Once you’ve tried tubular mascara, you’ll never want to go back! I’ve tested more expensive brands and honestly, the difference is hardly worth the extra ££££'s! This one does the job perfectly. It stays put through long, sweaty nights on the dance floor, yet comes off effortlessly before bed with just warm water. Absolute game-changer!

Mascara is smudge proof but doesn't lengthen , just colours but smudge proof was the reason I bought it so not disappointed.

Ordered this after a review saying this was a tubing mascara. Which is what I'm looking for. This was perfect. Short bristles that don't reach my eyelid, just the lashes. No clumping. I will need to curl my lashes first next time. There was no smudging!! Very often I forget I've just put mascara on, close my eyes and end up with a black smudge under my eyes. I was feeling confident, so I covered my bottom lashes, too. Then, the ultimate test - to go out on a hot day and see if it stayed in place. Yes it did. My ultra sensitive eyes weren't affected, either. In the evening, I gently washed it off with warm water on a facecloth. In future, I will pre-curl my lashes to get them more noticeable. There is no major volume with this mascara, but is perfect for not irritating sensitive eyes, or washing off in a menopausal hot flush. I'm very happy.

The only mascaras I can wear without looking like a racoon are tubing mascaras. After my usual one got discontinued, I turned to the internet to find a new mascara. This mascara came up on a list of top tubing mascaras. Cheap, cute packaging and promises smudge proof wear? What's not to love, right? Well, this mascara is definitely not tubing. While it is definitely better than most non-tubing mascaras, I still ended up with smudges under my eyes.If you don't have crazy oily eyelids like I do, I would recommend giving this mascara a go, as it is pretty decent for the price. However, if you're reading this hoping this will be your next tubing mascara then I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Love this mascara - as you get older for some reason your mascara ends up all around your eyes - this one stays put but is easy to remove when you want to. Just ordered my second one

This really works no black panda eyes anymore use it with mascara primer

Terrible quality mascara and it definitely smudges. Save yourself the few quid.

Goes on okay, removes very easily however it’s not that black and I feel doesn’t do much for the lashes. Not lengthening, not darkening, lashes just look flat. Wand is a bit tricky to work with. I think this is good if you are rushing for work and want to come back and remove makeup quickly. Wouldn’t re purchase.
