I am really impressed with this! It is a true black colour and really gives my lashes volume and a bit of length after one coat. It doesn't smudge or flake off in the day nor does it irritate my eyes like I find a lot of mascaras do, especially by the end of the day. the brush separates my lashes really well without clumping. I will definitely buy again

I thought I’d enjoy this but it didn’t live up to the hype at all. It did nothing special to my lashes and I had a better effect from my max factor mascara.

Finally a masquara I love from the very first use! Normally I like my mascaras after a few uses as they all start off too wet and need to dry out a bit to stop over coating and clogging but this one is perfect from the word go. The colour is a deep dark and intense black and really makes my eyes pop out. I have long lashes anyway so this makes them look showstopping. The large brush lifts and separates each lash and gave awesome volume which lasted all day with no flakes, clumps or smudges. No irritation and no problem to remove without rubbing. A great mascara and reasonably priced. Love it ❤️

It’s a nice mascara that coats lashes well. I didn’t think it did anything amazing in terms of thickening or lengthening and I think there are cheaper mascaras that do more (Maybelline the falsies!). I did find that by mid afternoon I had some smudging when I used it on my lower lashes. It’s nice and black and it doesn’t flake. It also has a really good thick bristle brush which I like. It’s a perfectly ok marcara but for me it’s not a memorable one!

This is a great mascara. Builds length and volume, is a very intense black and lasts all day without flaking. I have no difficulty in removing it with my oil cleanser either. I love the super large brush that separates and lifts my lashes and they don’t drop throughout the day. My favourite thing about this though is that it is not an extremely wet formula and it is one of the few mascaras that I don’t get all over my lids during application. One of the best I have tried and at a fair price.

I like this mascara. It's buildable without clumping, jet black in colour and doesn't smudge. It thickens and lengthens giving much fuller lashes in one to two coats. I like the bigger bristle brush and the amount of product that comes off the wand. It creates volume and gives length at the same time so no need for falsies with this on! I also like how easy it is to remove without taking your own lashes with it. A great mascara that can be taken from natural everyday to full glam in just one extra coat! It's a great all rounder and I would purchase again for sure!

LOVE this product! I've watery eyes and struggle finding mascara that doesn't run or flake off - not this one! Makes lashes longer and stays put all day. Firm fave.

I have been using this mascara for almost a week now. At first, I wasn't too sure but it is buildable! I love how much of a true black it is and how it lasts all day without smudging. I personally prefer to use it on my lower lashes when I am wearing false lashes on top, to complete the look. For a more subtle false lash free day I have been enjoying using it too but if I want something a little more dramatic, I would still turn to my Lash Paradise Mascara overall. I would definitely recommend this if you wear lashes or are looking for something subtle but also buildable.

I was a bit worried initially about the size of the large brush as all brands seem to have made their wands smaller, thinner and plastic bristled over the last few years. However after a weeks trial I have welcomed the large original bristle brush back with open arms. It gives heaps of volume, lengthens, separates and is a solid jet black. One coats enough but two gave a fab false lash effect. I wear my mascara for around 12 hrs and it looks no different by end of play, easily removeable and doesn't irritate my contacts. Its taken practice on my lower lashes but is well worth the result.
