LOVE IT

by Ashlee_Nicole (4 reviews)
I love this mascara. The brown black color looks really natural, and while I wouldn't recommend leaving it on for three days like they say you can, it definitely makes your lashes pop. I received a free sample of this mascara from Sephora a few months ago and have been a loyal purchaser ever since. I have the black for a really popping eye effect and the brown-black for everyday use. The lash brush on the end is also good for working out clumps- good for me since I usually end up applying makeup in the car.11/12/2007

May 17, 2008, 11:57 am This product came in a summer kit I bought. While the other products in the kit were good, this one was not. This mascara did not make any difference in my lash length. Nor did it give much colour either. The cap that covers the comb was VERY hard to remove. Combing the lashes removed some of the product too. Removal of the mascara was not as easy as the description implied. I did not like the "tube" effect. As far as lasting 3 days, it would be hard to do, especially if you wear other eye makeup. The removal of that would affect the lashes themselves. I doubt I will use this product again, one time was enough. The only pro to this product is that it did apply without clumping. But that matters little when it has no effect on the lashes as a mascara should. May 17, 2008, 11:57 am

    Not Great At All

    by Natural_Beautie (1 review)
    So i bought this from Sephora thinking it's going to be great. Not likely. It's good for lengthening lashes, but it gets flakey after a few hours. Did i mention it's a killer to take off?

March 17, 2008, 9:08 pm So i bought this from Sephora thinking it's going to be great. Not likely. It's good for lengthening lashes, but it gets flakey after a few hours. Did i mention it's a killer to take off? Once it does come off you'll find black or brown flakes(which ever the color) underneath your eyes. One more thing, after trying it a second time (just to give it the benefit of the doubt) when taking off the mascara, my lashes started to break! Talk about horrible! So get something more helpful not harmful. If your wondering what i'm using now (which is a 100% better) Dior Blackout! Wink Wink! March 17, 2008, 9:08 pm

    For Long Lasting Lashes...

January 21, 2008, 6:22 pm Publicity Stunt Lashes is a gentle, lightweight, long-wearing mascara made to be waterproof, flake-proof, smudge-proof - and really budge-proof. This mascara lasts and lasts all through the day. I find this mascara to be very similar to Prescriptives Here to Stay. The real difference is in the brush. The brush is taped in the middle with the shortest bristles there, so application is designed to help curl the lashes, especially in the inner and outer corners, while just coloring in the center of the lashes. The handle is actually a similar shaped comb that you can use to separate lashes after application, if need be. I have not used the comb, as I found the mascara to glide on and coat my lashes in just a few strokes. January 21, 2008, 6:22 pm

    Ho-hum.

    by carlyjcais (4 reviews)
    It's okay. The formula is watery-thin and definitely does not add length, volume, or curl. It will tint the lashes, if that's what you're looking for. You can build up layer upon layer of it if that's the effect you want but it flakes fast upon drying, especially the more layers you've put on there. Revlon did a better ... December 6, 2007, 10:39 pm It's okay. The formula is watery-thin and definitely does not add length, volume, or curl. It will tint the lashes, if that's what you're looking for. You can build up layer upon layer of it if that's the effect you want but it flakes fast upon drying, especially the more layers you've put on there. Revlon did a better job with their COLORSTAY mascara back from 2004. (Darn, I wish it had never been discontinued!!) LORAC's version will not withstand rubbing your eyes (which Revlon's DID) but nor will it bind with water and gum up your lashes (like Revlon's, alas). They need to offer it in more colors. The lash comb is a nice addition, but only adds to landfills when you throw away the mascara. And they need to stop with the "first-ever long-wearing mascara" promo sound byte. Do your research, people. I give it an 8 for it's tinting abilities...but a 4 for it's abilities as a mascara and the fact it only comes in black and black-brown (hello, auburn, brown, or navy??). Average: 6. December 6, 2007, 10:39 pm

I have had bad luck finding a mascara that could withstand my (bad!) habit of rubbing my eyes - and all too often would find my mirror image resembling a racoon. This product was recommended to me by a sales associate at Sephora a few weeks ago and I really like it. While it doesn't do that much as far as lengthening or thickening - it does add even, long-wearing, crisp color. Even come end of the day, my lashes look as fresh as when I applied.

    Don't believe the hype

    I had high hopes for this mascara. I mean...a mascara that stays on for three days! A mascara made of volcanic ash! How exciting! Then I bought it. I applied it. It was sticky and fiberous.

I mean...a mascara that stays on for three days! A mascara made of volcanic ash! How exciting! Then I bought it. I applied it. It was sticky and fiberous. The directions, which are long and involved, told me not to "touch my eyes with my fingers" when I washed my face (????). What a bummer. And still, even following the directions, I find these long skinny black threads like spiders legs on my face cloth. A remnant of the volcanic ash. December 23, 2007, 9:07 am

    DO NOT BUY!

    by Brenda21 (17 reviews)
    AWFUL. I loved the way it looked at first. The next day I could tell it had faded, but it was still present--at least until I took a shower. As soon as I got out, it was all down my face! Talk about false advertising. May 7, 2008, 9:39 am

    Great idea -- in theory

    by purduette (13 reviews)
    A longlasting mascara is a great idea -- in theory. But if you also wear eyeshadow and/or liner, you're going to be removing your eye makeup at night anyway. So mascara that can last for days is only really useful when, say, camping or doing something where you may wear minimal makeup and won't be removing the mascara. November 29, 2007, 10:13 am

August 2, 2008, 7:27 am I got the lash kit from sephora (a bunch of sample mascaras) and this one was in there. Since it came as a sample size, the comb did not come with it, but fortunately I have a lash comb and was glad I did. Now, this mascara went on like water and all of my lashes were together, not stuck though. I combed them out to make them uniform. I wasn't crazy about it because it didn't really thicken well, but gave my eyes a clean simple everyday look. What I was most surprised about is when I washed it off. It did not come off with my normal cleaning routine (all other brands have thus far) I actually had to pull it off of my lashes. It had created sleeves or tubes over each individual lash. This was unexpected. August 2, 2008, 7:27 am
