    The name speaks volumes!! This mascara is shocking - and not in a good way!!! It completely overloads the brush so you end up with huge clumps that not even an eyelash comb can sort!! So...

    Lets start with the smell here. Horrid!! Smells like they dumped a bottle of rose perfume in the mascara tube. The formula is super creamy....so creamy that it clumps your lashes. After a month i...

    I have a hate/love relationship with this mascara. As others have noted - it does have a weird smell which irritates me in comparison to other mascaras I have (dior no smell at all). It...

    I absolutely LOVE this mascara. I discovered it a few days ago. I used to use Too Faced Lash Injection, which they "re-vamped," and i did not like the new one at all. I am surprised to see bad...

    Like movie sequals, makeup sequals never seem to be as good as the original. In a huge mascara phase right now. I would consider buying this again if it did not flake so much and didn't dry out...

    Yes because there is no "maybe" on here. I love my faux effet cils in #5 or burgundy. I can wear it without having an issue now. I bought the "shocking" to deal with what I needed right then...

    I liked this mascara. It really lengthened my lashes. Not much volume but pretty nice. My problem was with the flaking. Maybe I had a defective bottle, but 15 minutes after applying It had rained...

    Faux Cils original is better. As others have written, this is very wet, takes a good while to dry in between layering and layering, and it is impossible to get off. Next morning, there is...

    I got this as a gift, I definitely wouldn't buy it myself because of the price. The packaging is absolutely beautiful but the mascara is hard to work with. For me, the formula is too thick and to...

    I only used the mini GWP size. It is so far away from the original Faux Cils Mascara, more fluid. It even does not give volume as the name suggests.

    I really like this mascara, and it smells like roses! It can be a little clumpy but is easily fixable with a lash wand. I prefer super volume and this delivers! Lovely gold packaging. A tad...

    Nice brush that separates lashes while giving lots of non-clumpy volume. I like how it defines each lash with a thick but believable coat of deep black, and I like its perfect, neither too wet nor...

    Yes, this does leave lashes clumpy, but for me, it makes lashes appear thicker, so I have learned to work with it. It is a very wet mascara.

    I liked the idea of the YSL's favorite mascara coming out in an even more dramatic version. But this one is not as good as the classic YSL Faux Cils. It does deliver a dramatic result when it's...

    Ok, so if you want pretty, fluttery lashes then this mascara is NOT for you. It is super thick and yes, can cause clumps. But it makes my lashes thicker and blacker than any other mascara. I love...

    Unfortunately, this new version of the faux cils does not compare with the first one. It only takes one swipe and you have clumps all over your lashes. Not only it clumps, but it also falls out A...
