Dazzlelash is part of the regular line. It is on the MAC website and I saw it at the counter the other day.

So far so good! I've been wearing Opulash for about 9 hours, including a two hour nap, and no stinging or anything. I was worried about that after some of the other reviews.

I'll give it a few more days before I get rid of my Nordies receipt, but I think this one is a keeper. I think Plushlash is better as far as just getting lush, full lashes, but Opulash is great for length and fullness too.

I have to say, I'm actually really liking this mascara! And I HATE MAC mascaras!
My HG mascara is Diorshow, so I was originally used to the big brush- which I actually love! I feel like the bigger the brush, the bigger the separation and volume it gives! Just my opinion

It separates the lashes just the way I want it, and I can build to get the volume I want without clumping! This is a great alternative to my beloved Diorshow! I think probably the only thing I don't like is that it seems so watery. I guess I like mine thicker lol i don't know, but I have to be careful not to blink or get it on my lids after applying.

Other than that, I like it! I have to try it out a little more to see if I prefer this over my Diorshow. But as of now, I'm still in love with my Dior!- But Opulash comes REALLY close!

I actually don't mind this mascara. Whether I would purchase it again or not... I'm leaning toward not. There are less-expensive options that are just as good, or better.

I paired it with UD Flash, and my eyes BURNED. As soon as I took off the eyeshadow, it felt better. So I don't think it was the mascara (that, and I've used it several times before with no issue).

Dirty GPS is awesome! And a much better purchase than Opulash IMO.

i bought this mascara about 3 weeks ago now and have used it quite alot. it's the first mac mascara that i really like

it does flake a little after wearing it for 10 hours, but that doesn't bother me too much.... i just love the lengh it gives my lashes! they look awesome!

 

[Rinstar]

I think I'm going to pick this up when I go back for Thrills l/s. I hate all my current mascaras, it's time for something new!

 

[purplerinne]

I picked this up 2 days ago and am really surprised! I've only used zoom lash before and that sucked! It clumped my non existant lashes bad....but I decided to try this and i'm glad I did!

Will it replace my HG Fresh mascara? mmm probably not, but for the price it's worth it....

I tried this out the other day, it's not bad. I still like my Clinique Lash Power better but this is pretty good.

 

[Ingenue]

I really want to like this mascara, but it's just not good. It doesn't lengthen or thicken. It's thin and doesn't build well. :-(

I'm not a fan of MAC mascaras, and this latest addition isn't helping matters at all.

I've had this mascara for about a week now and I think I like it. It might sound weird, but the wand is kind of too long for me. I like the short little wand on Plushlash, it's just more comfortable. It was worth trying though. The girl at the counter told me it was supposed to be comparable to Diorshow, which I always wanted to try, but didn't want to spend so much on a mascara.

 

[LMD84]

hhhmm the only thing i dislike about this mascara is how crispy it makes my lashes feel. however they look so great when i use this i can lmost ignore the crispiness...almost!

I loved my Diorshow. I used the whole mini which is rare because I'm never satisfied by any mascara lol (I bought a mini version off a friend). Right now, I'm using Maybelline Colossal and it works better for me than any expensive brand I've tried. I love Mac but after reading everyone's experiences with any Mac mascara, I just can't seem to buy it. I spend the money on all the other Mac I seem to have to possess.

So I've been using Opulash since it launched at Nordies... I really like it, except it's a bitch to take off. I hate the way it flakes off and doesn't come off cleanly.

I think I like it more than Dazzlelash (though I do still like Dazzlelash and I'm not sad that I have another tube waiting for me to use!), but I'm not sure if I like it more than Plushlash. I think I like that Opulash isn't as complicated as Plushlash, but I like Plushlash's results equally, and taking Plushlash off was way easier for me.

 

[spunky]

how does this compare to benefit badgal lash? i know the wands are similar, but what about the formula?

 

[Momolovesmac]

its really hard to remove...i never had problems removing any mascaras though

yeah i agree with this. i find that i have to use an eye make up remover. rather than my usual make up wipe and washing my face with purity cleanser. without using a seperate make up remover my lashes still have residue on them.

 

[monter]

^this. usually the VS dual phase eye makeup remover i use gets off EVERYTHING pretty cleanly, but even after kind of scrubbing my eye with the cotton ball, my lashes still feel kind of gross and hard. annoying.

I use coconut oil to cleanse off my makeup and it works on removing this macara just as good. Try using a natural oil to remove your makeup and you will be okay (jojoba oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil) the mascara will just slide right off your lashes and will not tug at them. After using the oil to cleanse off your makeup then follow up with your normal facial cleanser to remove the oil/makeup residue. IHTH

I have been trying the Opulash the past few days and i think the brush is too fat. It is hard for me to use. I have naturally long lashes, but i like them to be thick. It seems this mascara is very thin and hardly enything comes off the brush.
