I really love this mascara, I have always used a good quality mascara, but as I’ve got older my eyes Warter which gives me panda eyes. Wasn’t to keen on trying waterproof because of past experience of taking it off.
Wow this is brilliant, my lashes look long and a bit thicker,. It feels nice on my lashes and removes easily with my cleanser. No more panda eyes for me. Lovely shaped brush makes applying easy, very pleased.

I have used so many different mascaras over the years (and paid for really expensive ones too) This is by far the best one that I have ever found. Made my lashes look amazing and everyone was commenting thinking I’d had false ones put on. Can’t believe what good value it is. Wouldn’t have anything else.

Love maybe line normally use calorie 2000 but this one is even better my lashes are so much longer would definitely recommend

I have short and straight chinese lashes, when I curl my lashes, I use the mascara mainly on the tips to help lengthen and extend my lashes and this works really well. I’ve used this mascara for a few years (?) now, and repurchased it several times.
I don’t find this mascara smudges at all, unless wearing it for 12 hours plus and it’s easy to remove as it’s not waterproof. I prefer this over the other popular mascara, in the pink tube with the curved brush, as I can really get to all areas of my lash line and also helps volumise if I’m going for a thicker bolder look.

Absolutely lovely mascara.Goes on smoothly no clumping or smudging through out the day.Very easy to remove at end of day.Great value for money will definitely be purchasing again.

Repurchased and a covert. This mascara has proven to me that high-street make-up is not just for the youngsters and over 40’s can still look fabulous without having to splurge on luxury brands.

Read to the end if you have nothing better to do
Following my first purchase I wrote a mediocre review of this mascara which I regret.
The product (new) is full and fluid and the brush is well loaded and I wasn’t used to the applicator brush (it’s a snowman type shape amd I’ve only ever really used standard mascara wands). Within a few weeks my concerns and technique no longer caused me concern. Perfect lashes – buildable, waterproof and defined.
Fast forward four months and the mascara is running low as can be expected. I’m noticing my eyes appear smaller and lashes shorter (put it down to ageing).
Six months later I’m scraping at the dregs and decide to ‘just buy another’ and save myself time researching a waterproof, colonising, defining, lengthening mascara that didn’t clump my lashes (I’m in my early 40’s and my face, skin, hair etc is changing and I just couldn’t bothered doing more research – now the weather has turned I’m feeling less confident and more tired and just need to focus on my family, work, surviving the economic crisis etc – not my makeup smudging and running in the rain).
Anyway, still 6, I’m now familiar with the wand and I know no amount of rain, humidity or tears will cause me to have to worry about my appearance during the course of my hectic days, so it’s an easy decision and I’ve repurchased.
And I will do so again, and again! With a new, fully loaded mascara my eyes are popping, my lashes defined and lengthened, and my confidence is boosted.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I’m still making my mind up about this product it does tend to smudge which isn’t great but it was around 6. The brush is a little oddly shaped but does separate lashes which I like. Second coat necessary to build definition. Perfect for younger people but for me the smudging is a pain (below eyes from blinking and possible rubbing). Not a bad buy overall.

Lovely formula. I’ve never had a mascara with such a smooth, creamy formula. So far it’s been great for my sensitive eyes, good with contact lenses. I haven’t had any flakes or smudging so far. Even cried my eyes out while watching a film and didn’t end up with panda eyes – bonus for a non-waterproof mascara. This mascara is really easy to take off with a good eye make-up remover at the end of the day. My favourite is the Simple Eye Make Up remover.

I don’t like the brush though – it’s so big. It makes it very hard to put on without getting mascara on my eyelid. Also hard to do my shimmying technique. But I am getting more used to it the more I use it. I like that the formula is buildable. One coat looks very natural – lashes are lifted and curled and separated. Two or three coats and you get the false lash effect – which is great. My Mum even commented that when I was looking down it looked like I was wearing false lashes, in a good way! The lift doesn’t last all day though, and I always use an eyelash curler. I do find that as the day progresses the lashes clump a little, which is such a shame. The formula is really lovely, and I can almost feel it doing my lashes some good. It’s like putting on a really creamy lipbalm but for your lashes. I am going to try it with a non-fibre brush. I have been using the Rimmel 3D mascara, which has a much better brush and lasts really well and is half the price, but I was beginning to get annoyed with the shedding of flakes at the end of a long day if I rubbed my eyes.

Seriously, just buy this. I’ve tried tonnes of mascaras over many years on the search for the perfect one, from ones costing anywhere from 4 to 40, and I’ve genuinely never liked a mascara anywhere near as much as this stuff.

So, being realistic, no mascara will ever curl your lashes in the same way a curler will. This does genuinely add lift, and seems to hold my lashes up so it scores points for its curling ability from me. LOADS of mascaras I’ve tried have quite a wet formula which I just think weighs the lashes down and pulls them straight. This one is a fairly dry looking formula on the wand (and I’ve seen reviews of this mascara saying it’s too dry or assuming the tube they received was too old) but a couple of months later the tube is still working it’s magic, so I think it’s the specific formula of this one that’s dry so it’s weightless.

It adds for me just the right amount of volume, so my lashes as defined but not clumpy and it’s seriously BLACK too. It also seems to somehow give the illusion of lengthening more than many of the lengthening mascaras I’ve tried, without having any fibres (or at least none that I’ve ever noticed shed) so it’s never caused me any irritation.

It doesn’t shed during the day for me, or go grey-ish and brittle like many and I’ve never had it deposit those lovely dark circles of mascara dust that many others seem to do. I can’t remember if it’s waterproof according to the bottle/advert, but I’ve had a good cry at a film (Coco, bloody lovely) and it didn’t budge.

Naturally it’s not THE EASIEST to remove, but if it was you’d be moaning about how little staying power it had. I’ve found it comes off with any decent oil based eye makeup remover, a miscellar water or my personal fave, coconut oil. Horror story – one of the frogs I kissed in my search for the mascara prince was the Estee Lauder Double Wear one, and oh my word I thought I was going to have to live in that forever, or pull out most of my lashes trying to get it off. Never again – one use and that tube went in the bin…
