Allergic to the max
Allergic to the max, had swollen eyes for 3 days after using it once.
The original from Helena Rubenstein will never be outbettered, unfortunately out of production after I used it for 36 years :(
Good for thin and sparse lashes
My eyelashes are fine and sparse, so the usual mascaras I have bought over the years, clump and overload the lashes. But this one is different, allowing to build up layers gradually to obtain the desired effect.

I like this mascara but I wish it was a darker black. I already have dark lashes so it doesn’t show up as much. This mascara would be great on someone who had lighter colored lashes.
Love the metal wand applicator
Love the metal wand applicator! I’m older with some hooding, and the wand makes it easy to get close to the lash base without getting mascara on your waterline and lids! As a blonde, I am enjoying the new brown shade, which is perfect when you want a more natural look. My lashes are very fine but long, so I like that the metal wand isn’t overfilled - there are no giant globs and clumps deposited on my lashes, like I experience with every other mascara I’ve tried. It just takes a few extra moments to apply two thinner coats. And, yes, it does stay on! Fabulous!! It’s humid in the South, and we like our water and outdoor activities. A swipe of castor oil across my lashes and lids before I get in the shower is all I need for no-tug removal.
Nice product that delivers
very easy to use and works well! instant longer lashes and no clumping or smudging. works well with the straight lashes as stated. this is the first mascara ive used in years! keep in mind it works with what lashes you have and doesn't make it fuller. i have gaps and shorter lashes along my lash line that dont get coverage so still have to use workarounds to get around that.

Rich Deep Warm Brown Mascara that Compliments a REDHEAD!
I thought the Mascara was the BEST BROWN I have ever tried. The metal wand is easy to use without clumps & excess product hanging off the end of applicator. I hope you will make more products in the future in same BROWN shade. It’s a rich deep warm color that compliments redheads! I will surely be a repeat customer! Hats off ❤️
The mascara stays put well
The mascara stays put well! I still use a lash curler. The iron wand doesn't seem to curl them as much as advertised...
Love the little wand
Love the little wand, although it doesn’t LinkedIn as well as advertised, but overall love the product
Lash Away
I was pleasantly surprised how well this product worked. I have downward lashes which make it difficult to apply and keep on mascara.I curled my lashes before applying and still received minimal results, but that’s because my lashes are extremely thin. I wish I would had known about this product in my earlier years when my lashes were full, I’m sure it would’ve been a game changer. It’s definitely a great product and I highly recommend.
Not worth it
Not worth it. Hardly anything comes out on the wand. I won’t be buying this again.

I have seen so many ads on FB and really wanted to try this mascara on my Asian lashes. Well I tried it and was disappointed. I didn’t really see anything different than any other mascara except that it was extremely hard to get off. I use Lancôme makeup remover which takes everything off except this. I think I used more than five cotton pads and still didn’t fully take it off. I lost couple of lashes trying to get it off. I thought this brand was 100 percent money back guaranteed if not satisfied.

I have a watery eye which in the past has seen any mascara that I had previously purchased smudge all over my face. Finally I have found a mascara that doesn’t do that and yay it comes in brown. Very pleased with my purchase.
Huge hype, huge disappointment
All hype and i am feeling like the videos must be fake, not sure how this is getting positive reviews. Took ages to arrive and very expensive but was hoping the claims outweighed the costs. Hardly any product, does not layer, took me 4 layers to even see i had mascara on and it most definitely do not curl, not even a little. Will be seeing how their 30 day refund works
LONG AND LASTING
The mascara truly keeps my lashes up like no other! I have long straight lashes and they usually droop down after 30 minutes, but this keeps them up and awake and I’ve gotten so many compliments! The delivery is fast, and the product is definitely with the wait and price.
holy grail of mascara
This is literally the holy grail of mascara! I wish is was at Ulta though. Sometimes I forget to order & my old mascara is garbage after using this mascara.
Absolute bullshit
Absolute bullshit.
There is almost no product on the wand, it gives no curl. It’s like applying nothing to your lashes. You are essentially paying for air and cheap metal/plastic.
Don’t fall for it!
Mascara Comment
I'm over 50 and this mascara works well for me. I especially like the metal wand that helps separate my lashes.
Not Great
I have thin, blonde lashes and tried the Olivia Blair Iron Wand Mascara in brown and really didn't like it. It took at least 3-4 layers to make my blond lashes noticeable. Which felt like a really long time compared to the amount of time I typically need to apply mascara. I didn't notice any special curling. I didn't realize that it is waterproof found out that it is DIFFICULT to get off! I tried micellar water, almond oil, various facial cleansers and I could never get all of it off. So I probably lost a few of my lashes trying to remove the mascara! It is also expensive ($36) compared to some store brands that are better in my opinion. I ended up giving the extra mascara (BOGO) to a coworker. I went back to my standard Loreal Paris Voluminous mascara. This was not for me. Beware of ads that are too good to be true.
