Vivienne SabóCabaret Premiere Black Mascara, Volume and Length, Defining, Curling, No Flaking, No Clumping, Smudge Proof, Washable, Cruelty-Free, Made in Europe, (01 Black), 0.3 Fl Oz, 1 Pack

Update- I had a mascara emergency recently ( I lost it while applying in the car, stoped, of course) or it fell out of the car for the walk of tardy shame for kid 2….it was a run into Walgreens and I didn’t want to spend a ton for what I may find later. Welcome to my life Wet n wild in the purple tube (waterproof over my primer), it has the same brush, I still poked myself in the eye, but I could tell no difference. Price tag, under $3 on sale. Zero flaking, zero smudge. Never did I think I would love a $3 mascara. Maybe fresher than this one? IDK. I may just have been converted.Original/First I will say that I am a total mascara snob, I do not go ANYWHERE without mascara on. I have used Lancôme for 20+ years and any time I found the “next greatest” mascara and tried it I was so disappointed.I read lots of reviews and could hardly believe that THIS product could be this amazing. I expected a good mascara but nothing that blew me away. I was so wrong! The first time I tried it my lashes looked amazing! I have long and very thick lashes so many mascaras clump the lashes together, even my beloved Lancôme. The ones that do not clump do not seem to produce any noticeable results.THIS mascara not only gave perfect coverage from root easily to tip, it is a perfect level of thickness. There is NO CLUMPING! I have used it over my Lancôme primer just because I find that I get less under the eye mascara as the day progresses. However when I haven’t the lashes still look long, thick and defined.And it is absolutely the best single cosmetic product I have ever used! The brush took a few tries to really feel like I got it, but making sure the very tip is wiped is key to a random blob on my lid. I admit that having used different brushes for so long that I stabbed myself in the eye the first time I used it but that was entirely my fault.I also have always used a waterproof mascara, in heat and humidity it just stays better, however this has amazing staying power. I often fall asleep without removing makeup, but this is still looking great when I get up and is easily removed by my usual facial cleanser. I have not needed eye makeup remover.This was by far the best purchase I have made in a long time. Everyone needs to try this!!!I will add pictures if I can to the review.Edit- I am now on maybe my 4th tube (the first one is still pretty “fresh” and have tried a few others since buying this (ok, I’m obsessed with mascara!) AND given this as gifts multiple times and this still is by far the best mascara I’ve ever used. I have not gotten the waterproof version even though that is normally what I would go with because this one stays put so well.Seriously not sure how it is so inexpensive. Love it and everyone I have given this to has then ordered it.

Have tried many mascaras, expensive cheap, everything in between. This mascara by far my favorite, does not irritate my eyes or contacts, truly waterproof, and my lashes are elongated, full, and beautiful!! They have a loyal customer in me!!

So far so good. I love the way it stays smooth. No clumping.

This is a great mascara. I have tried so many different brands, high end to low price drug store this one cover all the bases. Smudge free, and the brush is killer, separates the lashes and cover well. I am not so sure about curling, I have yet to find a mascara that actually curls lashes, but this does everything else it says it does. Very happy with it and I will buy again. I can actually use under eye cream and not worry about black eyes.

I LOVE this mascara. It has a thin brush, and it works better at separating and lengthening lashes than the big brushes do. I will continue to buy it. And it's so cheap! Great stuff.

Product does its job, but usually you pass the mascaras a few times on your lashes and they start to look fuller and longer, but this product doesnt do that. It's not smudge proof, after a few hours out I notice my lower eye marked black. Didn't like it, good thing it comes off easily when cleaning with makeup wipes.

I haven't worn mascara in years but decided to try this based on the reviews. It goes on smoothly, stays on without flaking which is usually the problem, doesn't give me raccoon eyes, and is easy to remove. It looks natural and not clumpy.

Love this mascara, long lasting, no smudges or flaking. My lashes look really long naturally.
