After reading the other reviews here, I almost feel like I got a bad tube of this mascara! Mine flakes off worse than anything else I've used in a very long time. I thought I did my research,...

The only mascara I buy. Love it! Stays on, doesn't smudge and is priced nice. Good stuff!

This review is for the regular waterproof Volum Express in the light blue tube. This has been my HG mascara for at least six months now. I believe I am on my fourth tube. The brush is the...

This is the 5X version. I bought this using a BOGO in CVS. I want to take it back. I guess I was looking for something with a little more thickness. I applied two coats of this and had to go over...

Before I get into my review, I'm going to have to preface it with my mascara routine and approach, as I am *not* the person who can just apply mascara and go. I have short, straight Asian lashes...

Horrible for people who get oilier eyelids midday. (I am Asian, and generally have oily skin) I put this on last night at 8PM at work because they were on sale for a 2 for 1 deal at Walmart, and...

Love it ! I did try other expensive brands and always had to come back to this one. It does what it has been named and also keeps my lashes up all day. It does flake but that's not a big deal for...

Generally, this is a great mascara for the price. Volume: Definitely lives up to its name there. Clumping is minimal, but happens occasionally. It definitely makes my lashes look a lot thicker...

Flakes after a couple hours. Smudges a bit too. It holds a curl well and volumizes fine for a WP mascara but I won't repurchase.

I have itty-bitty Asian eyelashes, the kind that won't hold curl and are just generally a pain in the ass, but this is the ONLY drugstore mascara that has worked for me! I normally use Shu...

I don't understand the rave over this mascara that I read about on beauty forums. It is VERY flaky and a bit clumpy as well. It does volumize, but what's the point with all the flake? :-/

I got the Volume 3X version, waterproof. If you want a lot of volume, this really will not do it. Gives some volume, but I think there is better out there. For this I take off one...

It builds awesome volume as it claims, but you get a bonus, it lengthens quite a bit too!! This is hands down one of my favorite mascaras. The formula is a little on the dry side but the great...

Excellent formula, doesn't flake or smudge until I take it off with baby oil at night. Sometimes clumpy, especially while applying in the inner and outer eye corners. I fix this by wiping the tip...

Nothing special. The mascara was dry for me... gave me some clumping. It fullfilled the basic function of a mascara and make my lashes thicker and more visible. But it came with the problems...

Oooh, I really didn't like this one. As waterproof goes, this one does well enough. That might be about the only thing I liked ... I prefer mascaras that go on fairly dry. Volum Express is wet,...
