PROMISING REVIEW
"I have been using ONLY this mascara for about two years. Every once in a while, I cave and buy a drugstore mascara and there is NO comparison. This is so easy to apply, and in seconds you have gorgeous long lashes. It does not clump. It does not smudge. It comes off with a warm washcloth in the shower the next morning. It is the only mascara I will use."

PROMISING REVIEW
"I have always been a Maybelline girl, but I think I have jumped boat. This mascara is easy to apply, doesn't clump, looks good all day, makes my lashes look thicker, and washes off easily with soap and water. Even though it is washable, it does not smudge throughout the day. When I wash my face at night, my eyelashes look just as good as they did when I put it on. LOVE!"
