Product Rating: 5 The Best I've Ever Used
Reviewer: Judith Anderson  

I have used Mavala Waterproof Mascara for 15 years. I have allergies and this product has never caused any irritation at all. I feel that this product could be called a "dry mascara", it doesn't deposit clumps and for me at least, does not smudge at all. I live in France for 6 months each year and Mavala is a product sold in stores called Parapharmacies and so is very available to me either in the United States or France. I certainly hope they don't ever go out of business, as has happed with many of my other favorites.

Product Rating: 1 Horrible
Reviewer: Lolita from Washington, DC  Tue Aug 29 2006

I should've listened to people who complained about this product. It rubs off like crazy, I don't know what part of this mascara is WATERPROOF. And I got the black color, but it looks more like gray. I'm very upset for purchasing this item.

Product Rating: 2 Is not waterproof and flakes off eyelashes.
Reviewer: Linda from Dania Beach Florida  Sun Jul 23 2006

Product came off my eyelashes throughout the day and had to keep wiping it off so I didn't look like a racoon.

Product Rating: 2 Never buy it again
Reviewer: Dona   Sat Jul 08 2006

When I first applied this mascara I thought it was very natural looking, my eyelashes were still soft and not brittle. It also uncurled my eyelashes and no, it is definitely not waterproof. Would never buy this again!

Product Rating: 5 THE ONLY MASCARA I'LL USE....BEEN USING IT FOR OVER 10 YEARS!
Reviewer: L. Maxwell from Colchester, CT  Thu Jun 22 2006

This is simply the BEST mascara out there. It goes one smoothly, no clumping, and defines nicely. I work in the beauty industry, and as far as other user's comments on smudging....I can tell you professionally, that if someone has really oily skin, ANY mascara can end up smudging a little, even the waterproof ones, because the ends of you lashes do sometimes come in contact with your skin. If your skin is oily you can get smudging because oil breaks down waterproof mascaras. This is why the removers for waterproof mascaras are "oil based". As for me, I have combinations skin, and this DOES NOT smudge on me. I LOVE it!! I would urge anyone to give it a try. The other thing I have noticed over the 10 years I've been using it, is that my lashes are naturally longer and thicker then they used to be when I had been using a high-end department store brand. This mascara fortifies and conditions. Again, LOVE IT!

Product Rating: 5 It's Mavala-ous.
Reviewer: Jayne C.   Wed Jun 14 2006

I love this mascara. I had long been in search of a mascara that would simply do what it's intended to do: go on without clumping, lengthen my lashes, and stay put. This one does just that - flawlessly. My search is over!!!

Product Rating: 5 Try and love it!!!
Reviewer: maricris from murrieta, ca  Thu Apr 27 2006

I love this mascara....its creamy formula glides/applies on perfectly leaving no clumps unlike the other brands out there that is so watery, that's why even though I can only buy it online, it doesn't matter....because it's worth it!!!!

Product Rating: 1 not good
Reviewer: R.A from New York  Thu Feb 23 2006

i tried many mascara products. i had a great expectation for this one, but unfortunately it wasn't the one for me.
after a couple of hours or less, this smudged my under eye area A LOT. still, i gave several more tries, but the results were the same -- it smudged so badly that i felt embrassed to be seen outside. so i gave up and bought a different one that didn't smudge like this one.

Product Rating: 5 This is the best!
Reviewer: Glenda Gibbs from Kennewick WA  Wed Nov 09 2005

I have tried many brands of mascara and this is far by the best. It goes on with great ease and it stays on - not a bit of smudging or running. I give it a 5.

Product Rating: 4 Great coverage
Reviewer: Michele Seyford from New York  Thu Oct 13 2005

I have the worst eyelashes they don't hold a curl and most mascaras take whatever curl I get right out. Not this mascara it applies really well give excellent coverage and lasts all day with no smudging and removes really easy with eye makeup remover. I've been using it for almost a year and I'm still loving it.

