   I got this in my ipsy and I love it. I used to use telescopic cuz it worked so well but it stopped working for me. This one gives me so much length which is what I was looking for. I would definitely buy it again.

   Worst mascara ever in the history of my life.

   Clumpy and then later, flaky and thanks to the flaky part, my poor eyes got irritated and sore. I have to go the doctor and get antibiotic eyedrops and can’t wear contact lenses for 2 weeks. The last time I had an eye infection was about 10 years ago and I’ve switched to dailies and have not suffered any eye woes till em cosmetics.

   All her cosmetics are really bad quality. Are they made in China in some dodgy factory?

   SERIOUSLY do NOT even bother with her eye products. I might try her lipstick next, maybe I get irritation from those and have filler-free bee-stung lips!

   I received this product in my Ipsy bag. I was excited to try something from the em line. I was not impressed this mascara. Right when I first opened it, the brush already had clumps and flakes falling off of it. I applied one coat and there were already clumps. Second coat, I couldn’t even run the brush through my lashes. My lashes had already hardened and were really sticky. At the end of the day, when I washed my makeup off large clumps of the mascara trickled down my face. It took several rinses just to get everything cleaned off. I continued to use the mascara just to give it a second (and 3rd & 4th) chance, but it just wasn’t working for me. I’m glad I received this product as a sample, as it retails for $20 on the em website. Yikes.

   one of the worst mascara I’ve used ( I have been using various make up items from various make up lines for the past 15 years).

   my lashes looked heavy with absolutely curls. after two more applications, my lashes simply clumped together. worst of all, it has a strong scent which caused me tearing.

   The formula reminds me a lot of the old maybelline colossal mascara, which is heavy and clumpy.

   I will not recommend this mascara to anybody

   I actually really like this mascara.

   I got it in my ipsy bag, so I didn’t pay for it.

   It is a really thick mascara I’ve only had it for a week but I doubt it will last any longer than a month because its so thick. It almost looks like it’s dried out already when you open it.

   But it will add crazy volume to my lashes. I’ve had a few people ask me if I’m wearing false lashes when I wear it. I apply it by wiggling the wand at the base of my lashes and then pulling up. I only apply one coat and if I get any clumps I swipe a qtip along my lashes to remove it. I like the curved wand as well.

   It doesn’t flake or smudge on me

   I wouldn’t repurchase, firstly because I live in Canada and em cosmetics are not available here. Also, there are much cheaper drugstore mascaras that work just as well for me. Essence extreme crazy volume (in the black tube) gives me the same effect and it is only $5. Also $20 US is steep for a mascara that will only last a month.

   I have tried to give this mascara a few chances, but it really is awful. Luckily I got it in my ipsy bag and did not pay full-price for it. The first layer goes on okay, but if you go over any area more than once, it. immediately clumps. Then, when I tried to comb through the clumps, it makes all of my lashes stick together into spidery spikes. As other reviewers have noted, it is also waterproof and difficult to remove. I would definitely not go out and purchase this product after using the tester.

   I can’t say I’ve had much luck with em cosmetics. I agree completely with the review below – this just gave me spidery looking lashes. It adds no volume like it claims. I’ve been testing this out for about a week or so and really there is nothing that can be done to fix the problems it creates in the first place. With one or two coats lashes become heavy, clumpy and gross. It feels sticky which it weird because I’ve never had a mascara feel this way. When I tried to comb through my lashes, my lashes stuck together even more into separate points. Very unattractive to say the least.

   It is very uncomfortable to wear, like you can feel it is on. It also flaked a lot and I had to use a q-tip 3 times in an 8-hour period to remove the flakes that had collected underneath my eyes. By the time I was ready to leave work, my eyes itched. I removed this with an oil-based make-up remover and a lot of my lashes fell out. When I showered that night I still had raccoon eyes. 2 days later my eyes still stung. I tried this on a few separate occasions but it was just awful each time – zero volume, no length, nothing. It looks very ugly on – like thick wax just sitting there but not accomplishing anything. I can’t get past the uncomfortable feel either, heavy with non-stop flaking. It flakes so much you would think it might be easier to remove – but no.

   I am SO glad I didn’t pay for this or I’d be a lot more annoyed. I tossed this because it’s just nasty.

   This is the worst mascara I have tried in recent memory. I received this in my November Ipsy bag and I am glad I didn’t pay full price for it.

   The brush is slightly curved and moderately packed with plastic bristles that are very soft and pliable. The black shade is reasonably dark but I had to comb it through my lashes several times to notice much of a volumizing effect. It felt rather sticky going on and my lashes clumped together. It didn’t seem to add any length or curl. When the mascara dried my eyes were very uncomfortable. My lashes felt heavy and stiff as if I was wearing falsies but unfortunately they didn’t appear that way.

   I didn’t realize this was waterproof until I tried to remove it with my Shu Uemura cleansing oil. It wouldn’t dissolve very well so I moved onto my usual facial cleanser. It basically just came off in hard clumps which got into my eyes and irritated them. Not a pleasant experience! Needless to say this went directly into the trash.

   Retails for $20 US / 7ml 0.236 fl. oz.
