    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! This is the best product I have bought in a long time. Although it was expensive, it was definitely worth it. Combined with Maybelline's Volume Express mascara and I have...

    I don't know what is going on. I must have gotten an "old" tube of this from Nordstrom.com. After reading 5 star after 5 star rating, I thought I'd land gold. If I could give this zero I would....

    Since I just bought my second one today, I thought I'd finally review this. I love love this mascara base. I have very wimpy asian lashes. They're ok in length but have no volume and does not hold...

    This product did not make my lashes thicker nor kept the curl. This is .another gimmick that I felt for. It dried my lashes so badly and I developed an alergy. Ladies, beware of this product, it is...

    Yes, it holds a curl, extends my lashes, doesn't make ANY mascara clump, won't smudge.....I loved it even though it was hard to remove. I've been using it for like 3 years now but I'd have to say...

    Didn't do anything for me. I tried it with Le 2 De Guerlain Mascara. Didnt make any difference. And it is so expensive. Will not buy it again.

    The reason I put no for buying again is because I'm on the fence for this one.... Although it DOES hold a curl, it falls short on another aspect: It pulls out my lashes when I remove mascara. I...

    Awesome stuff.......keeps everything in place (ie. on my lashes and not all over my face...no more raccoon eyes! Yippie!!!) Now I just have to find a moderately priced mascara to wear with it.