Product Rating: 5 Mavala Mascara
Reviewer: Joanie M Miller from San Ramon, CA  Thu Sep 29 2005

This is by far the best mascara that I have ever used. It does not dry brittle and leaves your lashes soft. It is worth the 10.00 it cost. I will never use any other mascara product as long as this is available.

Product Rating: 5 soft, gentle, never stiff or dry
Reviewer: chelley   Fri Jun 24 2005

I have used this mascara faithfully for 10 years, it is the ONLY beauty product that I love so much I will not even try others. It is not "waterproof" if you rub your eyes when wet, but it is tear proof. I tend to pick off my mascara, because every other brand I've tried is dry and flakey- mavala is the only mascara I've found that stays soft. No picking, no loss of eyelashes!

Product Rating: 5 Mavala Waterproof Mascara
Reviewer: Kathy from New York City  Fri Apr 29 2005

This is an excellent mascara. It helps my lashes hold their curl, and it stays put. My lashes are not falling out as much, and they are looking fuller. I like the curved brush also.

Product Rating: 3 not quite waterproof
Reviewer: jill from edmonton, alberta, canada  Fri Apr 22 2005

the mavala mascara is beautiful to use, goes on smoothly with no clumps, and makes my lashes look beautiful. however, i did not find that it lasted a full day without smudging, something that i would expect from a waterproof mascara. it definately did not stand up to a couple of tears or a short nap...i woke up looking like a racoon. if waterproofing isn't an issue for you, this is a fantastic product. however, if you need the waterproofing, as i do, you might want to consider something else.

Product Rating: 5 Best ever mascara
Reviewer: Mrs B from Britain  Fri Apr 22 2005

I've been using Mavala mascara in Midnight Blue for years and it's the only blue mascara I've come across that doesn't cause allergies; also it's so much more flattering than the usual black or brown, and the brush is perfectly shaped so you don't get it all over your face. Can't understand Raccoon Eyes, never had a problem myself. In fact the only problem is that it's not easy to find on sale, hence having to order on the internet. And at $10.00 it's a steal! It's £12 (about $23) here in England. Thank you!

Product Rating: 4 Excellent mascara but a little over priced.
Reviewer: Melissa from Georgia  Mon Mar 28 2005

Goes on smooth without smudging or clumping. I have very long lashes top and bottom. I have had no problems with this mascara.

Product Rating: 5 VERY GOOD .
Reviewer: ROSE from OHIO  Wed Mar 09 2005

I USE THIS EVERY DAY AND MY LASHES ARE NOT FALLING OUT ANYMORE.I USED TO USE OTHER PRODUCTS .THIS IS THE BEST I USED SO FAR.

Product Rating: 2 Mascara smudges
Reviewer: Jeannette from San Francisco  Fri Feb 25 2005

I will not buy this product again. Most waterproof mascaras do not smudge under my lower eyelashes as this one consistently does after about 8 hours of wear. I did like the applicator and the mascara does not clump.

Product Rating: 5 Mavala Brown Waterproof Mascara
Reviewer: Rose Craig from Maryland  Thu Jan 27 2005

I have red hair and blue eyes. I work as a paramedic fire fighter. It can be a difficult job. I work a 24 hour shift and need mascara that doesn't have to be constantly replaced. Mavala Brown Waterproof Mascara not only last but brings the blue out in my eyes. Since I have been using Mavala Brown Waterproof Mascara people have told me I have beautiful eyes. This mascara is now my permanent mascara. Thank you Mavala

Product Rating: 5 Mavala Mascara
Reviewer: Joanie M Miller from Northern California  Thu Jan 20 2005

I stumbled on this mascara several years ago at J C Penney and was so impressed with the way it went on and how soft and silky it felt. Then Penneys discontinued the mascara and I went online searching for it. I did find it but it was coming from Florida and took forever to get it. I just happened to wander on to your site and there it is. Thanks for having it available, I really like it.
