If I could sum this product up in three words… 1) Ew 2) Laughable 3) Gross

I was in CVS last night, and I actually wasn’t even looking for this mascara. I was hunting 1000 Calorie Mascara, and I wasn’t sure which company made it. I couldn’t find it, but I needed a new mascara, and I grabbed this one because of the shiny looking tube (typical me — oooo shiny!).

When I opened it this morning, I was extremely disappointed to see the old style tiny brush (and SO tiny at that!) that I haven’t seen since using the ol’ pink and green Great Lash Mascara that I used as a teenager (which Allure stuns me, year by year, for awarding as the best mascara; I just don’tget it). I love the big, textured rubber wands. They work wonders and it shocked me to see this antique in my $7.49 mascara tube. Oh well… When I started applying I realized the wand WAS slightly different. The grips on the side separate your lashes pretty well.

The next problem is the formula. I inserted the wand back into the tube and when it reappeared, I actually thought my wiper at the end of my tube be defective because so much nasty, goopy product came out with my wand — this is likely due to the extremely small size of the wand. I did my best and somehow managed to apply my mascara evenly without smearing it.

When I got to work today and checked myself in the mirror I realized that there was flaky fall-out on my cheeks… Yech… Despite this, my lashes are actually very nicely separated and defined. They look thicker and much fuller than usual. Another check a few hours later revealed more flaky-fall out on the cheeks (WTF?!) and smudges under the lash line — a problem I have really never had with a mascara. It’s a real shame since the formula seems to work so nicely with my lashes… I think I’d like it even slightly better than my Define-a-Lash, if it weren’t for the obvious issues.

Quick wrap-up 1. The world’s TINIEST wand as far as I’m concerned 2. Wiper doesn’t work – goop is likely to smear mascara on your eyes 3. Flaky fall-out on your face in no time! 4. Smudges! 5. Great for definition and volume but not worth the cons 6. Far overpriced at 7.49 retail

My verdict: What the hell is Revlon thinking even keeping this mascara on the shelves.

Geez I’m sorry for the harsh review put this just pisses me off. I’m returning this as soon as I get home. What was I thinking even straying from my beloved Maybelline Define-a-Lash?
