Anyone rate this? It's the tubing one.

I use it. It's ok as a day to day job. Expensive for what it is though so I only buy it with the £5 vouchers.

The name 'long lasting VOLUME' is a misnomer though. Zero volume.

BeStrongAndCourageous · 07/10/2015 12:13

I love it, I find it lasts better than the Clinique one. It doesn't give much volume - I wouldn't say zero though - but I prefer a more natural look anyway.

I like it. I can only use tubing mascaras amd this is a pretty good one.

NattyGolfJerkin · 07/10/2015 13:43

bestrong me too the natural look. I go for lengthening over volume, I just wouldn't advise it for someone who was looking for a volumising product. The name is misleading.

NattyGolfJerkin · 07/10/2015 13:43

me to re* the natural look

Bring have you tried the B. and/or GOSH tubing mascaras, and if so how do they compare? I find No7 incredibly overpriced most of the time and would rather get a cheaper one if they're as good.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 07/10/2015 16:08

I bought it but not impressed really (it doesn't compare to my beloved "They're real" or the new "Roller" mascara.

I wore it on holiday, it was a lighter coverage and did give the lengthening but made my eyelashes seem thinner. And a complete pain in the bum with all the bits tubing off.

LittleMiss77 · 07/10/2015 17:00

Are we talking about the Stay Perfect Long Lasting Volume one?

If so, utter shite. But only because the wand is just a load of plastic spikes as opposed to a brush.

My eyelashes all stuck together and i looked a right knob when i used it - although my technique might be off.

Think i'll stick to my Clinique one

Pantone363 · 07/10/2015 17:04

I HATE it.

Gave it to DD in the end. Eyelashes looked spidery, stuck together and just ridiculous. Is also a PITA to remove

LittleMiss77 · 07/10/2015 17:10

I am tempted to try it again and use a different wand - only because at the moment i cant afford the £13 that it cost so im loathe to chuck it in the bin

Kennington · 07/10/2015 17:13

Love it but paint it both sides of lashes - top ones only - for good volume
Never budges

bigbuttons · 07/10/2015 21:26

I love it. Only ever buy it cheap on eBay. I don't bother wirh any other mascara now. They all smudged in a couple of hours, every single one. The tubing ones stay on all day and are really easy to get off its a flannel at night.

GinandJag · 07/10/2015 21:28

What is a tubing mascara?

bigbuttons · 07/10/2015 21:33

IT coats the lashes in little tubes. They only come off with water, so if you have oily lids like me they won't smudge off during the day. They will only come off when you choose to remove them. When you wash your face you see little tubes!

BringMeTea · 08/10/2015 00:05

Sorry Hopeful, that is the cheapest one I have used. Usually use Estee Lauder double wear or Kanebo. Mind you it is pretty much as good as those.
