Worth it!
This is absolutely worth the money! The packaging is vibrant and beautiful. I love the sleek, simple packaging from some other brands - but something about the bright red packaging and tube is very fun and eye catching. The wand is perfect - I appreciate that they don't have a fancy, funky wand. Jus...

Volumizing, but…
I have been using a deluxe sample of the NARS Climax Mascara for awhile now, and it's a nice volumizing mascara. But it's not my favorite. The brush is very firm and pokey, I had to significantly slow down my routine to make sure that I didn't hurt my eye. This mascara gives more of a fluffy volume,...

Love it
Love the way it separates my lashes and lenthens them. Color is perfect
Who made this?
Do they call this climax mascara because it leaves residue all over your face? After a day of work, I had nothing but mascara flakes all over my cheeks. I don't touch my face or do anything besides office work so there was no reason for it to flake so bad. zero stars
not as good as I was expecting for NARS
it did lengthen my lashes but my happiness was short-lived because it smudged under my eyes terribly
Thankfully I didn't pay for it
Got this as a "free" gift with purchase. Disappointed all the way around. Application was tricky due to extra large applicator and product clumped and smudged. Much happier with my tried and forever true Maybelline and they have the added bonus of being waterproof. Don't waste your money.
Very good mascara!
I think this mascara formula is very nice it definitely volumizes without looking like a clumpy mess! The color is the most perfect shade of black and it doesn't smude, flake or smear! This mascara works great on its own, but my favorite way to wear it is with curled lashes and the grande lash primer! The only downside to this mascara is the packaging it never feels like its fully closed, and one day i gently opened the tube, a little piece of plastic broke off the lid and it wouldn't close so i had to throw it away! this definitely makes me hesitant to purchase this mascara again.
