Good product. I love it

I usually wear Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara but it is super expensive. So I decided to take a chance and go with this, I figure with the price I couldn't go wrong. I was blown away by it. To me it is even better than Too Faced. If you love thick, full lashes that could pass for false lashes then this is the one for you.

I tried this product after seeing some reviews or it working miracles. Lol. However, the formula is too wet for my straight lashes and causes them to become pin straight no matter how much time I spend curling them and carefully applying the product.If you don’t have stubborn, straight eyelashes like I do, then you will probably like this product.

Pros: I look for fast thick one coat application and a curl that stays up - I have stiff lashes. This will hold a curl even without curling lashes first. No shrinking later.Cons: Harder to remove...I prefer just water and soap removal but this requires more...I have oily skin and it DOES smudge under eyes. :(UPDATE: last few orders were dried up in tube :(

This stuff is actually pretty amazing! I’m picky with my makeup and this made the cut! I wouldn’t say it curls my eyelashes, I use an eyelash curler but this does help to hold the curl. It lasts all day and when I sleep in it it’s still in place in the morning. It seems to be just as good as a high end mascara!

Hands down my favorite mascara. I've tried far more expensive brands like benefit, tarte, eyeko, ect. None are nearly as great as this one. It's easy to apply and it keeps my stick straight lashes curled. It lasts all day. It does smudge a little but for $5 it's totally worth it. Also I just use water and my microfiber wash cloth to remove. Super easy!

I was disappointed with this mascara. I curled my lashes like I normally do, applied the Curl and Hold mascara but it didn't hold the curl of my lashes! My lashes went straight like I had applied water to them.

I love this brand, I've tried 5 other variations of their mascara. You really can't beat the price and it's good quality. However this one is the exception. My first one I got was brand new, still in the plastic so I know it couldn't have been opened but it was super thick and clumpy like old mascara. I did an even exchange thinking it had to be a fluke...nope second one was the same. I put a little water in it and it's better. I gave it 2 stars for being pretty good after thinning it out.
