!!!!!!!

I really wanted to love this product. The idea of using a primer on lashes prior to colouring sounds like such a good idea. Usually the demise of prodcuts like this is formula and this is the case this time.

The product is a mascara that is two-ended. You first apply the primer, a light milky colour on your lashes that is supposed to make them stonger and healthier. Then you apply the colour end after and your lashes are supposed to explode.

When I used it I found that the primer went on nice. It lightly coated my lashes and they were whiter. I think my main dissapointment in this product came with how the colour coat went on. It was drier then I thought it would be and didn't give me the effect I wanted. For the price, I can get alot of other way better products, considering this product usually retails for ~15$.

I say pass, you can get better - but it works so I would pass it as average.

This mascara was on sale at my local grocery store so I thought I'd give it a try since it sounded cool. I like that this mascara washes off easily. I have medium length lashes and I didn't notice much of a difference. If anything, it added some length but I couldn't volume as I do from other mascaras such as Full N Soft. But I think it's worth a try.
