I had heard good and bad things about Revlon's Fabulash Mascara, but after seeing the lashes on Kate Bosworth in the ads, I *had* to try it! I scored it on sale, so I figured it wasn't much of a loss if it didn't work out. My first impression when I opened the tube was that I was going to end up with three huge lashes on each eye from that crazy brush, LOL. However, I was pleasantly suprised to end up with long, thick, dark, non-clumpy lashes. There are two reasons I didn't give it a 5 - 1) it occasionally will flake, and 2) it's hard to remove even though it's not waterproof. I can use eye makeup remover, then face wash, and I will still have mascara smudges. It wouldn't stop me from repurchasing though!
