Like many have said, the formula for this mascara is VERY dry. Think just barely wetter than NYX 1000 Miles Long Lashes (if you've ever tried it), so if you don't like dry formula mascaras, then...

Very dry. Clumpy. Unnatural looking. Don't waste your money! Edit: I spoke too soon. It works but you'll have to add a bit of moisture to the formula. The wand is also crappy as theres a huge...

at first the formula was a bit dry, so i added a couple drops of saline solution (my eye doc said this was ok, but always make sure it it doesn't change smell overtime) and then this worked...

It clumps easily, and the mascara bits fall of your eylashes and end up on your cheeks. So you look like you have little black dots all over your cheeks. Horribleeeeee.

I don't know if I'm getting an old batch or what but I have tried this mascara TWICE and both times it was very dry and clumpy from the get-go. It's so cheap that I just bought it ($1.50 on...

It did curl, but it also clumped a bit. What I like about this mascara is that it has the mica in it that makes it glitter.

I found that this mascara was ridiculously clumpy. When the first one was super clumpy, I decided to go buy another one. Then that one was clumpy. Even though it barely costs anything, I'd never...

On one hand, this mascara is super cheap, doesn't clump, and gives the slightest of boosts to my pale, almost-nonexistent lashes. On the other, it made my eyelashes look grey. Not pearlized. Not...

I love this mascara and I have used everything and have been searching for my HG mascara. I have used super expensive to the cheapest available. I did the one eye test the other day and put this...

The ONLY curling mascara I've tried that actually curls, noticeably! I tried one eye with this, and compared it to the other eye's lashes, and it looks like I curled them with an eyelash curler,...

This mascara is fabulous! My lashes looked longer and curlier right after I applied. Gives you a sexy, bright-eyed look. Easy to use, easy to wash off, and dirt cheap! I'd recommend this mascara...

Really not bad. In fact, much better than I thought it would be. Very minimal irritation (possibly none since I tested this out when my seasonal allergies were acting up a bit so not sure if it was...

Meijer had a new NYC display of new products for 2005 which was intriguing by itself. This mascara caught my eye..the whole "pearlized" black thing did anyways. They had this out during the...
