Comments: This is one of my favorite Sephora mascaras. The giant brush coats lashes with plenty of mascara, building length and volume while giving good definition. It also does a great job of reaching all of the lashes. Just be careful or you'll get mascara on your eyebrows! :)

Grade: F
Comments: DO NOT buy this mascara. It does as it says by staining your lashes. And it also stays on your lashes without reapplying for 4 days as advertised. Unfortunately, if you want to remove it before the 4 days are over, too bad, so sad, you are out of luck! I tried using eyemakeup remover pads. Then I tried J&J Baby Shampoo without success. Next, I tried warm water in the shower, which usually works on mascara with "tubes". Nothing worked! Because of my makeup allergies I NEVER leave my eye makeup on over night. The next day, I tried to apply a different mascara over the Tarte mascara, but that didn't work because the Tarte makes your lashes harder than normal. It did in fact take 4 days for the mascara to come off. Grrrr! I just hope some of my lashes didn't come out with it!

Grade: D
Comments: This mascara has fibers added to extend the length of your lashes. It does add the advertised length, but I found the formula to be very irritating to my eyes. I wore it all day, but found myself constantly rubbing my eyes. I only tried it for one day because of this.

Definition? A little
Clumping? No
Smudging? No
Regular or Waterproof? Regular
Lengthens?A little
Curls? No
Stay power? Not very good.
Easily removable? It makes a mess when you go to remove it.

Grade: D
Comments: I didn't like this mascara. To begin with, the wand brush is twirled, which is very aggravating. It makes control difficult. The color is jet black, which makes it stand out, but it also makes it very messy to remove. It has an average overall effect which doesn't last all day.

Lengthens? A little

Curls? A little

Regular or Waterproof? Regular

Stay power? Yes

Easily removable? Yes

Grade: C

Comments: This mascara has Abyssinia oil to provide dramatic color. The color is good, but not dramatic. It also has provitamin B5 to condition lashes and prevent breakage. It does leave the lashes soft and pliable. The football shaped brush is designed to give an extreme fan effect. It failed to give any extreme effect at all.

Definition? Good

Volume? A little

Clumping? No

Comments: The brush and formula of this mascara make it possible to make several applications without clumping, allowing you to build some volume and length. It leaves your lashes feeling soft throughout the day. It doesn't, however, give you a dramatic effect.
