"I bought this about a month ago from the drug store thinking it would be an easier alternative on my eyelashes than regular mascara. Not only is the formula very thick and barely transfers onto lashes, but it flakes BAD, literally as soon as you put it on so multiple layers is a no go. Don't see how its okay for sensitive eyes with particles getting flicked into the eye after one swipe."
"I’ve been wearing mascara for over 50 years! This is so bad I had to write a review. Clumpy and gives me short stumpy flaky eyelashes."
"As others have already mentioned, the product goes on clumpy and unevenly, and something about the formula makes it prone to flaking. Even though I've had it for just a couple months, it's become so dry and clumpy whenever I apply it to my lashes, you'd think I'd had it in my makeup bag for a year or more. I was optimistic about the fullness of the mascara's brush and thought it would really work to volumize my lashes, but this was not the case. It isn't cool to spend a little more for a slightly higher-end drugstore brand and have to throw it out so soon. Honestly, I'll stick to Great Lash because it's cheaper and has none of these issues."
"Been using over a year and lashes are fuller, longer, and healthier! This mascara has actually thickened my natural lashes to where I can just use lash curler on days I don't want to wear mascara. Product doesn't irritate my eyes or contacts. This mascara has not flaked on me - normally change out every 1- 2 months. And price keeps it economical to do so."
"It is very dry and doesn't even look like you have applied mascara. Very little product in container."
"has the formula changed? I have never had an allergic reaction to any Almay mascaras, but I did with this one."
"I bought this mascara hoping to find one that would go on smoothly. It was the exact opposite. It would “splatter “ and leave specks of black all over my face when applying. It would also go on my eyelashes clumpy and unevenly. After wearing a few hours, I noticed it had smeared under both eyes. Worst mascara EVER. DO. NOT. BUY"
"I have been using the thickening mascara in the black/brown color for years. This "conditioning" one chunks and clumps and flings bits of mascara all over my face. The wand is long and straight so it's hard to comb out the clumps without several jabs to the eye. I don't like the black color of the thickening/purple tube but that seems to be all that is left in the stores. My advice, avoid the volume and conditioning one!"
"Bought this since I have sensitive eyes and was looking for a mascara that didn’t flake. The PCR container with plant-based bristles is a nice plus. Unfortunately, like other reviewers mentioned, this formula flakes onto your bottom eyelashes which will irritate your eyes. One other issue is removal. Even with the non waterproof formula, it is extremely difficult to remove, often taking a few cleansers before it is fully gone from your eyelids. Would not purchase again."
"From the very first application of this mascara and all subsequent ones there was clumping. I had to use extra effort to try to get a smooth application. I am sorry I didn't read the revfiews before the purchase. ."
