Amazing mascara but we need velvet noir back!

Love this mascara although I’ll say it works better with a primer! I use the MAC lash primer and it’s just gorg with this. The curl holds!!! BUT I really need the MJ velvet noir to return alongside its lash primer…that duo was my HOLY GRAIL

Love!

Wow. The name of the mascara was spot on! This was lash defining volume! The applicator was great and didn't hold too much product so i was able to coat all my lashes without clumping with two coats! I had little to no fall out either. Wore it for a hot day at a concert too : ) very satisfied with this.

Delivers on it’s claims

I really liked the Marc Jacobs Flashes Voluminous Mascara overall. It definitely delivers on the volume claim and made my lashes look fuller and more dramatic after just a couple coats. The formula wore well throughout the day too. The one downside for me was the applicator. It seemed to pick up a little too much product each time, which made the mascara feel somewhat heavy and harder to distribute evenly on my lashes without clumping. I had to spend extra time wiping off excess product...

Love the packaging

Love the design. Product is basic. Takes awhile to dry. I’ll stick with my old mascara.

Excellent cocoa for my hazel eyes

I have purchased a lot of mascara’s before and this one is my current favorite. It’s not clumpy, the applicator is perfect. I have also started applying my mascara differently where I swipe side to side oppose to swiping in one direction from root to tip. Side to side gives me a much better application.

Marc Jacobs mascara was always wonderful; however, it isn't that way now. It looks like it will only last 2 weeks if I'm lucky, and it does make my eyes tear.

beautiful lashes

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This mascara was beautifully packaged, lengthened my lashes, and separated them nicely. It did not clump, did not feel heavy on the lashes, and was easy to apply. The shape of the brush is convenient for application and it wasn’t a hassle to remove

Marc Jacobs is back & still amazing!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was pleasantly surprised when I received this product. First of all, I wasn’t aware that Marc Jacobs was re-launching the beauty line! I loved their last beauty line, so was super excited to try the new stuff. First off, the packaging is so cute and feels very luxurious, while still being fun and cute. I definitely think they’re marketing to the younger generation, but I love it. Makeup should be fun, and I love a fun bright...

Did I just find a new favorite?!?!

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. First of all, the packaging is adorable!! It's a soft feel case with the cutest "pillow" star on top! This mascara applies beautifully with zero to no fall out. It layers nicely for additional volume. I did not notice any smearing or transfers, but I don't rub my eyes. The color is a nice, deep black. I did not curl my lashes before application, but it seems this helps add lift and actually holds!! It adds volume and length and made...

A star is born (or back depending who you ask!)

I am absolutely obsessed! First I have to say that I’m just so excited that MJ beauty has returned, bc I was a massive fan of the first iteration and sooo insanely bummed when it was shuttered. Anyways, onto the review! I needed a good brown mascara that isn’t too red but not too ashy and perfect for daytime and an upcoming vacation. I will say that I do have decent lashes to begin with, and I always always ALWAYS use my trusty favorite Lancôme lash primer under ANY and ALL mascaras I...

Worth it, buy it

I got this product recently and I was super concerned because I never get Marc Jacobs. The packaging is super fun and out there but the product is amazing and glides on. It’s not clumpy looks amazing.
