Gasp! I love Opulash! I didn’t think that it failed (Open question to anyone: How do you know if a mascara fails? Aren’t most of them kind of a matter of personal opinion – For example, I HATE Maybelline’s Great Lash but it’s been popular for years). Opulash applied with the wand it comes with is good, applied with MAC’s mascara fan brush (205 I think?) and it’s DEE-VINE!

Incidently my top three are Plushlash, Pro Longlash and Studio Fix Lash 😛 LOL!

Sarah C Avatar

I agree with Dusty as well. Opulash is DA BOMB, and before that, I was addicted to Studio Fix Lash. They are my two fave MAC mascaras. All the others that I’ve tried did not impress me.

Aubrey Avatar

FYI i love what opulash did, but it dried out on me so fast and it flakes like crazy… i take good care of my things and i dont like in a dry area…

JEN Avatar

i have stick straight lashes…which don’t really work well with big wands. studio fix lash is alright and plushlash’s formula dries up quickly for me. i’ve tried giorgio armani’s eyes to kill mascara and it’s awesome!

Mariah Avatar

Wait, what? Am I the only one bending their brain trying to figure out how this thing works? Is it that “haute” is when the brush gets pulled through extra tubing, pulling off excess mascara, leading to a more natural look, but if you use the “naughty” part it has more product on it, leading to more plush lashes? CONFUSED!

Halo Avatar

Also so confused need some eyedrops too much staring at the pic trying to wor the concept out. Im sure once she gets more info she’ll post about how its supposed to work

jillo Avatar

oh I think I figured it out. there are two brushes in one mascara! see how the the thin one doesn’t have the glitter cap on the handle? and the other thicker one does.

THe thin one stays inside the other wand and pops out the end,but not all of it, giving you a smaller brush. That is also why the other wand is fatter –it’s holding the thinner wand.

I totally sucked at describing that, but look and try to see what I’m saying.

Ashley Tatton Avatar

That’s what a girl on Specktra said, pretty much. That undoing just the pink wand gets less product on the wand and creates a more separated and lengthening look, and if you untwist at the sparkly cap it pulls out with the same amount of mascara as a regular tube. She said she was in market research for it.

Haley Avatar

Excusez-moi, I have Lancome’s Oscillation mascara and it works like a dream to separate my lashes and evenly coat them with no clumping! Great vibrating mascara.

knownever Avatar

I wonder what the two slightly different packaging styles denote…or is this just one mascara tube with two different style brushes that somehow (magic?) come out of the same tube? mysterious…

Jessi Avatar

I, for one, am really happy with Opulash – it’s really black and dramatic without looking clumpy or unnatural, easy to apply, it doesn’t smudge on me (which is miraculous compared to everything else I try) and it doesn’t need a surgical strike to remove at night.

MAC doesn’t normally release this many mascaras, does it?

Ashley Avatar

This is completely unrelated, but I really wanted to share the goodies I found this weekend in Pigeon Forge, Tennesse at the cosmetics company. MAC:) I think they were all le’S. I got femme fi (most exciting), dear cupcake, expensive pink, and infatuating rose: 6 cool eyes. Also, dazzleglass rue d’rouge and jingle jangle (one of my dog’s many nick names!). Wish I could have gotten more! Shadows were $10.25, e/s sets(6)$26.75, dazzleglass $12.25. The outlet mall was one of the tanger malls:)

Christine Avatar

This looks pretty cool but I’ve always been disappointed by MAC mascaras…not sure if I will try this or not. I gave up on their mascaras a long time ago. I will be interested to see some reviews of this.

Ashley Avatar

Is this another 2 mascaras in one thing? They really think that works? I tried the one from Rimmel and it was no good for me!

melissa Avatar

I think how this works is when you unscrew just the pink lid it pulls the brush through a thin tube, so less product on the brush. You can see that the stick is thicker when unscrewed at the purple level. There is no other way for this to work, it just boggles my mind.

