Most Helpful Positive Review I will no longer buy $20+ mascara or falsies I wanted to wait to write this review to give the most honest opinion I can about this bad boy. This might be a lengthy review so prepare yourself! To be 100% honest, I was quite hesitant to even review or try this product when I learned I was having it sent to me. After my last review of a new NYX eye product, I was upset to receive some sort of burn chemical reaction. Having healthy, natural lashes, you can understand why. But after a few days of contemplation and being a lover of NYX as a brand in whole, I gave it a go. After a few deep breathes and possible shots of tequila, I curled my lashes and primed them with the Lancôme lash primer and swiped this baby on! I am not going to lie, I was SHOOK about how my lashes looked. I was so excited but the worries of my eyes falling off my face or something happening lingered in the back of my mind all day. My lashes looked PHENOMENAL. Now, I don't wear fake lashes at all. I actually went to Ulta this day and the employees ASKED me what lashes I was wearing. I told them the mascara I was wearing. No lashes. They were also shook! My lashes grew in length, thickened in color (naturally black), and just looked so beautiful and natural. None of those bug leg lashes going on at all. Now remind you, I was wearing a lash primer and I curled my lashes since I have one lash on my left eye that likes to linger down from its web of lashes and poke me in the eye occasionally... that's a different story. Anyway, I was quite impress with this for a first time use. No chipping, no falling lashes. It held up great in Arizona heat. I wasn't in love yet since like I said, I wanted to give this a honest try. After nearly 12 hours of wear, I washed it off. It came of instantly, no harsh scrubbing required. No after residue you usually get with mascara either. That was day one. Day two, I wasn't going anywhere but I usually always do my brows and wear mascara no matter what I'm doing that day. My full review is elsewhere.
Most Helpful Critical Review Yes for curls, no for oily lids For starters, I have hooded, very oily lids and straight, long lashes. It is hard for me to keep a curl AND keep my mascara from smudging, so when I was given a new mascara to test, I was both curious and excited to try it out. For first impression, this mascara is a very dry and thick formula. I'm not sure if I had a defected tube, but there was barely any product on the brush and it took me many dips and swirls in the tube to get it on the brush and my lashes. On days I only applied one layer, it kept its curl but would flake off easily. On days where I applied multiple layers, I had lots of volume and curl, but it smudged easily under my eyes. After many trials, the best way I apply this on my oily lids is with a tubing mascara. 1-2 layers of this on my lashes and go over it with my loreal double extended mascara and it resulted in voluminous, lengthened lashes that kept its curl and prevented smudging on my lids. A good addition to my makeup routine. Recommend to those who want to keep a curl and those who don't have very oily lids. I received this product complimentary for review purposes.

Brush is a little stiff but kept my lashes pretty flipped and didn't run or flake on a hot and humid Texas day. Awesome for the price! Will try it some more.
Flakiest mascara ever 2
Alex from UT
I WISH I liked this more because, it is very black and I like the way it makes my lashes look. However this mascara is SO incredibly flakey! I've never used a a mascara where if I blink flakes come off… the flakes get in my eye so it's really not a enjoyable product to wear.
very good 5
j from US
this mascara is amazing. it lengthens and separates your lashes so well without flaking off. the brush can hurt your eyelid a little but you just have to apply it gently.
Great Buy 5
KS from FL
I'm finally stepping up a notch on the mascara game and tried this. I had gotten NYX eyeliner not long ago and love it so I figured I'd try this. I thought the brush looked weird so I wasn't sold on it at first but I'll tell you I love it now. The brush has strong little bristles which get the mascara well into each lash. It's not clumpy volume at all - it's just right.
I liked it 5
Jess from Des Moines
I'm picky about mascara and actually enjoyed this product. Very surprised at how many people didn't
HORRIBLE 1
Vwmsm from Germantown, MD
The brush is so painful when it scrapes your tight line when you're trying to get to the root to apply. There is no length or volume. Do yourself a favor and just simply buy the primer, which is FIFTY times more effective and also has castor oil in it to help the growth of your lashes!
Terrible 1
Alex from Cincinnati OH
Was not impressed with this mascara at all. The brush hurts your eyelid when you apply it and hardly any product gets on the brush.
I love it! 5
Ash from California
I really like this!!! It makes my lashes look so voluminous and adds a little length to them. No clumps at all. I played tennis with this on and my lashes didnt fall or flake. I recommend 100%
Good every day mascara 4
Nat Vega from El Paso, TX
I was surprised at how much I liked this mascara. It lengthens my lashes really well. My only dislike is it dries quickly so I apply 2 coats right away. Definitely going to buy again.
I want to love it so bad 2
Caity from illinois
I really wanted to like this but it flakes off on me, gets tiny clumps everywhere, and the brush hurts my eyelids. on the plus side the color is very black :(
Yes I love this 5
Idk from Cullman
It's actually a mascara that actually works and it's very affordable!!!
Needs several coats to have fuller lashes, stays on okay. 3
mary from Alabama
I like the product but not in love with it. It takes several coats to get a fuller coverage. It stays on pretty good and does not irritate my sensitive eyes. Good price.

tangerine from westco
This mascara does a good job applying to almost every lash (I have thin eyelashes). It's easy to build without getting that thick cakey mascara look. Dries kinda quick. Overall pretty happy with it.
my fav! 5
Christine from Scotia, NY

Yes, would definitely purchase again 4
Patsy from Enfield,
Have purchased his in the past and very happy with thisproduct
My Holy Grail 5
Steph from Alabama
I have very short lashes, and this mascara does wonders for them. The shape of the want lets me get each and every lash, and the stiff bristles really help separate lashes. I always keep a backup tube so I'm never without!
Bold and really add volumes 5
Eli from New Jersey
Best cruelty free mascara at a drug store price.
Would not buy again 3
T from North Carolina
Tries this mascara because of the good reviews and because I liked the brush shape/material. I've never had an issue with clumping before but did with this. Flakes off quickly after application. Definitely will not buy again.
Love this Mascara! 5
Cristinak from Illinois
I like to always use 2 coats, if I ever use a third, it def. looks like false lashes.
My favorite mascara! 5
Chloe from TN
I love this mascara! Got it as a free gift with another purchase and liked it so much that i bought the full size. I love that it's in the middle of not too cheap and not too expensive. I have short eyelashes and this mascara really does the trick of adding length and volume for me! I've been using it for almost a year now and have tried other free samples like tarte and i still like this one the best and keep going back to it!

Niki from Pensacola, FL
I already purchased this once and I'm back for more. Thickens and lifts without clumping or flaking.
Would buy again. 5
Tammy from Ok
Best mascara I've found so far.
Clumpy and Flaky 1
Marnie from CA
I needed a new mascara because my Voluminous mascara was real old, so I just grabbed this one real fast, but I can't use it. I have pretty short, straight lashes and it just clumped them up real bad. I'm glad that this works for lots of people, but I went back to the store and got another tube of Voluminous. It's also really flaky. After an 8 hour shift, I've got black circles under my eyes and mascara flakes all around my eyes. Real embarrassing.
Unusable mascara. 1
Jojo from Georgia
These bristles are very sharp and stiff. The mascara doesn't come off the wand onto your lashes. You could seriously scratch your eye and the skin around it. I'm returning it immediately.
