Worth it
I never buy high-end mascaras, just because they only last for 3 months once opened. However, I finally decided to take a risk and get a fairly expensive MAC mascara. I asked the lady at the MAC store for a mascara that gave length and volume, but was still wearable because I go to school. She told ...

Comments about Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara - Intense Black
I bought it because everyone said that it was the best mascara. I had a small brush easy to apply, but it feels like I have alcohol on my eyes the entire time I can't wait for the day to be over to take it off.
THE BEST
This mascara is my all time favorite. Gives a very natural look without clumping. No clumping at all! I love the look of lashes being long and separated -almost like they would look with eyelash extensions on- and this does the trick. So natural. No flaking either.
Smudges with normal wear
On the hunt for a new tubing mascara after IT Cosmetics discontinued theirs. Unfortunately, still looking. MAC Extended Play Gigablack looks great after an easy application; however, it smuges under my eyes with normal use.
Solid every day mascara, does not clump or flake
I've been using Extended Play for over 15 years. It's a great product.
This is the only mascara to use.
The best mascara for the price.
