This mascara is superb! It works better than most of the premium brand mascaras I have tried and lasts all day. I have long lashes, but they’re blond so mascara is a must for me. Unless it’s waterproof most mascara gives me raccoon eyes because my lashes touch my lids. This mascara stays on all day -I’m a surgical nurse so I’m wearing a mask and goggles most of the day so I need mascara that lasts- but comes off easily with soap and water.

Thank you very much. The replacements are all perfect!

What a huge disappointment. This mascara has been my holy grail for the last seven years! It never gave me raccoon eyes, never flaked, never clumped. It would only come off with warm water, and it never damaged my lashes. You could have it on for two days while you camped and it would look like you just applied it. Well, I got my subscribe and save order three days ago after being out for a week, and I was excited! Yesterday, my right eye began to immediately water as though something was in it. Then it started burning. Then the left eye felt irritated. Maybe allergies? Maybe I had just messed up and put it in my eye somehow??? Idk. Couldn’t be my mascara, my dearest and oldest makeup friend. Right? Wrong! after applying today, like I’m talking immediately after, my eyes started burning and itching. I can barely hold them open. I have to leave the house in 20 minutes and don’t have time to remove my entire face and start over again. I’m so annoyed. Wtf are you doing, Elizabeth Mott? You had THEE perfect mascara. Now it feels like an assault on my eyes!!! My left eye was already kind of sore from yesterday, I am beyond devastated. Outside of the irritant, the formula sucks now. It isn’t buildable at all. If you used this product before, the formula was very visually identifiable— it had substance to it. Now it’s liquid thin and has a different sheen. Huge waste of money if you were loyal to the old formula the same way I was. Very disappointing. :(

UpdateOk so the last few I have gotten have been good and this mascara (if you get a good tube) is really that good that I will continue to buy. The good reviews really are because it gives them really good lengthening for those of us with almost nonexistent lashes and yet is also really wearable long-lasting and doesn't flake or smudge so you can wear it all day and night. Especially now that price is more reasonable. Don't believe the reviews that say it doesn't work- what they may not be understanding is you have to layer this on several times (like 25 swipes) "before" it dries- it will build!! It does lengthen more than volumize but it does volumize. Does not smudge or flake- I have oily skin an every other mascara does- can't see how anyone could get this to flake- maybe they are rubbing their eyes or about one of those clumpy dried out tubes that were a bigger problem in 2015 . I swim in this mascara and it looks perfect afterwards!U pdate: they must have transferred manufacturing to China or wherever it was being manufactured just isnt doing the same QC. :( the last several I have purchased have been dry and clumping. It used to be wet and you could build and build without clumps. Now it doesn't matter how careful I am it clumps and sticks and looks like Tammy Faye baker. :( very disappointed. The first two tubes I got were great. The last SEVERAL have been bad- yes I figured maybe I was just getting the random bad tube. I didn't want to believe the great mascara I had found was gone forever. But alas no tubes have had that initial glide and wet clump free lengthening.Original: I have tried dozens of mascaras - I have been on a quest for one that doesn't clump, doesn't make raccoon eyes and yet can build up my short blond lashes and create big black lashes. This is the best mascara ever! It has a wet kind of gel quality that builds and doesn't dry too fast so that you can build up volume and length. It doesn't flake or smudge. I won't be buying anything else. The only thing close is IT mascara which is a close second, but I like this one better. I have tried maybelline (all), cover girl (all), Dior, Lancôme, benefit bad gal, rimmel, tarte, - these all ended up flaky or caused black under eye smudges by the end of the day.

I don't know how so many people love this, maybe my chemistry is just different. But this stuff was quite flakey and dry, it sprinkled on my face throughout the day. Then the next morning, even though I washed it off the night before, I had racoon eyes! Not for me!
