I have been using this mascara for about two years now and I have bought other other brands but I always end up coming back to this mascara, and for good reason. I think it just does its job so well. Its super black, it separates the lashes perfectly and I have long lashes so I always struggle to get the tips of my lashes but this mascara does that perfectly - I think its because of the shape of the brush.
I must say though that the first time you use the mascara it is quite wet so it can get a bit messy. But after that it just turns into a perfect mascara. I highly recommend this mascara and would buy it over and over again.
I bought this mascara mainly because the mascara I usually used dried up, and I just could not find one whose brush I was okay with ( I am very fussy when it comes to mascara brushes), or the one that I always bought. So the only mascara that I could find that day whose brush looked like it won't clump my lashes was this one. The next day I used it and I found that it was a lot more wet than I'm used to and that day unfortunately my lashes did clump. The day after, I tried it again without wearing my usual liquid eyeliner and found that it worked amazingly, my lashes were long and separated and almost looked like I had false lashes on.
The cons: This mascara is not build-able in layers at all, if it has dried you can't build on it, also the moment you want to wash it off it feels like it won't come if then a few seconds later everything just comes off like normal, I don't think a makeup remover wipe will be able to take it off actually. If you do decide to wear liquid eyeliner and this mascara, make sure you comb through your lashes with another brush first before you apply this or it will clump.
Weird fact; I obviously do not advise this but, if for some reason you fall asleep with this mascara on, you will wake up the next morning with your lashes exactly as they were when you applied it the previous day, it does not clump or move, it does crumble a little but your lashes look exactly the same.
I heard all about this product so I decided to go for it when I saw it at my local Clicks. The price tag was a little steap (I thought) at 150 odd bucks - the normal Maybelline mascara retails at about 120 (at most) so I was slightly disappointed at that but I decided to purchase it anyway! :) Before I go on, I feel that mascara is a very personal thing as people have completely different eye shapes and that effects their lashes and how their lashes look! So for some, they may LOVE this product, but for others not so much. This mascara has a curled brush which I think is meant to 'curl' your lashes as you apply. It's shape is very continent as its beant the same was as your eyes - if that makes sense! ;) I found this mascara beautifully dark and smooth. However it clumped on my lashes :( I still use it but it isn't the first mascara I grab out of makeup bag. The Maybelline Smokey eyes Volume express (big yellow tube) is still my go to mascara!:)! xx
