    I got this as a birthday gift from Sephora. I was surprised that for a sample, they would include the full brush...which was very unique shaped.

    I guess some people find the full brush annoying. I didn't, I found that it did a very nice job separating the lashes and the mascara was none clumping. The trick is to always hold the fat end on the outer edge of your eyelashes....even if you are right handed and putting mascara on your left eye. I got use to putting mascara on with my left hand for my left eye and that solved the issue.

    The product does need to be reapplied a few times, but it doesn't goop on and clump, it leaves thicker more defined clump free lashes after about 3 coats. They almost look like falsies. I quite enjoyed the non clumping formula.

    Would I buy it again? Likely, but $24 for full size seems quite expensive for mascara....I may just buy travel tubes at $14 since i don't use mascara every day to justify the full tube purchase.

    I got this for free on my birthday as a gift at Sephora. This is the best mascara I have ever used! I am so happy I got it! I'm going to be pretty sad when it's finished! The only thing I would say about this mascara is that it gets your eyelids pretty messy when you're applying it. I'm not sure if this is because I have the mini size, and the stick is smaller or because that's just how it is. I recommend it!

    I received this mascara as a travel size in the Sephora 2014 Birthday Gift. Although this mascara is a lot pricier than how much I would normally pay for a mascara, I must say, it is worth every penny! This is literally my all-time favourite mascara. It applies easily to my eye lashes, without clumping. It last long and doesn't smear (even-though it is not water-proof). It made my eye lashes long longer and fuller, without making them look fake. Definitely will purchase in the future!

    Quick brush strokes help coat each lash well. One eye at a time works best. Received this mascara in the birthday gift at Sephora along with a lipstick. It has a unique wand shape that helps with the top and bottom lashes.

    One of the best mascaras I have ever used. Definitely a go to. Makes your eyelashes super black and volumized.

    This is a mascara that adds volume, length, and curl. You only need one stroke with this mascara without it clumping. This brush is a very different shape. It is a cone-shaped brush for separating my lashes and a huge rounded base that provides me with loads of volume. Goodness, I need volume. It did a great job. I truly was surprised, especially when I pulled out the brush. No faith, turns into faithful. It only cost me $28.00. Geez, I got to stop buying mascara. I just can't decide which one I like the best. Ya, I know, I can like more than one.

    I have very long eyelashes to start off with. But using this makes me look like I"m wearing false lashes. Anytime I wear this mascara, strangers stop and ask what I'm wearing, or if the lashes are fake or extensions. The only qualm I have about this is that it sometimes flakes under your eyes (put a top clear coat mascara on top: Anastasia Lash Genius) , and the second thing is that it dries out quickly so you can only get a solid 2.5 months out of it.

    This mascara is rather on the pricey side, but its worth its weight in gold!


    Although mascaras should only be used for 3 months and then tossed (swiping it onto your eyelashes and dipping it back in the tube multiple times....yikes! A bacteria wonderland!), this never disappoints.

    The formula is rather on the thicker side, making multiple coats a little tough to work with. Solution: work vigilantly and fast.

    With that aside, this mascara lives up to the hype. It provides long, full eyelashes and offers the blackest black.

    In other words, as long as you work fast, this mascara is a keeper for long curled lashes that last and dont smudge

    Happy shopping!

    This mascara gave me volume and went on very black. It also gave me some length. My lashes look thick but natural. It takes more than a couple coats for volume but it didn't clump on me.

    I received this in just a sample size from Sephora with my Beauty Insider card.The formula is decent, not too watery or goopy. It was pretty good at thickening lashes but only after about 3 coats. It's more of a lengthening mascara I found and I prefer thickening. It offered pretty good definition. However, I didn't really think that it was anything more than L'Oreal (I use Extra Volume Collagen). So for like $25 it just doesn't seem worth it for something an $8 mascara can do just as well - if not better. For that reason, I do not recommend.
