    Great for those who are crazy for long "tarantula" lashes! Very black; the applicator is a bit odd and if you don't take care, it does stick lashes one to another; so I think I'll use only the base...

    What a waste of money. The mascara "comb" is just useless - I wound up with a serious case of tarantula-leg lashes, even after several attempts to make it work for me. Ir's gummy, gloppy, and...

    It wasn't a horrible product, but it definitely wasn't the best. I think that if the white primer stuff was a clear formula, it'd make the product so much better. You end up having to use tons of...

    I guess I'm one of the few that actually really loves this mascara. The wet formula helps it cover the lashes better and the blackness of the mascara is unparalleled IMO. They could definitely...

    Well, I'll try anything once. This wasn't the soul-offending catastrophe some reviewers have described, but it sure isn't my HG mascara. I like the wetter formula, and the primer seems to work...

    Just awful - makes a clumpy, gummy mess. I know some people managed to salvage their tube after some trial and error, but I don't have the time or inclination to experiment with something that...

    Well I love it! It's good if you're going for a dramatic '60s-esque look. The price is reasonable as well. It does clump but that's what eyelash combs are for. The blackening comb is a bit odd but...

    What a waste of my time. I always like to try L'oreal's mascara so when I saw a coupon in last Sunday's paper and also saw Target had it on sale, I bought one. Step one involves white-out looking...

    okay I had to go and try this and must say that I hated it at first. As other reviewers mention please let the primer dry and brush lashes out before applying the top coat. End result nice long...

    Wow. Guess I'm in the minority here, too. I totally loved this stuff. Yeah, I did have to get the hang of it. I blot off some of the excess before I apply the mascara. I don't wait too long...

    Okay, first time I tried this mascara I was totally Tammy Faye Baker. The second time, hot model with huge lashes. Maybe not the hot model part but I felt like it! It definitely is tricky to get...

    Well, I am in the minority here. Yes, if you overdo it, it looks icky. It clumps and makes weird lash spikes. It's better to use a separate comb to get out any big clumps. All in all, it's...

    It's my fault. My own damn fault. I spent a good 2 hours (my first visit, BTW), on MUA pouring over mascara reviews, to help me decide upon my next mascara purchase. I haven't historically been...

    It worked fine for me. For the record, I let the basecoat dry before using the actual mascara, then I gently separated my lashes with a lashcomb. The end result is more of a dramatic look. Perhaps...

    Awful. Just awful. The primer is very nice, but the brush for the mascara just makes the lashes clump up. At first I thought maybe I had to much mascara on the brush, but no. It's the brush. It...

    I was looking for something to give me nice, thick lashes. What I got was tar. This is hands down the worst mascara I have ever used. Save your money.
