Worth it
I never buy high-end mascaras, just because they only last for 3 months once opened. However, I finally decided to take a risk and get a fairly expensive MAC mascara. I asked the lady at the MAC store for a mascara that gave length and volume, but was still wearable because I go to school. She told ...

Not tubing!
This mascara didn't do much for my lashes besides make them look wet and clumpy. They mascara ended up smearing under my eyes within the first half hour. Like big black smears. It does not wash off in tubes, either—I needed mascara remover to get it off. Honestly one of the worst madcaras I've ever tried. Any other mascara is better!
Best mascara ever.
I always use this mascara and love it.
My New Favorite
Was told by staff this is a tubing mascara. I'm still not sure if it is, as I could not find the word "tubing" in the description. It does stay on fairly well, but still not as well as I wish. (I have allergies that cause my eyes to water.) I really love the brush, as it's easy to rich lower & corner lashes with it.

Comments about Extended Play Gigablack
Although I love macstack, this IS THE BEST MASCARA EVER. For me at least, because I don't like a thick mascara, I like my lashes to look as natural as possIble because they're long and hold a curl so this formula really glides on easily and separates my lashes. LOVE IT!
Perfect everyday mascara

Comments about Extended Play Gigablack
This is the perfect mascara for everyday as it delivers length and separation & a tiny bit of volume. I love how tiny the brush is, and I'm able to reach every single lash. It holds a curl all day, & it doesn't bother my eyes. I have meibomian gland dysfunction & my eyes don't feel any bit of discomfort. MAC please don't discontinue this!
