description

Flaunt bigger-than-life lashes when you brush on this mascara from YSL. This non-drying formula is enriched with B5 pro-vitamin, which deepens, darkens, and leaves lashes look instantly thicker. The nylon fiber brush builds luscious volume, coating lashes from root to tip for a bold false-lash look.

I took one lippie off because it does indeed dry up quickly, but otherwise this is the best mascara I have used. This is the only product that has ever had people complementing my lashes. I don't...

This is a complete waste of money - I have never, ever used a mascara that dries up so quickly - I literally got 10 days use out of it and then gave up as it had dired out too much and became cakey.

A very good mascara who also has a lovely smell. It really gave my eyelashes a bambi-effect like we say here. I really recommend this one, its one of my favourites. It removes also very well....

No clumps. Smells lovely. Makes my long lashes mega long, as in when I open my eyes wide, the ends of my eyelashes touch my eyebrows.

I thought paying over $20 was crazy for a mascara since you replace them often. However, I had an urge to splurge, so I decided on Faux Cils. My god, Im blown away. Generally it takes so many coats...

Ever since i started using this, I never want to switch again. I am using my 7th or 8th tube now. It is by far the best for me. I love it. It gives a false lash look with out using it 3-4 times....

This is a nice mascara, and I do like it, but I would not buy it again. It is lovely on the lashes, it fans them out nicely, and the best part of it is that it does not make your lashes stiff and...
