This is one of the better mascaras I've tried. I won't say it's my favorite or "HG" just yet, but I'll update later on. It doesn't do TONS for volume, but it definitely give my lashes some oomph....

Lengthens slightly, and volumizes alot. I LOVE IT if not for the fact that it smudged on me. Curl could not be held throughout the day.

Once upon a time, I was on my way to a blind date when--shock and horror!-- I discovered that I had forgotten to a) apply any mascara or b) bring it with me in my purse. I began to panic but was...

This mascara flakes terribly on me. It did make my lashes look thicker at the base but did not do anything for length, so I had short, stubby lashes. I only bought this because I couldn't find...

I liked how it thickened my lashes, but I found that it took forever to dry and smeared quite a bit.

I do not know why they call this "Volum" express. It is very average at the least and does not add much volume in any aspect at all to your lashes. In fact, I find that it just wieghs them down.

This was just an average mascara. It didn't really thicken or lengthen or curl. So I won't repurchase

Incredibly clumpy and wet. More than one stroke of this stuff and my lashes stuck together and looked like I had slept in my make-up and then gotten caught in a rainstorm.

This is my favorite mascara by far. To optimize its usage, I first curl my lashes and then apply the white half of the XXL mascara. Then, I apply this. The result is voluminous, long, dark defined...

This mascara gives me full shiny inky black lashes, without much smearing by the end of the day. Whenever this goes on sale I pick some up.

I used to think this mascara was crap, turned out it was just really hard to use. it clumps easy if you arnt careful. the results are like maybelline full n soft, but harder to achieve.

I bought this when I couldn't find Lash Expansion. It is clumpier than Lash Expansion which I fear has been discontinued.

After a few hours it flakes and gets into my eyes. It burns, it hurts, it makes me cranky.
