    Based on its claims to provide extreme volume/length/curl, I was disappointed, especially given the price. If your lashes work great with non-WP mascaras, this could be an option for you. Otherwise...

    I'm really surprised by the number of negative reviews for this product...I'm guessing that a number of people may feel a little put out by the price and therefore more likely to judge harshly,...

    The extragavant non-WP alternative to other Shu mascaras. This is the DiorShow of the brand. The tube is bigger, the wand is bigger and, yes, the lashes do get bigger as well. They lenghten out...

    I normally love shu products but boy was I disappointed with this one. Clumps galore! Returned after 1 use. Will not repurchase.

    I'm not feeling the love for this mascara at all. I'll start by prefacing my comments with this : - I may have a bad/old tube of it. Reading the other reviews it doesn't sound like we're using...

    At first, this mascara disappointed me a bit.. Especially after buying it on a whim. This mascara clumps... a lot, but if you get the hang of it, clumps aren't really a big problem. It flakes a...

    I am a big fan of shu products, most of them are excellent quality, but I was not overly impressed w/this mascara. It works fine, thickens and lenghtens well but w/a clump or two. No more...

    I was using the Shu's Precise Volume mascara which is a nice light mascara that only added curl to my lashes. I have sparse, straight asian lashes so I always use a waterproof formula to help with...

    If I could give this a more specific rating, it would probably be a 4.5. To clarify, I really am currently in love with this mascara but am not quite sure if it is, well, a lasting love. Ultimate...

    I searched high and low for a mascara that won't smudge, keep my lashes curled and adds volume. I finally found it! :) I'm asian and have tiny lashes and my face tends to get oily. All the other...

    It's alright, but not the "ultimate" in mascaras. I put it on side by side with Diorshow, and the Shu was fairly similar in color and the lengthening/volumizing effect. However, the brush for the...

    Don't get me wrong. This mascara definitely provides some heavy definition to the lashes but I feel like it dries mine out. My lashes were way too crinkly and crunchy. Will not repurchase. ...

    I was very pleased with this at first, despite its expense. It made my short lashes look better - I bought it at Space NK. HOWEVER, it really does smudge quite quickly despite all my best efforts...

    Used twice; sent back. It doesn't hold the curl in your lashes. I'll be going back to Shu Precise Volume.
