This is my HG mascara. It makes my lashes look way longer and seperates them and volumizes them a little. The black is dark enough for me. It doesn't flake or clump no matter how many coats I use.
Pros:Doesn't clump or flake, makes my lashes look longer, packaging Cons:Price
High Impact sits in my makeup bag just incase I run out of my other mascara unexpectedly. It was not difficult to apply, in fact I liked the texture, but it didn't lengthen my lashes and made my lashes clump more. My lashes turned into short, squat things surrounding my eyes, not long, sexy extensions. This mascara didn't run too badly, but I would occasionally see a black line under my lid. Again, I will use it if I run out of my fave.
Pros:Good color, little smudge Cons:Clumps, did not lenghten much
I was a bit skeptical to get and try Clinque's Mascara, since, I'm in love with all of Lancôme's mascara's. I didn't think it would do just as a good job as Lancôme, but to my surprise, it did. This mascara is not as expensive as Lancôme, and it did just as a good job, greatly impressed with the differene it made on my lashes, and the brush is great. I'm going to save the brush after I finished this tube, cause it would make a great eyebrow brush. It spereates and enlongates, but not as much as volume as I expected. The downside of this mascara is that my lashes doesn't stay up (bend upwards) as long as my Lancôme, it is usually pretty straight at the end of the day. In all in all , a great mascara for a great price. This is a mascara every mascara vrigin needs to begin with...
Pros:Great price, and effect. Cons:straight lashes at the end of the day even when a curler is used.
I didn't like this mascara at all. Seems like a cheap mascara, stains the lashes but doesn't really add any volume or length. The color also smeared under my eyes and the brush is too big. You'd be better off buying Loreal Voluminous - good product, and cheap.
Let me start by saying this was my favorite mascara until I found Prescriptives Beyond Long. The brush is very nice and not skimpy. I did notice I had to becareful to not apply too much at one time and layer it, so it wouldn't get too cakey or clumpy looking. It also claims to prevent clumping, let your mascara dry between coats (although I find my lashes harder to work with once the coats completely dry....might be just me). It was gentle for my sensitive eyes. The wand/brush is thick bristles full of volume and allows to reach and apply to all lashes
My skin: NW25/sensitive/hyper-oily/acne prone w/ pink undertones
Pros:great thick brush, doesn't clumb if layered correctly Cons:none
A friend gave me this mascara as a gift. It is a very nice rich, volumnizing mascara. I really like the dense wand, it coats the lashes well for a nice thick, black look. I do have to be careful to wipe the excess off of the wand before application. The formula is so thick that it globs up easily. This is what makes the lashes so volumnized though, I think, so it's a trade off.
It is a bit pricey for me, when I find that I get the same basic results with L'Oreal Lash Architect.
Pros:Rich formula, gives thick, volumnized lashes. Cons:Pricier than drug store brands that give the same effect.
I love High Impact! It's the only mascara I've ever used that actually does anything to my lashes. I only pay $14.50 for it here in WV, so I don't think it's too pricey.
I received a sample of this and thought it was really good, it gave nice thick, long, defined black lashes. However I do think that you will more than likely find cheaper products out there that do the same thing if not better. I liked the results but I think that it isn't worth the price, I don't plan to purchase it but will glady use anymore free samples I receive in the future.
I
got a sample of this at a Clinique Counter, I can't say that I like
this mascara B=but I don't hate it either! It has a great black color
,it doesn't give volume to my lashes but it gives them more lenght,
also the brush is too large for my small lashes!
Review on: Clinique - High Impact
Mascara is something I am very fickle about. I'm always looking for something better! I first tried High Impact mascara when I received it as a gift-with-purchase. I loved it and have since purchased the full size twice. I love it because it gives me the big, thick, dramatic lashes I want in just 1 or 2 coats. (I'm not into the natural look--I like huge, beautiful lashes!) It layers well without clumping, IF you take care to wipe excess product off the tip of the wand with a tissue. The formula is very thick and the wand tends to get overloaded. That is one of 2 drawbacks I experienced. The other was that it does tend to break down at the end of a long day, the fibers end up drifting into my eyes which is irritating. Now, I'm talking about a VERY long day, say 14 hours. So obviously I have high demands of my makeup! BTW, I have naturally curly eyelashes, so I don't look for curling properties in a mascara. I can't say how this would work for someone with that issue. Overall I love this product; it'll be my mascara of choice until something better catches my eye! Pun intended...

Pros:Goes on nicely, builds/layers well, only 1-2 coats needed for a very dramatic look. Cons:Wand gets overloaded with product, needs to be wiped off periodically.
Review on: Clinique - High Impact
This is my night time mascara. It really darkens and thickens my lashes nad adds lots of length without looking like I'm trying too hard. Very sexy, but not over the top. A bit expensive, but worth it!
Review on: Clinique - High Impact
So, when I bought this, the sales lady told me to be prepared for dramatic lashes and that I might want to use it "only at nighttime." Ha..ha.. and ha! LOL
This isn't very "high impact" IMO. It probably does a pretty decent job, but I have very high standards when it comes to mascara, ok? LOL It lengthens fairly well and thickens OK, but not good enough to deserve the name it has.
Plus, for the price, you could get Voluminous for cheaper and get better results. IMO of course (and aren't all reviews in our own opinions?) LOL :D
Pros:Lengthens and thickens decently Cons:Not very "high impact"
Quality does not justify the price
