Would you buy this product again? YES!!!!!

I have found my favorite mascara. I've been looking for you everywhere! I looked in Benefit Bad Gal lash land, Revlon...Physicians Formula, Maybelline, Cover Girl, MAC and I've finally found you! This is the best mascara ever! I don't use anything else from Clinique, but I took a sample of this from my Mom (she uses Clinique and always gets the free gifts) so I tried a sample of this and was instantly in love. This makes my lashes so black, glossy, and full! I have a few areas where it looks like I'm missing lashes (gaps like lauren hutton's teeth) and this picks up every lash and fills in those spaces. I love this mascara!!!

This is my favorite mascara ever! I've tried Dior, YSL, MAC, Benefit, Maybelline...pretty much every mascara on the market, high-end and drug store. This, BY FAR, is the best mascara I've ever used. I have very very short lashes and this mascara makes them long and thick without looking like spider eyes. I highly recommend it!

Would you buy this product again? yep, I do regularly

Better than mac mascara, by far. Make sure the brush is pretty well wiped off before applying; You'll get perfect lashes in a couple coats, and the shiny black color never fades/greys like other true black mascaras.

My only peeve is that I use it every day, but only use a bit so a tube lasts me a LONG time. After a few months, it can tend to flake. Toss it every 3 months like you're 'sposed to and you'll be fine

If I want to waterproof it, I brush on a bit of benefit shelaq after applying.

Would you buy this product again? definitely

this is by far the best mascara that i have ever used. a lot better than diorshow, fibre rich, & maybelline great lash, imo. it doesn't clump or flake, & i've never had a problem with it giving me spider lashes. it has amazing staying power but is still easy to remove. BUY IT!!

Would you buy this product again? Probably

I bought it because of the reviews here, and from a friend with sensitive eyes who liked it. It's definitely better than the claggy stuff I was using before, but it's not quite as volumising as I had expected.

Still, it doesn't irritate my eyes, looks good, isn't crunchy and comes off pretty easily, so I would most likely buy it again.

I got a sample of this mascara and i found it made my lashes all stick together and flake. It also doesnt hold the curl.

SORRY!

Would I buy again? Not sure

I got this mascara - twice - as a GWP and loved it! I figured I'd finally found my HG mascara and definitely planned on buying the full size. No clumping, just very dramatic lashes. In the meantime, I started reading all the raves on Cover Girl Lash Exact and decided to try it, despite never being a Cover Girl fan. Found out all the hype was for real and I really like the Lash Exact. So now there are two mascaras I really like - but I think I like Lash Exact even better - the wand is incredible - and at d/s prices, there's no comparison. So High Impact now reigns as my second favorite mascara, but it's nice to have finally found TWO great mascaras!

im sorry to be the downer of the group -

i have short sparse asian eyelashes that are pretty straight -

although this mascara looked great when i first curled and applied the mascara about an hour later it "weighed' my lashes down. this mascara did not smudge, flake and it was easy to take off but it didnt keep my eyelashes curled - i need my eyelashes to look curley and flirty bc they dont do that on their own.

so unless you ALREADY have naturally curly eyelashes - this mascara is not for you.

i really wanted to like this too!

I got this as a gwp too and i fell in love for it too!
The brush is just fantastic and the formula too. I gives really long lashes, doesn´t become dry and stiff.
What i also love about it, is that it is really black.

Plus, it melts like a charm under water only. So it´s dead easy to remove without any hassle.
I love it!

My opinion on mascaras is that they have to be good (obvious) but also that you have to have the right technique, or it won´t work for you AT ALL!

ps- maybelline volum´express is another of my favourites

Would you buy this product again? Absolutely.

This is my HG mascara. As others have said, it's REALLY black, which I appreciate. It makes my lashes look very full and glossy and I don't get "fallout" under my eyes like I do with other mascaras.

Repurchase?: Yes

General comments: In my experience, this mascara is a true black (and stays that way), lengthens my lashes, does not clump my lashes, and does not flake!
I rated the price/value of the item 4/5 because I think $14.00 is expensive for a product the company recommends using for only six months, before purchasing a new tube of the product. I don't mind spending fourteen dollars for eye shadow/lip stick/lip gloss, which last much longer than six months (at least four times that!).
I love the large, full brush this product has. Clumped eye lashes are a pet peeve of mine, and I never get clumped lashes! I apply only one coat of the mascara because I prefer a natural look, and with that one coat, I do get a "High Impact" look!
For a truly natural look, I use Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara, it's a close second to this product!

I got this as a gift with purchase, and it works wonderfully. It gives my lashes an extra boost...makes them longer and thicker enough to be noticed, but not to the point of falsies. It gives me a very natural look that different from what you could get from Lash Power.

It smuges on my lower eye sometimes, but I have slightly watery eyes. Overall, it's a great mascara for everyday.
