Not a winner for me

I received a mini version of this as part of a Clinique GWP. The brush applicator looked promising, it is of the natural bristle variety and looks like it would give you lots of volume. Unfortunately this did nothing for my lashes, gave me no volume, only a little length and didn't hold a curl very well. I also found that it flaked off my lashes somewhat throughout the day. After a couple of uses I have thrown this one out- lifes too short for a bad mascara!

This one is hugely popular but unfortunately did not work for my lashes so wouldn't personally recommend it.

In 'like', but not 'in love'

This mascara is pretty good, and it seems to mostly do what it says it will. So, things I like about it... (#1) It doesn't smudge and give me panda-eyes (#2) It lasts through the day (#3) Very easy to remove, a washcloth will take it off (#4) It doesn't clump at all!

So these are all really, really good things right? What I don't get with this mascara is any lengthening or body to it. I have very fine, shortish lashes and I just don't find this mascara gives me the oomph that I'm trying to find in a mascara. So while I like it lots, and I would definitely recommend it for people with longer, fuller lashes... I'm afraid I'm still looking for my perfect 5/5 mascara *sigh*

The only mascara I can use

I have very sensitive eyes and this is the only mascara I can use without getting any redness or tears. It also creates beautiful full lashes without clumping.Love it!

Perfect Long Lashes.

I got a deluxe sample of this when I ordered some Clinique skincare. I hadn't tried any Clinique mascara so before so was excited to give this a go.

The packaging is sophisticated as it comes in an emerald green tube. It isn't something that would catch my eye on a shelf but it looks nice. The brush is a traditional wand.

My first thought when applying this was that the formula is really wet. I was concerned that it would get all over my eyelids but it didn't (and hasn't since). Once you get over the feeling of a super wet mascara it's fine. It doesn't take long to dry and doesn't leave your lashes looking clumpy or spidery.

In fact, that is what I love so much about this mascara. I have naturally long and thick lashes, so most mascara clump them together and make them look like one giant lash. I love the look of splayed out lashes and this is does that for me. It's like it coats each lash individually and separates them. I love how fanned out my lashes look when using this.

If you're someone that likes your lashes to look more voluminous, then I don't think this is right for you. This definitely gives length but not so much volume.

I love this mascara and will definitely be purchasing it once my no spend is over.

Long lashes and no clumps

I have a mini size of this mascara that I got with a whole bunch of other clinique products from my sister for my birthday. I'm usually a drugstore mascara girl so I was really excited about trying this one out.

When I first started using this, I actually didn't like it. The formula was quite wet and it didn't seem to do anything special to my lashes. I used it a couple of times and then it just sat in eye makeup box and I moved onto other things. After about a month or so I picked it up again and decided to give it another go. This time, I loved it. Being open for a few weeks helped dry out the formula a little bit and it is like magic for my lashes. I have quite short, sparse ones but this gives me so much length and keeps all my lashes separated. It doesn't give me massive volume but two coats gives me a really nice amount and still with no clumps.

The formula doesn't flake off at the end of the day or irritate my eyes. It's also reasonably easy to remove at the end of the day (I use makeup wipes).

I really enjoy using this mascara, I'll be sad to have to throw it away when it's all gone. I'm pretty sure I'll re-purchase even if it is about 3 times what I normally spend on mascara. I'm impressed enough with it that I think it's worth it.

My go to mascara - Clinique High Impact

I absolutely love this mascara. I first received it as part of the Clinique bonus time set and fell in love. It does exactly what it says - gives you noticeably lash definition but minus the clumping like many similar mascaras leave you with. It's also noticeable yet not fake looking if that makes sense - a more natural definition.Would highly recommend for both day and night.

Tips: One coat for day and double up for evening out. Also recommend using Clinique Take the day off cleansing balm or makeup remover for lids,lashes and lips. Either will remove all traces of this mascara.

One of my favourites

I can never find a mascara as black as this. No matter how hard you look you can never find black black. This is dark and never clumps, you can even keep applying layer after layer once it's dry without it clumping! I don't ask much of a mascara, other than to make my lashes dark, thick and keep it single file! This one does it all. Highly recommended and worth the price.

LOVE this mascara

This mascara is perfect for me. It makes my lashes long and the brush gets the individual lashes. It's the perfect consistency so it doesn't clump. I've tried loads of mascaras and this is the first that I can see a real pretty difference in my lashes. It comes off easily. The only bad thing about it is when it gets in your eyes it stings like hell - like more than other mascaras.

Tips: Don't wear if you are going in the rain, or sweating. It hurts in your eyes!

Mediocre at best

This mascara gets alot of hype and for the price you pay I expected it to be amazing but it's just average at that, the brush is nothing amazing and the formula is too wet for my liking (as is my experience with all Clinique mascaras) and is prone to leaving marks just under my brow bone and under the eyes after application, takes quite along time to dry and takes alot more fuss than I need in the morning for such a pricey product.

Definitely high impact

I don't use this all the time as I find it a bit pricey for a mascara, but I do love it. Would give 5/5 if not for that.

I have pretty average lashes, not particularly long or thick but when I use high impact I certainly notice a difference compared to other brands. People actually comment on my lashes and think I have extensions, for this reason alone I love this product.

It's no harder to apply than any other mascara, the formula is a good consistency that goes on your lashes with ease. It's not too wet that it ends up all over my lids and not to dry that I have to put on 5 coats to notice it.

I always use 2 coats for extreme definition, but you can easily do one coat and still look stunning. The colour is an exceptionally black black, nothing wishy washy about it
