Decent Mascara

The brush is the highlight of the mascara, as even the tip has bristles to coat and cover every single lash. I found this to be smudge-proof and flake-proof, but I didn't have "new" lashes. They were slightly lengthened and volume increased a smidge. This is a good--not great--mascara.

Horrible....

The packaging on this has changed to a purple and black tube but I'm sure it's still the same mascara because of the name. I only bought this since Promise Phan on YouTube mentioned this once that she likes it for her lashes and since I figured she's Asian she might have the same lashes as me. This mascara literally did nothing for my lashes except poke my eye. The bristles on this is super spiky ...read morelike the Benefit They're Real brush and every time I apply this, my eyes would tear up even if I'm trying to be gentle. The formula on this is too thin and not really good for lengthening, thickening, or separating. The only good thing I can say about this is that it doesn't clump but that doesn't help me much when it doesn't hold a curl or do anything for my straight lashes. Returned this right away.

Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara

This mascar gave me a really great dramatic finish. It made my eyelashes incredibly long and lush, moreso than any other mascara I have ever used. It didn't clump when I applied it, the brush is great at distributing the product through your lashes. It didn't flake or smudge afetr hours of wear. it almost made it look like I had applied false eye lashes. It held a curl really well and the for...read moremula didn't weigh my lashes down. I removed really easy with eye makeup remover, no pulling on the tender eye area, and it comes in a wide array of colors to suit any mood or any look. I have paid double the price for a far less performing mascara, and a tube of this will always be in my train case, it rocks!

Lightweight Definition

Lightweight but volumizing & lengthening. Does not curl or hold a curl after curling straight lashes but it's great if you apply this first then curl your lashes. Since it's lightweight it doesn't clump. Does not give the most dramatic lashes but it gives nice natural definition.

Decent mascara

I got this for 5 dollars (Urban Decay was having an online sale), and since they were selling it for 15 dollars off the normal retail price, I wasn't expecting much. First of all, this is the BIGGEST, most dense mascara wand I've ever seen in my entire life, and that intimidated me at first. The wand itself is actually really use given its size. The mascara itself is pretty good. It's a lightweigh...read moret, more wet formula, and it REALLY defines your lashes and makes it look like your lashes are amazing naturally. It doesn't clump at ALL, which is another plus. It's extremely easy to get off, but it doesn't flake. As for the volumizing and lengthening factors, it's not the best mascara I've ever tried, but it does give your lashes a pretty, natural looking finish. It doesn't hold a candle to L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black, in terms of drama. It does "fatten" your lashes and make them look longer, but not to the point of looking like you have fake lashes on. The only problem I have with the actual formula is that it doesn't hold a curl at ALL. You have to put the mascara on before you curl it, and that subjects ANY mascara to clumping. It does take awhile to dry, but that doesn't really bother me at all. The packaging is absolutely adorable, and you really do get a lot of product in the tube. I probably won't repurchase this at their retail price, because there are better drugstore mascaras out there, but I do like it and I'll use it up. If you're looking for a less dramatic daytime mascara, this should be good for you.

Lumps and Clumps

This product has been repackaged since they first released the original 70's floral print. It now comes in a black and silver geometric tube with purple print. The formula of this product is fine, if used with a different brush. The brush that comes in the tube is a spiked, plastic, large wand. The problem here is, the spikes are too deep and carry FAR too much product. Even if you wipe and wipe a...read moreway the excess, you end up with clumpy, heavy lashes. If you're the type of girl that's looking for chunky, thick lashes, this product may be just the thing you need in your regime. However, if you're at all like me and like separated, defined lashes that looks naturally wispy, this is NOT the mascara for you.

Big Fatty Mascara

This is by far, the BEST mascara I've ever used. Being 48, it seemed I could no longer find a mascara that lengthened or plumped up my lashes until by chance I found this product. I use it faithfully.

Wow

I have short sparse lashes that don't really want to curl. With this mascara, it thickens them and makes it seem more full. I love the look, but I do take a separating mascara afterwards because I was warned by the salesperson that this mascara can clump easily if you put on too much. The brush is on the big size, but it is easy to control and the formula is lightweight.
