"The only thing with this is I'm considering buying the waterproof one, because I have horribly dry eyes. This is the best mascara I've used in a very long time, but since my eyes have been really dry and [...] I'm touching them all day, [...] I'm finding that this flakes and deteriorates over time. [...] If I leave my eyes alone [...] I don't get any transfer, and it doesn't flake for me then, but with how much I'm touching them, I'm wondering whether I should try something different."

"This is in the brown shade. [...] It never crumbles, it never causes raccoon eyes, it gives great length, volume, and separation, and it's very easy to remove at the end of the day, which is what I'm looking for in a mascara, I hate having to work at my lashes and lose them in the process. [...] I really love the brush, it applies so nicely, and it's very long wearing. The brown shade is so nice."

"I love brown because it just gives more of a subtle look to the eye. It's not as harsh and as bold as black mascara. [...] Brown is really nice for everyday and just more for that subtle natural look. [...] I love the shape of the brush head. The application is really nice. It gives great separation, great volume. It doesn't give me raccoon eyes, doesn't crumble onto the lower lash line and it's also very easy to remove at the end of the day."

"This is very easy to remove at the end of the day as well so you don't have to fuss too much with your lashes when you're removing your makeup. I have used so many mascaras in the past that were so hard to remove that when you finally removed everything you've lost so many lashes in the process, so I don't get that with this whatsoever. This is just honestly one of the best and I love it. If you haven't tried this I really do recommend it."

"I like this mascara a lot because of the brush. I like how it's on an angle [...] so when you are applying this to your lashes you want this part to be against the lash at the base so that when you go up we get that nice lift and length and this really gives the perfect amount of lift and length especially if you pre-curl your lashes beforehand. Also this is very longwearing, very easy to remove at the end of the day and that is one thing that I look for in a mascara."

"I have an empty Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara, this has been my go-to all summer long. I was also using this a lot during the springtime as well. [...] This one gives great length and separation, it's easy to remove at the end of the day, and I don't get raccoon eyes either. I really like this one a lot, and yes I did purchase another one."

"It gives more of that softer look to the eyes. It's not as harsh and bold as black, so if you are looking for something that is more natural, more softer, then try brown. Brown is actually really nice. I don't think anybody would really notice that you're wearing brown because it still does kind of go on a little dark, but it's just not as bold. But I still love the traditional black, of course. I have a backup already in my linen closet. I can't be without this and I love it."

"I've been reaching for the Lancôme Lash Idôle in the shade brown. I've really been enjoying the brown shade because it just gives more of a softer look. It's not as harsh. It's nice for everyday and it's a nice change from traditional black. [...] I really love the brush. It has that nice curve. [...] I've been using the black shade for years. But ever since they came out with this brown shade, it has been my go-to."

"It gives great length and separation, great volume, but it's also very easy to remove at the end of the day and it doesn't give raccoon eyes at least for me, so it's one of my go-tos. I love a good brown mascara. Brown mascara gives more of a softer look to the eyes. It's not as harsh and as bold as black mascara, and sometimes I do like more of that natural softer look. I'm hoping that the formula is the same because if it gives raccoon eyes, if it crumbles, then no bueno."

"I have my eye on the brown one. I love a good brown mascara, and this is one of my favorite formulas of all time. It's such a beautiful mascara. It has a gorgeous curved brush. It's just foolproof. It's what I'm wearing today on my lashes. It's a nice little fluffy everyday mascara. Wears really well. I need a restock of this. It's one of my favorites and it's been in my routine and collection for years. Honestly, since it launched, [...] it's just a really, really good, reliable mascara."

"The Lancome Idole mascara, both the regular and waterproof, is a very good mascara. It's not the most intense if you're looking for volume, but it's extremely reliable. It's easy to use and hard to mess up, a really good mascara if you're the kind of person who's rushed in the morning."

Ulta Sale Week 2: UGH! Scammy, Stinky, Frustrating Products?! A lot to avoid IMHO...

"Lancôme's Idôle mascara is back in this sale, along with the waterproof option, and this really is a great mascara. [...] I believe a lot of the reason for that is the wand. The [...] plastic bristles are shorter overall and [...] on a slant, which really helps with separation so you don't end up with clumpy lashes, and the formula itself is more natural overall."

"The only other product in makeup that I do tend to finish is my mascara. It is by Lancôme, it is called Lash Idôle, and I can't even say how many of these I've gone through because I go through so many of them. [...] I got another [...] one for Christmas, [...] so I'm back in business and ready to go."

"I would never use a waterproof mascara, I just don't want stuff to stay. I don't have a need for something that lasts for 24 hours. This will last, it will look great, and I can remove it. [...] No clumping, no mess, no nothing, just no fuss. I love this mascara. [...] The effect is fabulous. It's expensive, about 33 bucks, and there are loads of more affordable options at the drugstore, but I just haven't found one that I like as much, so I keep rebuying it."

"I'm gonna give it a three because it's fine. It doesn't flake on me, it doesn't run, it just gives me like good looking lashes. If I had to use it I'd use it and I'd be happy with it, but I wouldn't be pumped about it. There's so many good ones out there. If one's like 30 bucks and it's good but it's not like mind-blowing and then there's one [...] that's 20 bucks and it gives you everything you need, why go back?"

"I've been using the Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara on not only my top lashes but my bottom lashes. The way it's shaped, it makes applying mascara to the bottom lid really easy. I flip it so that it's concave and use that for the upper lash and then I flip it so that it's convex and I just go back and forth on the bottom lash and it really gets them coated without being clumpy and going all over the place."
