Adorable

but not effective as a mascara. Even though it has a nice price tag I could not recommend this product. It gave me raccoon eyes within an hour! — 1 year, 6 months ago

Ick!!

I wish I hadn't bought this. It didn't lengthen at all...it just clumped on my lashes. It was hard to apply because it dried out so fast. I really wasn't a fan of the brush either. After about two hours I ended up with flakes all over my face. — 2 years, 4 months ago

Physicians Formula does make some fantastic make up products, but this one unfortunately should not have made it out of the lab! A complete fast-drying, clumpy, flakey mess! Let's send it back for an upgrade, ok? — 9 months, 1 week ago

I was mislead by the cute container as well.......the mascara was completely dried out. I was disappointed expecting the look of falsies..........I returned the product the next day......Good thing I had my receipt, the associate at the store thought I had purchased it months ago..........needless to say when I was finished with the "manager" the product was no longer on the shelves!!!!!!!!!!! — 1 year, 12 months ago

Hate it
Blahhh (6 reviews)

I used this mascara a few years ago. I loved the packaging, the main reason why I bought it. Well, it sucks. It is flakey, clumpy, irritating, just a complete mess and waste of money. I recently started using Physicians Formula Organics Mascara and that stuff is amazing. I have sensitive eyes and that stuff doesn't cause redness or itching like other mascaras and it actually makes your lashes look better by conditioning them rather than covering them up. I think it is even better than Clinique! — 2 years ago

Great Packaging, Sorry Mascara!
SisterCrystal7 (2 reviews)

That's really it in a nutshell! I admit that I am a total new product junkie, and I bought this cute mascara hoping with all my heart( and skimpy eyelashes) that it would be the miracle mascara. I really did try to give it the benefit of the doubt, even though I usually only buy waterproof versions. It was a little hard to apply; I find it most difficult to imagine a FEMALE doctor actually applied it first!LOL! It was clumpy, flaked, and within 30 minutes, my eyes looked like I had been in the ring for a full-on brawl! In my 40-something years, I have NEVER applied a worst mascara. But get this; it was a little difficult to remove the product from around my eyes! Go figure... — 2 years, 9 months ago

I liked it
CherryMoor (2 reviews)

I used to buy this mascara until they discontinued it. I didn't realize it was still on the market. It gave me a dramatic, false eyelash effect. I used to be asked if my eyelashes were real. I don't know what everyone's expectations may have been, but typically you have to apply more than one or two coats of mascara. Makeup is an art and sometimes you have to learn to work with what you have. My only complaint was the little bottle didn't last long. I constantly had to replace it. I now use clinique's high impact mascara which has a smoother application and the same luscious effect. — 2 years, 9 months ago
