   I’d love to have a refund for this one.

   The good:
   – I love the brush. It’s awesome for people like me who have tiny little thin lashes. I find it to be the easiest brush to use, it perfectly separates the lashes while coating them with mascara. I love the precision and find it very easy to use;
   – It gives the blackest lashes;
   – No clumps;
   – Great volume;
   – It layers well.

   The not so good:
   – Don’t expect to get an extra length from this one.

   The ugly:
   – It flakes. Badly! But the end of the day I have many many little black dots under my eyes.

   I don’t think that flaking is acceptable for 10$ mascara, let alone something that comes at the 68$ price tag. Save your money.

   So disappointed in this one. I am normally a low-end makeup user, but decided to splurge, since mascara and bb cream are really the only 2 products I use daily. Given the previous reviews, I was expecting some seriously lush looking lashes. Instead, meh. The first day, I applied it the way I normally do my mascara: loading the roots (for a tighlined look) and brushing up, one coat. That gave me defined, darker lashes, pretty much what I’ve gotten from Maybelline’s “Define-a-Lash” at one tenth the listed price. Today, after some online research, I applied it to the tips first, then gave myself 2 coats. Now it looks like Ulta’s “Amped Lashes” only it flakes. With more on, I also seem to be a little sensitive to it (I tend to have sensitive eyes, but hoped a higer end product wouldn’t cause problems). I bought this for $40 through Jet, so at least I am not out $67, but unfortunately, can’t return it. I will use it up, and if it actually helps my lashes grow, will edit this review upwards, but for now, save your money.

   Waauwie – great mascara. Gives the most lenghty, voluminous and fluttery lashes ever. The wand may seem a bit weird at first, but once you know how to use, it is great. Adding the fact that this mascara protects and cares for the lashes, this is a top product!

   This mascara is fabulous but the pricing kills me. I unfortunately have small and deep set eyes and I use mascara in the hopes of opening my eyes and making them pop …. in terms of mascara, you name it and I have used it ….. I have found many great mascaras over the years and So Intense Mascara is in my top 3 ….. one coat gives me long lashes and looks like I have used numerous coats when I have not and two coats literally looks like I am wearing false eyelashes …. my eyelashes are dramatic, clump free and a true black color … this is the blackest mascara that I have found so far (my eyes pop and stand out.) I do hate that this product is so damn expensive, but it is so worth it to me.

   Amazing mascara! It took me a few days to get used to the wand, but otherwise perfectly perfect. Makes really very beautiful and intense lashes, don’t smudge and can be removed very easily. Separates without creating clumps or spider legs. The price is high, but you get a really outstanding product.

   This is my first review ever because this is my favorite mascara ever. It is easy to apply an the effect is awesome, it looks like I’m using fake lashes. And after some weeks I noticed that my lashes were getting thicker. It’s expensive, but my second favorite is Le volume de Chanel and it is quite expensive too and not as good, I haven’t found a good mascara that is inexpensive. For that price I would just like it to last longer.

   Wow, this is the best mascara I’ve ever used for bottom lashes (pretty amazing for top too, though!) – it lengthens, volumizes, and separates without creating clumps or spider legs. I have sparse East Asian lashes that do not look too visible on their own, and I tend to have a difficult time applying bottom lash mascara because it’s hard to maneuver the wand around without getting stained bits all over. My current routine is to use the Lancome lash primer, and then use the Sisley So Intense in 2 coats to create a gorgeous Edie Sedgwick / Twiggy esque definition to my lower lashes. It brings me drama without looking severe. I was previously using the Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl, and while that mascara was gorgeous and lengthening, it was tough to build volume and remove. Sisley So Intense provides me everything L&C gave, but is a breeze to take off while not smudging at all during the day. A must have for girls with sparse lashes or smaller eyes who want more control over the mascara wand!

   I love this mascara, even if I’m not initially someone who wears mascara. I received a sample and it took me months to try it because when you buy beauty products, you always end up with mascaras samples- I’ve lived on samples forever. But this seriously blew me away. It gives me the best curl, volumizes the roots, and lenghtens lashes like nothing else. I’ve always had problems with volumizing mascaras because they get very clumpy, but this one gives a definition and a LENGTH that I haven’t found in any other. It’s also conditioning and keeps lashes soft and supple. I will buy the full size once I run out for sure.

   I just got this a couple weeks ago in the dark brown color and I love it. I am blonde with white blonde lashes that are very long naturally. Usually brown mascaras look off with my coloring. This one is dark enough to provide the definition I want while still looking natural. The finish is natural, not shiny or too matte. Applying this takes some getting used to but if you can master it you will love it. I feed the comb right into the lashline first then direct up or diagonally if I am going for a feathered out look. This acts as sort of a tightline meaning you can skip liner if you want. Then I roll the brush up from the back of the lashes to the tips. Usually by the time I am done with my lower lashes I have a almost clean brush to go back through and groom since I am a bit persnickety about clumps. I have got a lot of complements on my eyes since picking this up and the irony is that I have been dialing my eye makeup way back preferring no liner and a bit of contour on the crease. I also find that a brighter or more red lip is not too much for my coloring when I wear this.

    I’ve never used a mascara wand like this one before. It requires a different application technique than regular mascara, which takes a bit of practice and more wait time between coats. Basically you only coat the tips of your lashes first and wait for it to dry. Then coat the rest of the lashes, wait….and then I put another bit on the ends, especially at the outer corners.

    I was shocked and impressed my first day wearing this. I got a bit of the raccoon look underneath my eyes, but even waterproof mascara (or non-budge ones) does it to me, so I didn’t mark down for it.

    I agree with the other reviewers that this is a ‘wow’ mascara for me. I wear glasses and cannot wear false eyelashes with them, but this really separates my lashes and it really is intensive. I reach for this one now over my Chanel mascara.
