I received this as part of Sephora's Beauty Insider Birthday gift. I actually liked the shape of the wand, as I found it helpful coating all my lashes. It is quite bulky, and a tad awkward to use....

I too got this from Sephora in my birthday gift. The dramatically shaped wand works nicely and I liked the way the mascara looked on my upper lashes (I don't wear it on the bottom). But after only...

I too got this as a birthday goodie from Sephora. I used it for the first time this morning and have to admit that I was taken aback at the sight of the wand. I hadn’t read the reviews before...

I got this as the Sephora birthday freebie. I was not expecting to like this mascara as I ONLY wear waterproof mascara. I have very heavy/thick long eyelashes and normal mascara tends to make me...

Flakes off, even in the waterproof version (I tried both)! Disappointing because it would be great otherwise.

Edit: Ok I actually tried this again and I like it. It gives great volume and really good length, it's easy to layer which is important to me. Oddly, I don't like this on my bottom lashes.. it just...

I hated the wand on this mascara! It is thick on one end and narrow on the other and very awkward to use. Plus the formula irritated my eyes.

I received a sample of this mascara at sephora for my birthday. I was turned off by the wand at first, but happy it wasn't a plastic wand. I received so many compliments that day, the mascara held...

I got this mascara as the Sephora Birthday gift, and at first I really liked it. However, about an hour after I put it on, my husband asked me if I had been crying. I went and looked in the...

Why the negative reviews? This mascara is great! The wand is enormous, but the tapered tip makes it pretty easy to get into corners. This gives me big, LONG lashes with a dramatic look, which I...

I got a sample of this from Sephora and I was skeptical because of the strange wand, but it ended up being amazing. I usually use Clinique High Impact and have re-purchased that several times, but...

I also got this in my Sephora bday gift, and I was glad it was free. I paired it with my Dior primer so it didn't flake nor smudge but all the same on my other eye I topped with my Loreal Butterfly...

I got this mascara as a part of my sephora VIBROUGE gift. It came with a lipstick and eyeliner from the same company. At first I was shocked by the size of the mascara brush... It was huge! But...

I really don't like this mascara. The first time I used this, it gave me a fluttery, pretty look with a bit of length and volume and fairly seperated lashes. However, it smudged. Also, after that...

I natural have long eyelashes, but like most Asians, they grow straight down. Therefore, my main wish with a mascara is to have them hold a curl. This mascara was great since I was out from 8 AM to...

I'm a bit of a mascara junkie. Got a sample size of this over the weekend and was eager to try it. It's a nice formulation, not too thick or thin and I like how it darkens, thickens and lengthens...
