Vivienne Sabó Garçonette - Chic Volume Effect Mascara, Black, 0.3 fl. oz.

I love the cat eye look--winged liner + mascara are the only makeup I wear on a daily basis (yes, not even lipstick, blush, or eyebrow pencil!) Alas, with my crazy schedule and lack of sleep, I've lately become too exhausted to bother with it. My hands shake (caffeine or because I haven't eaten yet, depends what time of day or between which shifts!) This product gives a PERFECT cat eye within 1 minute (for both eyes).You do still have to do a little trial & error to get the wings angles matched up, but that only took me about 3 days to master. Now I usually get it on the first application. This stuff STAYS, no smudge, not even after falling asleep in it once! This is forever and always a staple in my makeup kit.

Good price for good product.

The actual look of this mascara is really nice, it's not a crazy heavy mascara that looks to be like fake eyelashes, but it's not so light that it feels like you need to gob layers on to make it look like you are wearing mascara. It's somewhere in between. If I could rate the appearance of this alone, it would get 5 stars. Here's my issue. This stuff flakes off, falls under my eyes throughout the day, and leaves little black smudges on my eyelids where the top of my lashes hit my lids. If fallout were not an issue with this product, I would be a loyal customer, but as of now, my search for a nice cruelty free mascara continues.

Its not bad. Not my favorite but not bad. I prefer their lengthening mascara but thought I would give this one a try. I feel like you really have to layer over and over with this one to get the look wanted. I`ll stick to the other one in the future. However, no clumping or flaking.

It adds more volume and length than any other mascara I've tried. The one drawback is that it leaves little balls of mascara throughout my lashes unless I try really hard to remove all the excess that is on the brush before hand.

Honestly, I don't know why people don't like this product. It's possible that they try to apply way too thick. I like my lashes natural but dramatic. This product gives me exactly that. The packaging is really nice, the wand feels great, and it applies smoothly. I've tried mascara that were high end (much more expensive) but didn't even come close to this one. Make-up is very subjective, so I'd try it and judge myself before rejecting blindly on a few bad reviews.

This is a good mascara for the price. If you like layering different types of mascara for maximum effect (like me), this mascara works well because it separates your lashes without clumping. I’ll buy again!

It lengthens your lashes nicely and lasts all day. It doesn't quite thicken them as much as I had hoped, but the benefit to this is that it doesn't clump, crumble or smear.
