I whined about it in more detail here, but essentially, this stuff a) smudges, b) runs, c) makes your lashes stick together, and d) DOES NOT COME OFF NO MATTER WHAT. Don't waste your money! Avoid! Avoid! (Watch, now like 50 people will post saying how they loved it, haha. Who knows. But I've never been less impressed by such an expensive product!)

I had this on my wishlist, so thanks for the review. I get panda eye very easily so this will not be for me.

Not everyone likes it, but I cannot recommend Clinique Lash Power enough. I hate most of their products so this was a real surprise, but I absolutely love the formulation as well as the brush. I get panda eye too but NEVER with this stuff! It's a tube mascara but not awful to remove, and it stays on better than stuff like Blinc Kiss Me in my opinion. Hope this helps, and glad I helped you avoid this one!

Oh thanks for this, I actually love Clinique high impact mascara, havent ever ventured into trying any other their other mascaras because Im very happy with HI. However I am always on the lookout for something with more volumme.
I will try this one instead...thanks

I agree. I had a hard time with this one. I actually tried the non-waterproof also, but when I washed my eyes I had smudges I couldn't take off. It was really strange. Diorshow is a great one though.

Ive had to much trouble in the past with macaras with the exception of Clinique high impact. So now I really only use tube mascaras mainly from Mirenesse and soon to try Becca Ultimate and the Clinique one recommended above.
I have trouble with Diorshow unfortunitley and it dried up way to quickly.

I know there is another Dior mascara that is very popular. I can't remember the name of it though.

Thanks for the review so I know which one it's NOT!

I was also really disapointed with the Diorshow mascara... it was supposed to be great for not being clumpy, well it clumped! and I did notice it dried out pretty quick too!

I've just started using Dr. Hauschka maskara and I LOVE it! It's not waterproof but it doesn't smudge and comes off so easily when washing your face with water... obviously it wouldn't be good in rain, but my lashes feel so nice afterwards too! And it doesn't clump and lashes don't stick together but look really fine and long! Plus it's made from natural ingredients so should be great for those with sensitive skin!

Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a review of Dr. Hauschka Wink

never use waterproof mascara! All horrible at coming off. u might end up losing a few lashes before all the mascara is washed off.

I wanted to get this! I'd better not now. One that works really well for me is the cover girl one in the orange tube (forgot the name!) I have shorter lashes and smaller asian eyes and the cover girl mascara doesn't smudge. I bought the makeup forever waterproof smoky lash mascara too after a recommendation but find this smudges Sad

which I hate!

I love Dior Show mascara, so last summer when it was hot & humid I decided to try the Dior Show Waterproof. I also decided this was the worst mascara I think I have ever used. Just because it says "Dior Show" it is NOT the same as the non waterproof in any way. The waterproof formula, clumps, is very dry, dries out lashes really bad, (waterproof always does, but not like this one LOL). You also need to use make-up remover 4 or 5 times to get it off. I normally use a cheap Nutrogena remover & it works for everything but this mascara.

I would not recommend the waterproof formula at all, but I WOULD highly recommend the old normal Dior Show mascara.

i always love dior products such as the silky foundation and press powder. however, i never tried their waterproof mascara. wow! yuk! thanks for the review. i won't waste my $. its a shame that an expensive product is just so lacking.

For those of you who are having trouble taking off waterproof mascara, have you tried Lancome Bifacil? Be sure to shake it up, wet a cotton pad with it, then rest it on the lashes for 2-3 seconds before wiping. See how you go. Cheers.

I absolutely agree. And its not cheap. Mine clumps up really badly.

I like the Chanel one I bought better.
