  Don't understand it

  by Riak (83 reviews)

  Top 500 Reviewer

  I guess i have no idea what everyone is raving about and yes i do know how to apply mascara, first of all it clumped all over the place even when i wiped the goo that comes off on and with the wand on a tissue, second it was the hardest thing to remove and i had to struggle with the swipe pad of eye makeup remover, third a... few lashes came off on the swipe while i was trying to remove it, so now i have a tiny bald patch that i am trying to grow with another product and forth my boyfriend asked me it i had some sort of a sticky glue on my eyelashes when he saw me with it and he proceeded to try and remove it if i just stayed still, so i guess i am never like NEVER touching it again.

  Definitely a must-have.

  I usually love thick, thick, thick lashes. But unless I apply a few different coats and usually two types of mascara, then I don't feel like I have done enough. The eyes are so important to frame, I feel, that they deserve as much or more concentration of makeup than anywhere else on the face. This mascara is not too thi...ckening, but it does give you gorgeous, fan-like lashes. It really does grab every single little lash and lengthen it to the longest it can possibly be. I was afraid of the applicator, but this strange applicator was what was needed to have this effect. Whether I use it alone, or with another mascara, this really makes hidden lashes come alive with darkness and length. I did watch the video available online to apply it, which may have led to my success with it, so if you get it and don't like the results, do watch the video online at givenchy and you won't be disappointed.

  i'm confused

  by lissasioux (41 reviews)

  i'm pretty sure like most negative reviewers of this product, i was beyond excited to try this originally- hoping to find the mascara of all mascaras. i know how to put on mascara, and i don't feel it was something i just need to get the jist of; i tried it for a week. the reviews of this item were love/hate, but those that... hated it kept mentioning it's never-ending tackiness. COMPLETELY true. i notices streaks under my eyes and an hour after application it was still not completely dry!! that's NEVER happened before with a mascara, even after several coats! even if you wipe of the excess on the tip of the sphere, and trust me you do need to or you would have tammy faye baker lashes, it seems like you're getting too much. the logic is that the sphere will allow you to get where you couldn't before with a regular brush and also control more precisely where you put the mascara. For me, it didn't; just an instant clump inducer. i hoped instead the shape of the brush would deliver gently grouped lashes (like a common faux lash effect)- not at all. so not only was the application bad, the formula was too. smudgy and tacky. the tube doesn't squeeze off excess when pulling out the wand. the price is outrageous too. i really really wanted to like this but at the end i realized it sounded too good to be true. maybe after i forget the experience, i'll give it another try. if your looking for ultra precision and finding the tiniest lashes, go for Maybelline Lash Discovery instead (with a whopping $22 price difference!!) i was just glad sephora takes back used merchandise!!

  I've finally found my mascara!

  by ClaudiaC (5 reviews)

  I think I've tried every brand known to woman-kind and still have yet to claim one. I now know what the buzz is about. This mascara is amazing!! The brush took a second to get the jist of but the end result is long, clump-free, fan-like lashes in a couple of strokes. It lasted all day and gently washed off with mild cleanse...r and water. The hefty price tag is worth every long lash you'll show off. October 3, 2008, 9:59 am

  By far my favorite.

  by KFoxalicious (64 reviews)

  I consider myself a mascaraholic. I have tried every mascara under the sun and thought I was faithful to one that I've been using for about a year until I saw this. I immediately went out and bought it and FELL IN LOVE with it. It does everything I look for in a mascara. It thickens up my lashes (even the itty bitty bab...y ones), lengthens them and only in one or two coats. I usually do about 3-4 coats of my regular mascara. It's even easy to apply while driving (okay I know that's not safe, but I had to once). I now consider myself faithful to Givenchy PHenomen' EYes. September 21, 2008, 3:33 pm

  Phenomenot?

  by ftsupercat (4 reviews)

  I saw a picture of a fascinating new mascara applicator while shopping online a couple of weeks ago. It was round, like a sphere, in fact if you can, imagine a Hedgehog all rolled up in a ball. I ordered it immediately, I absolutely loved the funky new gig. It is made by Givenchy, they named it "Phenomen'Eyes".... PhenomenNot is what I sadly call it after testing it. I used it and the mascara left huge blobs on my eyelashes. I was soooo disappointed. I even took the experiment one step further. I tried the sphere applicator with my regular applicator, it too turned into blobs. I then put a regular applicator in the Givenchy mascara. It went on very smooth and lengthened my lashes. It's a great mascara with a not so great applicator. I hope the designer's keep improving upon their idea, it could have potential..... Briana August 24, 2008, 11:07 am

  Not for everybody

  by amourflorale (9 reviews)

  I bought the Phenomen'eyes two weeks ago hoping to be blown away. At first I was blown away. After a few more uses though, I started to reailze that even though this mascara is great, it isn't worth $28 to me. The Phenomen'eyes, if used properly, will fan out your lashes, lengthen them like no other mascara can, but will n...ot volumize them as much as you'd want them to. It'll take a few tries to really get used to the new brushhead and you will poke yourself a few times in the process, guaranteed. The one thing that many people may not understand is that the application process for this mascara is not the same as the other mascaras out there, therefore if you apply the old method to this mascara, you won't get the best possible results. For $28, it is expensive, but still worth a try. I might be buying it again, but not anytime too soon. November 17, 2009, 10:01 am

  The best mascara I've tested

  by dafni_marchioro (2 reviews)

  This mascara is marvelous! It reaches all the lashes, even the more difficult ones! My lashes never have been so beautiful... It is, in my opinion, the best mascara that I've known. I have tested mascaras from Lancôme, Dior, Guerlain, Avon, but this one is the best! For sure! November 5, 2009, 2:19 pm

  It's good but it could be even better

  by Kyhara (6 reviews)

  I like this product but it was a little hard to remove. It definitely does the job of making your lashes pop!! November 3, 2009, 12:25 pm
