    Wanted to love this, but ended up swapping these away. I have long lashes to begin with, and even with using a lash comb after applying this, it was clump city. Lashes also became very crunchy...

    I love this. I have straight lashes that refused to hold a curl, until I tried this. Used alone, they make my lashes look better than any mascara that I've tried (though I haven't tried that...

    I first learned about this product when I trained with a Smashbox makeup artist. She told me to always use a mascara base/primer before mascara to prevent breakage and damage. Basically it's just...

    I'm very thankful to have this product!!!! I found out about it on this site and I'm very impressed. I feel cheated lash-wise because they're short and sparse, but shiseido has changed my beauty...

    This is a truly awesome primer for mascara. In Australia its AUD43 from Myer. So its very very pricey. It makes the most lack lustre mascara into something decent. It really does thicken lashes so...

    Love this! Gives my sparse medium length lashes oomph w/ Diorshow or YSL Faux Cils (better fullness/length w/ this) and keeps my mascara from smudging. I usually have racoon eyes by midday because...

    I bought this product based on tons of positive reviews on MUA and I have to say I agree with them all. I held out for awhile for the price - but I think a smudge-free existance is worth it. I...

    This stuff is great. I use it under Diorshow unlimited. My eyelashes are sorta long, but thin. The primer makes it so that I dont even need to curl them. Great product!
