I tried this product simply because I was on vacation and forgot to pack my makeup and this was cheap. I was completely shocked when I put it on my lashes! I had fake lashes for years and loved them, but they left my natural lashes looking horrible! I have been using products to repair my lashes and just accepting that they will always look like short stubby things, but then I put this on and OMG I was ecstatic! It looked almost as good as when I was getting them done! It not only lengthens and adds so much volume, but it also gives them a nice curl! The only negative I have agaist this product is that it is a bit difficult to remove.
I gotta admit, I purchased this mascara because of the name. Too cute! The first time I tried What the Fake I was hugely impressed. Volume, length, no clumps, and very inexpensive- absolutely the holy grail of mascara. I even took pics of my lovely lashes and sent them to some friends. But i never got those results at any other time. Either it would clump or not lengthen. It felt dried out after my first couple of times using it, even though I closed it tightly. I thought maybe I had gotten an old tube so I bought another tube to try. Nope. Never ever got the results that I did on that first try. Lots of clumping, no great length or volume. So unfortunate, this is a "no" from me.

I love this mascara because of the thick applicator and because it gives my eyelashes volume and density. You can see the difference after one coat ! Best find I ever made !

I like the brand of masacara. I have used others in the line but I am not overly thrilled with this one. I think I will just use the others that I have purchased before.

Absolutely amazing!

I'm a huge fan of Essence mascaras. This one, however, fell short of the mark. It adds some volume but very little length. Would work well for those who like a more natural look. Would not recommend or repurchase.

My daughter loves this mascara. It stays in place and makes her lashes pop.

I tried it once, but did not see any lengthening or volume that is supposed to occur with a mascara with fibers. I have tried fiber mascara before and it worked. I will give it another shot, but was not impressed on the first application. Might have to return.

I went in to pick up a different option from this company but it was out of stock. I thought, how different could they be? This product was terrible. I had it on for less than an hour at church and already had raccoon eyes. I'll still try the other, but was bummed this one didn't work out.

The original formula is best. This did nothing glamorous or extra.
Denise from San Marcos
I'm happy with this product!
Amanda from Savannah GA
Better product and comparable to better than sec mascara. You can't beat the price either!

Two snaps and around the corner for this product. Your lashes go from pitiful to plentiful!

Just like the mascara clumps pretty bad for quality.
Jennifer from Kansas City
This mascara is not great. It leaves dark circles under your eyes.
Marnie from undisclosed
I love, love, LOVE this mascara since it makes my lashes look thick, wispy and natural. Better than any expensive mascara hands down.

I got this about 3 weeks ago and it's already dried out but it's great when u first get it.

Worse mascara I have ever used. Do not waste your money.

Only used once so far, but great at not clumping
Aly from Oklahoma
This mascara flakes so bad! If it didn't flake it would be perfect

My eyelashes are naturally short and with this mascara the length and volume were incredible! I love it!! My eyelashes stayed voluminous and no smudging or transferring. I highly recommend this!

I'm absolutely obsessed with this mascara. It makes s my lashes look thick without clumping or looking spikey even after a couple of coats. I won't be using anything else.
Janie R. from US
Great mascara. Stays on all day, does not flake and allows you to build and build your lashes.
