Love Marcelle but..
This mascara is a lot to be desired. I tried to like it, even bought it twice thinking maybe I got a dud. It is flaky, and does not stay put, I am constantly wiping my eyes. I love Marcelle products, but not this one.
I wouldn't recommend this product. It is clumpy, flakes everywhere, and doesn't provide volume! There are much better mascaras out there! For the price you pay...you don't get a good quality mascara or a lot of product as the container is small.
This mascara does define the lashes, with some volume, but it leaves my lashes looking spidery after 2 coats. With one coat, my lashes just look wet, as opposed to having any sort of thickness or definition to them. This is a very natural mascara, and is marketed badly for volume. The staying power for this is ok, with no flaking, but the formula is also very thin.
This for me, acted as an average mascara. There was some lengthening and volumizing, but in general, it worked as well as any product. My lashes started to droop around mid-day, as they always do (I have very straight lashes that never stay up!).
I would recommend this to people who just need an average mascara. It's not the worst out there, and will deliver it's promises.
I am on the fence about this product. My results were never consistent: sometimes it works miracles and my lashes were thick and dark while other times my lashes looked pretty much the same as they always do, just with a little extra clumpyness. Also it flakes like mad. The only thing that was consistent about this product was the pain the brush gave me. I guess the way I apply my mascara is too rough on the inner rim of my eyelid for this type of brush -- its hard and inflexible, much like a comb, and it always felt like it was scratching the inside rim of my eyelid. I could just not get used to it, nor could I find a way to apply it that did not feel uncomfortable. I don't think the inconsistent results and the mild pain are worth the price you pay for this mascara. (Wow, after writing this review I guess I'm not so on the fence after all eh?)
I received Marcelle Volume Precision Mascara as a gift. My lashes are skinny but incredibly long, so I decided to try it right away to make my skinny lashes more volumized. I wore it out for a couple hours, and when I came back home, I noticed it had left dark smudges under my eyes. This happens frequently with other mascaras, so I didn't think that much of it, even though the others last longer without smudging. I wore it another time, and when I brushed my eye softly with my hand, it flaked. It had only been, 5 or 10 minutes since I'd put it on, and this disappointed me.
It did, however, do a good job on separating and thickening the lashes. The brush had lots of bristles, which really helped in this process. The thing I hated about the brush was that it was flimsy and floppy, which made it a pain in the ass to put back in.
If you're willing have flaky mascara and smudges within half an hour in order to achieve separated, voluminous lashes, then go ahead and buy this. I'm not really sure how much it costs, as I got it as a gift. I don't recommend it, however. It's probably not worth your money.
