I've loved it for yrs
I don't have long lashes until I use this waterproof mascara. I can remember searching, overpaying and not finding a good product until the first time I used it. I sometimes I've had to use others but I always go back to it yrs later. it's a great mascara (waterproof brownish/black) honest..

Too thick
Imposible to remove . I’ve used soap ,cleanser and coconut oil . It’s like a g like paste that is permanent. Goes on well but won’t come off easily and sticks to skin .

My favorite mascara
I have tried numerous different mascaras from the most popular brands and different prices and this one by far is my favorite. No clumping, no smudging and makes my lashes look full and long and the price? What’s not to like.

Something has changed...
This used to be my go-to mascara. Been using L’Oréal for about two years and decided to try this one again as it’s a few bucks cheaper. Not impressed. Not as volume building as it used to be and gets flaky when dry. Disappointed because I’m a big Maybelline fan.

Love it except the wand
I ended up using my typical mascara brand wand in this mascara. Otherwise I love it! Price could be better though

NOT waterproof
Terrible and not waterproof at all. It was smudging and under my eyes within an hour. So disappointing and it's hard for me to get into a store for a return (in store return is the only option given for this) so now I can't even get a refund for something that is unusable...

A hot mess!
This is not good!! It does not stay on your lashes. It falls off, leaving product dots on your face and under your eyes

Something changed
I used to LOVE this mascara. It beat out every high end mascara. Within the last few months, something has changed in the formula. It now burns my eyes and it stopped giving me any length or fullness.

Not Great
I think it’s the brush I don’t like, it’s pretty flimsy. The formula is okay, nothing to write home about, isn’t clumpy but it is a little too thin for my liking. Not much volumizing either

Best mascara!
I’ve been using it for years and highly recommend this mascara! Tip: curl your eyelashes before applying for maximum volume. You’ll thank me later.

Mascara Review
Although I haven't used this product in a long time, I needed new mascara and thought I would give this a try. It wasn't my usual color but I like it. I am not loving how it is sticky and clumps my eyelashes on the top lash line but it works!

Used to be great
I seen a previous review mention that it cause styes and I had the same experience I used to use this on a religious basis, but something has definitely changed with the formula. It’s also very flaky now.

I like this mascara. I wish it would be thicker and the applicator it kindof small, but it does it's job.

Caused 2 Styes – Something Changed!
This used to be a staple for me, but something must have changed with the formula. I ended up with a stye- 2x! I bought a brand new tube and developed a stye within a few days. After it cleared, I gave it another shot with another new tube, and it happened again!! I checked other reviews and saw I’m not alone - this seems to be a common reaction. Since switching to another brand, no more issues. Unfortunately, I’ll be steering clear of Maybelline from now on.

Worst mascara I have ever used
The brush and wand are terrible.
