I bought this black waterproof version of the formula hoping for the exact thing I lost many years ago when they discontinued Lash Stylist, it might be even better than the one I used before!My eyes don't feel itchy, and my eyelashes have flexibility vs feeling crispy. I tried this without the use of a eyelash curler to see what kind of lift I could really get and wow.... I just bought two more bottles of this stuff that's how pleased I am!If they offered a comb applicator version of this I would be in heaven. Still, it works wonders for me, and that is saying a lot since my eyelashes don't like to do much, and now I can hold them upright all day. I didn't notice any flaking either so that is a huge bonus.I actually ended up sending a link to a friend who also loved and used Lash stylist from way before. When you're recommending to friends you know its good. <3I'm trying to understand why this product has some bad reviews, because I honestly can't find any fault with it. Maybe they tried a different version from me? Who knows. I'm pretty ecstatic with my purchase.This mascara was bought as a substitute for uber expensive Fiberwig mascara that I had heard and seen great things about. I also needed something that would ship quick since the event I wanted to do this gyaru look for would be in a week. Shipping was great by the way, bought it using Amazon Prime and it arrived just in time as promised.Anyway about the mascara, it is really dark, surprisingly dark, especially since I have black lashes to begin with and I had no idea they could actually get darker :p so if you want that in a mascara this has it.What I was really looking for was length though and it did okay. It wasn't nearly as dramatic as I've seen with the Fiberwig (though I've never tried it myself) but I didn't have the highest expectations so it made for a good start. Lengthening was really good actually, not as good as I wanted for the look but as good or even better maybe than I had expected.Another important factor to me was to be clump free and this mascara also did well. It's not the clump-free-est I've ever had (Maybelline's Great Lash is) but it does decently, especially after I run that electric curler through it then it looks really nice. I also attempted to separate up my lashes with a lash comb but the mascara flaked off :( which really bothered me, I'm glad I didn't have the full face on trying it for the first time since messing with it made it flake quite a lot. But um, yeah, don't do that and you'll be good.Overall I actually quite liked it, flaking is the only issue I had and in all other aspects that I've considered it does pretty well and looks especially nice when curled. It did better than expected and was well worth the price I think, especially with the free two day shipping. I would indeed recommend this product.I read a review (not on Amazon) of this mascara. Sounded good, so I checked to see if Amazon carries it. They do, and I decided to try it. I needed a new mascara, anyway.When I shop for mascara, I check out price, product, performance, and packaging. I want a product that works well, costs little, and is packaged in a manner suitable for use and preserving the product. I prefer non-waterproof mascaras, and I like lots of length and volume. In other words, I'm demanding, and not so easy to please.When I received this, I thought at first I'd received old product because it is SO THICK, it appeared to be dry. Usually when you open a new mascara, you'll see a bit at the end of the brush you need to wipe off before you start applying it. No, that wasn't there. I started putting it on anyway, and SHAZAM! It does add incredible volume and length, plus, if you twist the wand upward and outward, it adds great curl. At first I thought, oh, I have too much of this on, but the curl softens a bit.As far as volume goes, you can get it with Cover Girl Lash Blast in the orange tube, or the L'Oreal or Maybelline volumizing mascaras. They're very good. But THIS one gets the lower lashes, too, without clumping.This mascara does not flake or smudge. Even when my eyes are watery from allergies, my mascara stays perfect all day long. It will clump if you dawdle when you apply it. Just go at it with confidence. You can speedily add layers while simultaneously brushing out any clumps.I'm ordering this, or the lengthening version, again. I haven't tried the lengthening version yet. This is a great mascara. It exceeded my expectations. The only caveat I offer is that because it is so thick, it does take me a little extra time to remove it. I dab on some One of the best mascaras I've owned and genuinely no clumpsnon riesco a capire perche questo mascara sia cosi secco/asciutto..non si fa in tempo a modellarlo. Il colore non è intenso. Alla seconda passata fa grumi. Non sopravvive il tempo di una serata. Inoltre la confezione del mascara è fatta di un materiale veramente economico ma inserito in una scatolina di cartone davvero troppo curata. Avrei concesso qualcosa in più al materiale dello scovolino. Non vale 10 euro...ma neanche 5Il mascara ha uno scovolino veramente ottimo e, la colorazione è molto intensa.Avendo di mio ciglia già molto lunghe e folte, non necessito di mascara miracolosi.Peccato però che si sia seccato subito. Ne ho dovuto acquistare appena adesso un altro.Buon mascara, nero intenso, applicatore comodo e si riesce a passare bene su tutte le ciglia, peccato che di mascara dentro ce n’e veramente poco.this makes my eyelashes look super long and pretty, but I do notice that a couple hours in it smudges onto my eyelids. I still wear it if I'm wearing eyeliner so you can't see the smudges. Overall it's a lot more effective in making your eyelashes look long and thick than other products.
