Most Helpful Positive Review The only mascara I ever brag about! I own a lot of mascaras, ranging from local drugstore brands to high-end ones, and this is still one of my absolute favorites. I read the reviews before purchasing it and so my expectations were already pretty high, but all the praise in the world could not have prepared me for this baby. It defined EVERY SINGLE ONE of my lashes, lashes I didn't even think were there! And it lengthened and it SEPARATED. Woah. This scored big points for me. The leading reason why i tend to dislike mascaras is because of the tier stickiness and, therefore, clumping. But this formula has some magic serum in it of some sort because it somehow manages to define and darken my lashes and separate them out. The only thing I would warn you about it, be careful on your first first applications because a clumsy hand can result in some serious smudging. I always like to try mascara on alone before using for a daily look so I can get a feel for the brush and formula, I'd hate to get it all over my newly-applied eyeshadow : (
Still, for such a low price this is a total steal. Seriously, just buy the darn mascara and try it out for yourself!
As for myself, I'll go ahead and order a couple more ; ))
Most Helpful Critical Review not bad - exaggerated name, though. I think companies kill their mascara products by giving them dramatic and exaggerated names. These names raise my expectations, and then I get a bit disappointed.
This mascara is okay. Since it's called "Get BIG! Lashes," I expected some motherload-huge lashes after using it, but alas, this didn't live up to the name. But it's not a bad product. I have stick-straight lashes that are a bit on the shorter side. This mascara did give me a bit of length, and a some volume... but nothing to justify the word "BIG!" with capital letters and an exclamation point, lol. Maybe if it was called, "Get A Little Bit Nicer Than Natural Lashes!" I wouldn't be disappointed, haha.
But, there are good things: it hasn't smudged or flaked on me yet, and it's a nice black. It's also quite affordable. A good price for an okay mascara. I've paid more for other mascaras that did pretty much the same thing.
It didn't hold a curl in my lashes, but no mascara ever does for me. Another thing I don't like is that none of the tubes are sealed, so I have no idea if people have been opening it all day in the store.
All in all, a good price for an okay mascara, nothing special, and I really wish the packages were sealed.

Jeanne from The Villages Fl
This is the first mascara that actually doesn't clump. And at a great price.
Over the years I've tried different brands at different prices but they always clump. Excess gets in my eyes and it's irritating, especially with contact lenses.

miqelle from 14305
Definitely clumps. I even waited to put on a second coat because the first one didn't do a thing. Takes forever to dry and smudges easily.
I will buy this product again! 5

Not good :( 2
ashley from me
It smudges so easily and applies more to my eyelid than my lashes. Very disappointed in this mascara
Great mascara at a cheap price! 5
Cait from Texas
I bought this on a limb because I was on vacation and forgot my regular mascara at home. I was just looking for a cheap replacement for the time being so I scooped this one and I love it! It glides on well and has a super nice brush, and I haven't had any issues with clumps or spider-leg eyelashes.
ok 3
for natural looking lashes from california
my eyelashes look beautiful with only 1 coat super natural but if you add more than 1 coat it will start to flake off
I would definitely recommend this product! 5
Lima Bean from PA
The product is great for people who are just getting used to mascara. It's very lightweight and it feels like you arent even wearing anything!

I really like their products they are very affordable and actually work really well surprisingly for the price.
It wasn't what I expected 5
Purttiegurl from Brawley, CA
I grab this because the other mascaras I usually get were gone. I applied this in the car and I was wowed! I didn't have a eyelash curler and this mascara curled my lashes enough where they were noticeable. Pigmented and they do give you the volume you're looking for.
yes 5

favorite mascara 5
rhare from Kansas City
Favorite mascara hands down! Love the wand and the way it coats my lashes thoroughly. They look much more voluminous! Great product for the price!
A good product none the less 4
High Hopes from ohio
I love Essence mascaras and always opt for one of theirs vs most other brands. I also love BIG, FLUFFY, and THICK mascara wands. The problem with this one is that I think the mascara brush bristles are almost...plastic-y. Most wands are like a grittier, textured kind of feel. This one feels like the product sits on top of the fibers versus in between to adequately coat your lashes. That being said, this product does go on quite nicely and doesn't clump at all! I can notice the lift go down quickly, however, and I believe that is because of the bristle texture.

My favorite mascara 5
strawberryred from Milpitas, CA
This is not so different from all the other types of mascara they sell out there. Maybe I was attracted to the design on the tube when I bought it, but it quickly became my favorite.
Love the Volume 5

Gives you great volume and especially love the price.

Great everyday mascara! 5
Seidy from Walla Walla. WA
I wanted a new mascara, but one more suitable for every use, since I have a mascara for special occasions. I am so happy with my purchase! This mascara gives a great curl and length to my lashes, for a great price! Highly recommend!
Fun, and flashy 5

TiaP from Anniston, AL
I like that I don't have to apply too much to make it noticeable.
Good for the money 4
jenna from st louis
While there are better higher end mascaras, this mascara is way better than any other drugstore mascara i've tried. Good band for your buck. If you don't like big brushes you will not like this.
Not for me 1
Desz from Roan mt, tn
Have bought this brand before but never this one in particular. Ulta was out of about every one of the mascaras so this was my only option. I don't know if it was old or had been opened before but the mascara was all dried out. Couldn't even tell I was putting any on. Very disappointed. Might be a good product but I won't buy this particular one. Definitely no volumeš±
