Worst mascara I’ve ever used

Horrible mascara. Bottle cane basically empty, I have to work for 10 minutes just to get my lashes half coated, it flakes off and gets into your eyes, and also at the end of the day I’m left with mascara coating my under eyes like a raccoon. Not even worth the trouble to return, it’s going in the trash.

Love this mascara! But the mini not the full size. The brush for the mini is different from the full size and better. It gives your lashes tons of volume. Why different brushes for different sizes??

This is definitely a different formula and, in my opinion, not as good or as sweatproof as "lifted." Surfer Curl gives you mascara eyes and is nowhere as natural looking as lifted.

No, it's not sweat proof if you're really working up a sweat. I've tried leaving it on at least 5 times during HIIT classes and by the end it's quite smudged. Again, lots of sweat. If you're just 'glowing' a bit while doing yoga, low-intensity exercises, or relaxing on a warm day you'll probably be fine. I really wanted to like it as much as Lifted, but it doesn't suit my needs. Back to Lights, Camera, Splashes until i find a better contender!

Which one is better this one or maneater?

Lorena S on Jan 27, 2020

BEST ANSWER: Hey there! Maneater and Surfer Curl are a little different in effect, so it just depends on what you're looking for to which one you would like better! Surfer curl gives volume and helps curl the lashes, and Maneater is all about volume and length. I love them both equally. You could always try them both in travel size to help make your decision! Hope this helps.

The Surfer Curl Volumizing Mascara does provide some length, but really amps up the volume! If you would like to add addition length to your lashes, we recommend to prep your lashes with Opening Act Lash primer, which lengthens & strengthens with nourishing, plant-based conditioners to fend off flaking & fall-out.

It's not a dramatic lengthener, but it does lengthen some. It is very similar to the sweat proof Lifted mascara but offers a nice dark black color. If you want a little extra on the length, try a lash primer. I wear it without a primer through hot flashes, the gym, and the sauna with success.
