Haven't tried it yet. Need to get hold of a sample.

I haven't tried it but Thanks for the warning because I was thinking about it.

it's a really bad formula. The brush is ok (that is very personal) but its so liquidy and NOT pigmented. And its not supposed to be waterproof but it behaves like a bad quality waterproof mascara. If you even consider it go check it out at the store with a sample wand.

I might like this... (for a natural look).

It is supposed to last for a long time so maybe that's why it has some waterproof quality to it and that might make it difficult to remove at night. I was really hoping this would be a nice mascara, because i think the blue packaging is very cute!

im obsessed with extended play lash!!! how can you all not love it its amazing 8 hour wear! humidity proof. water resistant, flake resistant, comes off with soap and water. i love that if forms tubes around the lashes its lengthening  mascara not thicking formula. its very wet formula that builds really nice. all the girls i work with love it. and all the customer love it

Maybe i will give it a try. But i never really have problems with my mascara not wearing the whole day or flaking or anything like that. And i don't use waterproof mascara. How does it compare to the studio fix mascara? I've just gotten that one and it's great.

What do you mean by a bad quality waterproof mascara?

I stay away from any mascara with a panda danger. I just hate it when I have dark smudges under my eyes! (Even fluidlines sometimes do that. That's why I only have 4 of them, including Blacktrack I hardly use (because it's black)). And they show because I never put anything colourful under my eyes/lowerlids (only a skin colour liner to waterline).

Magnascopic is pretty good, if you look into their line...and they come in different colors.  They had a green and a burgundy one that were d/c'd but I got at the CCO.  LOVE the green one--for St. Patty's day and such.

I love Chanel's mascara, I am just too much of a tightwad to buy their mascara at full price.  If I find one on sale, I will be sure to snatch it up though.

I find a little olive oil removes even the most stubborn formula, WP or not.  As for "too liquidy," I find that gets better after the tube is opened a bit and dries out.  What I can't stand is dry and flaking at the end of the day.  Too wet, is a pain to work with, but I just wipe a little off on a tissue.  Sorry you hated it.  I hate Loreal Voluminous for being too wet, then it sort of grew on me.  That is when I noticed the 1. wait a few days until it dries out a bit and 2. Smudge the end with a tissue first methods.  I love to layer Voluminous over a lengthening type mascara...

I prefer brown for a more natural look, way less harsh but I have not been buying MAC mascaras due to satisfaction with the quality of the drug store ones, maybe that's why they don't make more brown ones.

Okay, guess I have outed myself as a mascara h00r

I really wanted to try this but because I wear contact lenses I was worried. If it truly is flake resistant it might be just what I'm looking for.

my current favorite mascara is Tarina Tarantino Fleur De Lash...

previous favorites were the Bare Minerals Flawless Definition Volumizing...and Laura Mercier Full Blown...and Maybelline Full n Soft

I have been using Careprost on my lashes for the last 8-10 months so now they're super long... those are the ones that dont get spidery, gloopy, tangled, or crispy...

It's supposed to have a 16-hour wear time and come off with warm water but not with cold water, meaning you can swim in it and be okay. It's flake, humidity and sweat resistant as already mentioned but the wear time is much longer and the fact that it comes off with warm water makes it different. Maybe that's why it's hard to come off if you are using remover vs the warm water? I haven't tried it myself so just speculating. I like the new brush but I have yet to find my HG. I have tried everything and the fact that nothing works makes me sad. I think it's just because my lashes suck.

Does anyone know if there's a travel/trip collection this year? I have not heard anything. I am going to travel in 4 weeks and will be able to go to a duty free.

I kind of collect the travel palettes, too.

I'm sure there will be a travel collection. If I remember correctly, they usually come out in July.

That would be great. Then they would not be sold out by then (when I travel) either!

I don't think the travel collections sell out too fast. I wouldn't worry too much.

If there are b/p again in the travel collection, I will definitely get a palette. I try to travel light, thus palettes are a welcome addition to my stash.

They make falsies for girls like us.  I just don't have the patient to try every day.  Loreal Voluminous false lash effect actually gives me a little volume and length.  There is some combing involved to get the clumps out, but I can deal with that.  No flaking and comes off easily with warm water.  That being said, I will probably try the new mascara from MAC.  I keep thinking they will get one right.  Now, if I can just get it in brown...

Have you guys read on temptalia that Urban Decay also isn't cruelty free anymore? So stupid...i feel like in a year from now no brands will be cruelty free anymore. I really hope Urban Decay can get china to open their eyes about animal testing. And hopefully mac will be cruelty free again.

Yeah, I keep reading the comments on their facebook page, and on different blogs. It's crazy. Never would've expected this from UD.

Me neither. I hope the reasons they give for going to china really are true and that it isn't just an excuse.

I'm cynical and I don't believe they have any reasons other than making more money. I'm not that fussed about animal testing, I don't actually know which brands do or don't test on animals, but if they don't, then they should just be upfront about the reasons and not make up all that crap. Basically they want to conquer China and make more money. End of.

O________O

I like their open letter, though. That's how it's done, MAC! Communication with the customer is all that counts.

I think more and more companies will follow, though - they all want their share of the Chinese market.

so it pretty much leaves MUFE and Illamasqua right?

That's how I feel about this too. Their statement is not very believable to me. I planned to repurchase the Primer Potion, but I'm not that attached to that brand, I'll just try another primer from another brand. Other than the UDPP I wasn't interested in their products anymore anyway.

If you haven't tried Too Faced Shadow Insurance, give that a go instead of UDPP, I really like it.

I'm also not really attached to the brand. I only have the naked palette and the BOS3. I like TFSI over UDPP so another vote for TFSI here!

I really hope somebody can change the mind of chinese people. It's so sad about the way animals are treated there. I have been there once and in one of the warehouses i've seen that they sold a ton of leather and fur. It was so scary to see.

This makes me so sad.

I have to agree with you - I love this mascara!! I was hesitant to buy it because I have disliked almost every mascara MAC has made, but this one is a really good mascara!  The brush feels like it grips your lashes and you can literally feel your lashes lengthening when you apply this.  (Does that make sense? haha)  I have been on the hunt for a mascara that didn't flake and is easy to remove.  I was using Cover Girl Lash Blast 24 Hr. that one is the most difficult mascara to remove ever!  Even with waterproof remover.  Anyway - mascaras work differently on everyone so if you've been curious to try it, I would say it's worth a shot.
