I think this is good basic mascara. The formula itself is nice and gives me good length and some volume. Does not irritate my sensitive eyes, lasts all day without smudging and is easy to remove....

I wouldn't recommend this mascara, the packaging is so pretty and it's affordable. However, It insanely irritated my eyes!! I don't have sensitive eyes and have never had a reaction to mascara...

This mascara is so heavily scented it irritates my eyes (they're not even sensitive). I don't understand why a mascara has to smell like heavy perfume, why, WHY, Maybelline?! It's a shame because...

This may be the single worst mascara available. A gloopy, clumping mess on the first swipe - had to spooly that out for what seemed like forever to get rid of the clumps. And then it smudged all...

I wanted to love this since it’s the same as the full and soft. But I just can’t because it smudges. It does everything else a mascara should do except it also smudges! I’ve tried all sorts of...

I most consistently use L'Oreal Voluminous mascara, but occasionally try different brands/formulas, and this was a recent try. It is perfectly fine and does what one would want mascara to do:...

Generally, I like this mascara. It gives volume but with a softer, natural look, which I like for everyday. My issue is that I wear glasses and this mascara smudges on my glasses.. I've tried the...

If I could give this 2.5 stars, I would. It's not awful, but really is NOT great either. I got this mascara as part of a Target beauty box and had high hopes for it, as I like a volumizing formula...

My high-end mascara was irritating my eyes, and I decided to grab a new mascara while I was at the drugstore buying allergy eye drops. I picked this up in kind of a hurry, and nearly returned it...

I figured I’d try this mascara since it had a brown shade, and actual brown (not black brown) mascaras are hard to find at the drugstore. I’m not a fan but it’s okay, I’d even go as far as to say...

Urgh, I rarely give negative reviews but this stuff is horrible. I've bought $3 Daiso mascaras that are ten times better than this! The formula is totally clumpy and very wet. The end of the brush...

For quite some time this used to be my favorite drugstore mascara. Even today, it still is so much better than some of the high-end "volumizing" formulas out there. This mascara felt quite creamy...

Not super remarkable but not awful, either. Added a minimal amount of volume though I would have liked a little more separation. Seemed to wear decently throughout the day.

This is like the worst mascara I've used in a long time. Wow! Terrible . I have naturally very long lashes and this does nothing for them besides adding chunks and making them look like spider legs...
