General Comments on this product:
I LOVE THIS! I've been on this site for quite some time now but this is the first time I really felt the need to write a review because I just think everyone should try this!

Brush: This is by far the best brush I've ever come across, it's the plastic kind and not like the big and clumsy wand. It only have bristles on four sides, not all around, so you can easily spin the brush to use the bristles you want. On two sides there are shorter, more dense bristles to work up volume and on two sides there are just two lines of bristles positioned far apart (compared to other brushes) which reall makes it easy to boost the length. Clumps are non existant, the brush is just super easy to work with and it deposits a good amount of product, you might need to dip it a second time though for the BIG volume.

Formula: Not clumpy at all, not to hard not too liquidy. It's "very black", not the greyish kind you might come across with some mascaras.
My lashes feel fairly stiff with it on and it has held my curls alll day long. Not waterproof, but it sticks to the lashes, no racoon eyes.

Packaging: Super cute! Black and pink, my favourites

Not the biggest mascara, but it's really cheap over here so it doesn't really matter.

Try it girls and boys!

Would you buy this product again? Definitely (:

I really like this, it added lots of volume, even with just one coat. The brush a bit difficult because I'm so used to round brushes so I have to look closely at the brush and apply according to the two sides, but other than that, I love this, and I will run out and get more as soon as I run out.

Thanks for your reviews ladies - I've been contemplating this mascara, and I think its amazing that you can change the look you want with one wand...killing two birds with one stone. Too awesome.

Right, I have both the black brown regular version and the waterproof version so I shall do a review for both:

Would you buy this product again? Dear god yes

At first I hated this when convinced myself that little comb brushes are rubbish, but then I read a review and got it back out again and gave it another chance. Since then it's been my everyday mascara. It gives great length and volume and has never ever clumped. Brilliant!

WATERPROOF:

Would you buy this product again? I think so, unless I find a better waterproof.

I bought this today and from what ive seen, it doesn't clump and is a nice smooth formula - but it doesn't seem to lengthen as much, but it volumises well! I got this because Ill be using a pool and going to the beach on holiday next week, so it'll be put to the test then!

Would you buy this product again? OMG YES.

I didn't know that drugstore mascara can be THIS GOOD. I was already perfectly satisfied with Maybelline Intense XXL as my drugstore HG, but I guess it was by fate that I forgot to bring my mascaras yesterday so I was pretty much forced to try a new one coz I didn't want to buy another XXL coz I just bought one.

I have Asian lashes for reference, and this lengthens, separates and volumizes like a dream. It doesn't hold the curl, but instead lifts the lashes. I got the regular one, and it doesn't budge! I cried a bit watching this cheesy movie and it stayed in place. BUT it is removed easily by simple cold water. Amazing!! Packaging's pretty too. Just really precisely watch the wand when applying, especially if you're using the short bristles, because the longer ones on the other sides will poke your eye. (It has two kinds of bristles or teeth, short and long, which are like mini combs).

I used it with Shiseido's mascara base and it totally lengthened and defined even more. It made removing shiseido mascara base so much easier too.

Hey all newbies first review here...I bought this mascara about a month ago. I do like the brush it's very good at separating, lengthening and applying an even coat of mascara to your lashes. It does not give any "thickness/fullness" to the lashes though so I use this mascara when I'm wearing a lighter day time look and reserve my other mascara's for my dramatic looks.
It generally retails for $8.00 but if you look you can get it for $4.50 like I did, so for that price it's a definite keeper!

Would you buy this product again? no =(

It didn't work for me, my lashes kinda clumped up. I tried it a few different times, just didn't work out. It's okay when I use it as my second mascara for length...But I wouldn't buy it again, my lashes are already long enough.

Would you buy this product again? I'm not sure

I'll give it this even tho I didn't buy the water proof version, after my poor eyes went nuts over an allergic reaction (not to the mascara) and I was rubbing them like crazy it did not move!

Plus it boosts my thin long lashes like no body's business

Now for the con, it clumps like mad for me

General Comments on this product:
I know it makes no sense to rate this product so high, and then say I would never buy it again, but this is my experience!
I bought the mascara about two weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE the brush and the formula. It makes my lashes super long, and the brush separates and adds a lot of volume to my lashes! I thought for sure I had found my HG!
Then a few days after wearing it - my eyes got really itchy and irritated... but as soon as I removed the mascara, I was fine. I have never had a problem with other mascaras - but apparently my eyes just don't like Glam Eyes.

So I will not buy again - even though I love it!