Jen Avatar

I got to test this product a few weeks ago – it is the BEST mascara EVER!! The product needed to be returned after 4 weeks and I have been missing it every day since!! You will not be disappointed with this one!

tina Avatar

lol this looks like the biggest ripoff ever. the “extra tube” is such a gimmick. just brush your mascara wand off on a tissue.

KATT Avatar

Make-up companies develop new mascaras due to gaps in their lines (customer needs). Opulash and Studio Fix Lash are both fantastic mascaras- for the right people. Opulash does nothing for me but Studio Fix Lash is amazing.

Melissa Avatar

Whoa. The packaging is very nice looking. It will be interesting to see how this performs in real life. Will it be a gimmick that doesn’t really do much or will it be the new HG of mascaras?

Jennifer Avatar

that second picture of the purple e/s is freaking me out. idk why, but it’s giving me the heebie jeebies really bad :/

Brenda Avatar

I just commented on how that picture is CREE-PY!! Then I read up to the previous comments…glad I”m not the only one freaked out by it!

cmferret Avatar

i love how they put 2 orfice in the description. sounds dirty! =) lol
i cant wait to try it . i loved the opulash mascara they came out with . im still confused on how it wrks though

Jennifer Avatar

Well I just ordered this on mac online, since they emailed a free shipping code : Naughty (works today only!)

I caved. It seems interesting, even if in the promos they girl is wearing false lashes.

I hope this mascara means one way it just defines and lengthens and the other way it thickens and gives volume, because then it would be perfect.

Michou Avatar

Neither of those lashes look…. attractive to me. The second set (model) looks like her lashes are clumpy and FALLING OFF.

Definitely a pass for me.

JD Avatar

Christine, I think you should teach us how to do the pink look! Oh and re: your post on waxing, I went for mine today, sans alcohol and it was great!

Leelee Avatar

Being the purple fanatic I am, I am LOVING that purple eye look. So intense and dramatic and most of all pretty!! all though I think the thick black eyebrows might be a bit much 😡

The packaging is super cute, but I’m definitely not a fan of MAC mascaras.

Shannon Avatar

soooooooooo…what are the promo pics supposed to be showing…? because they’re obviously wearing falsies. O___o MAC, if you’re trying to entice us into buying your mascara, it’s not very nice to show us badly photoshoped (or just badly photoed?) pictures of false eyeslashes…

Elysia Avatar

I just bought new mascara today, so i’ll skip, but I muuuust know what they used on the second look for the purple eyes!!!!

ezzie Avatar

i’m actually kind of loving the promo pics! absolutely stunning colors. mac’s mascaras have always been a hit or a miss, so i’m interested on how these will perform!

Evelyn Avatar

Orifice is just not the right word to use to describe each end of the mascara…so bad! Now, in terms of seeing what the mascara does on real lashes, it’s really hard to tell considering both of those pictured eyes are wearing false lashes. If they are supposed to represent what you would look like in this mascara, I’d have to pass, I think clumpy or spiky aren’t good choices for me.

mariana Avatar

woooooooooooooow i love both of them mmm whats the difference christinee? oooh an by the way what does it meann cdn :S jej =)

Ms. Jimmi Avatar

Like most mascaras, the make all sorts of elaborate promises and some live up to the hype and some fail. Am I alone when i think they must be wearing false eyelashes for the mascara ads? I thought Opulash was a fail.

Jess H Avatar

HOW THIS MASCARA WORKS.
The pink level has a thinner tube part at the top, so mascara is scraped off the brush, giving a more defined lash look. The purple tube part is a lot wider than the pink, so more mascara stays on the brush, meaning there is more thickness, etc. It’s the exact same brush, I don’t think there are two brushes in one? That’d be very strange.

Hilana Avatar

A friend just called me and told me she brought me Plushlash back from The States!! Whoohoooo!!!

I have never had a MAC mascara, so I am totally stoked to try it out! I’m feeling like a kid before Christmas right now….. 🙂

Chloe Avatar

I didn’t really like rimmel’s mascara that works on the same idea.However, i did really like MAC’s opulash and if this has the same brush and a similar formula then this could be a real winner as opulash is quite extreme and i do like the natural look.
