Buxom's better than Show. Buxom doesn't provide raccoon eyes (as Show does), and Buxom gets all the way to the roots of each lash, unlike Show.

I think it depends on what you want out of your mascara. I like DiorShow because it dries faster, and Buxom stays moist the whole time. Staying a bit gooey gives the eyelashes a less brittle feel, and even a more natural look, BUT I like to use eyelash tools like combs and curlers, and they don't do a good job on moist eyelashes. Buxom lengthens and does a good job at getting every eyelash because of the smaller brush, but doesn't add as much volume or color as DiorShow's thicker brush.

Diorshow by far is better.

Buxom by far. Used to be a die hard DiorShow fan, but it always dried out too fast, as I was warned it would. Buxom lasts longer and does just as great of a job, if not better!

I used to use Diorshow but this is now my favorite mascara. I also recently tried the lashstash sampler and I am still buying my buxom lash again. It is perfect and easy to put on. No clumps and stays looking great and I love the brush.

I like Buxom better because it is a true black. Diorshow is more of a black with a hint of blue.

I bought Diorshow after I saw my co-worker's bold and dramatic lashes. Unfortunately, it's not good to use if you have sensitive skin. My eyes started burning and tearing up mid-day and by the end of the day my eyelids were swollen. I bought buxom as a lighter option and I LOVE it. If you're not so sensitive Diorshow is more dramatic, but Buxom is a safer alternative and the brush looks cooler.

I use both of them together. I start with applying the diorshow iconic on first to lengthen and separate. Then I apply the buxom to make my lashes really black.

I've tried both Busom and DiorShow, and I'm a bigger fan of Buxom. Dior was too heavy and clumpy. Yeah, it volumized, but that was because there was no separation in the lashes. I like Buxom because it volumizes every single lash, without clumping. But it's something your going to need to see for yourself. Try them both!

I like buxom lash but it doesnt even compare to diorshow blackout!

I have never bought Dior mascara but I have tried lots of mascaras (and I am very picky with my mascara) and I cant find a flaw in this product so far. It doesnt run, flake, or smear and it delivers length and volume along with a great big rubber bristled brush. This is the best mascara I have tried so far and I would rccomend this proudly.

i have both diorshow and buxom mascaras. i prefer diorshow because it give me volume and curl than buxom. plus, diorshow does not smear and flake like the buxom mascara. diorshow stays from morning to nite with no flakes and the texture of diorshow on my lashes feels silky. i would recommended the diorshow since trying both of the mascaras for about 3 months and buxom always give me flakes later on in the evening.

This is way better than DiorShow for me personally. I bought a full size of DiorShow but had to return it due to an eye infection it caused starting with the second day of use. I received this Buxom Lash as a free deluxe sample and I am hooked. Love everything about it and will buy the full size when I run out.

I've used both, and I prefer the Buxom lash. It is a much lighter formula than DiorShow, so it holds a curl better and gives much more definition. The DiorShow is slightly better as far as volume, but I found it to get clumpy very easily. Also, Buxom lash is not nearly as heavily perfumed as the DiorShow.

It is not waterproof however, it is smudge proof!

It's definitely not waterproof- the only mascara I've found that never smudges is Blinc, but it doesn't provide quite as much volume and intensity as Buxom. I tend to use Blinc for everyday wear, and put on Buxom when I'm going to a party or something because it's more dramatic and I won't need it for quite as long.

I did get racoon eyes at the end of the day. Look somewhere else if you want a stay-put mascara. If nothing works, try the "Blinc" Kiss me mascara, takes some time to get used to it but it is the absolute best for avoiding racoon eyes.

I've worn this everyday and have had to walk through a lot of weather to get to classes. A little bit of rain isn't too much of a bother as long as you don't rub your eyes, but I wouldn't expect it to hold up in a storm or while swimming. Wind also gives me some trouble because my eyes tear up pretty badly, but this will just leave little smudges in the corner. The good news is that it you can clean the smudges off pretty easily, and it really doesn't run too horribly. Raccoon eyes is an overstatement.

NO ITS NOT BUT YOU WONT REGRET IT STAYED ON ALL DAY ITS THE BEST EVERYDAY MASCARA. IM A MASCARA LOVER AND HAVE TRIED ALMOST ALL OF THEM AND I HAVE ANOTHER ONE THATS MY FAV BUT ITS REALLY HEAVY FOR ECRYDAY USE . YOU SHOULD BE REALLY

This formula is NOT waterproof. If your bottom lashes rest on your skin and you have oily skin or are in a high humidity environment, you may experience raccoon eyes.

It is NOT waterproof but it does not smudge easily, even on the bottom lashes.

yes it will flake underneath your eyes and you will have the raccoon eye look. I loved the brush and the feel but without the waterproof and the fact that it does indeed flake-it is a product I would not buy. I would keep looking.

I have yet to have the dreaded "coon eyes" effect with this mascara, as long as you use it lightly on the bottom lashes. Touch them gently with the brush no more than 2 times and you should be fine!

It is not waterproof, however after it is dry you should have no smudging. And, I had no problem with little raccoon eyes either. Actually, I do not think we will find a mascara that is absolutely flawless, we are more in it for the look so I really think most will appreciate this one, (for look and wear).

I"m not sure if it's waterproof... but I can tell you that I cried and it didn't run all over the place. No racoon eyes.

It doesn't leave them on me. I use the BE Make-up Remover and a Dermalogica Make-up Remover. Find a Remover (complete make-up or eye-area-only one that works great and removes all of the product, THEN wash your face. I've found this one step changes whether I have Raccoon Eyes or not. Hope it helps!

Buxom is so much better than BadGirl Lash. I don't understand why so many people like BadGirl. I did not think it was good at all.

i really like buxom lash! the only thing is that once you've had it for a while and it starts getting old (like more than 5 months), it starts flaking because it's drying out. other than that, no complaints! doesn't run, burn my eyes, make my lashes brittle, or anything.

I've used Diorshow (both versions) Benefit badgal and this.
Benefit was by far the worst. I was stuck with it for half a year because I was living in China at the time. I kept wanting my Diorshow back! It flakes and was more drying. However now I'm hooked on Buxom :)

i have used benefit badgal, and though it lengthened my lashes, it flaked and ran for me as well. i have been using the buxom mascara for a week now and it hasn't done either of those things. i also feel like my lashes are fine after i take it off... the benefit badgal left them feeling a bit dry and brittle. =/

i've used, loved and raved about the buxom mascara since before i came on with the company. i got a trial of badgal from the vendor and could not figure out why its the big seller. it ran and made my lashes stick together so much. it was sad. i still love and rave (ask my co-workers i never shut up about it) about the buxom mascara.. and now i give all my mascara samples to my mom to try. i don't bother switching.

speaking for myself..this is a great mascara.i have tried sooo many and different brands but this one is great adn just makes your eyes volumnized but natural..it stays put and doesn't run.I just love this mascara!

I haven't experienced that problem and I have a tendency to get oily around my eyes sometimes. Also my eyes tear up a lot when I yawn. No raccoon eyes as of yet

This doesn't run at all

Buxom mascara has not run on me, even when I was snowboarding all day.

I used to use the Bad Gal Lash and now I have switched to Buxom and I am hooked!

.37 oz or 11 mL

0.37 fl or 11ml

it says on the bottom of the tube .37 fl oz. or 11cc

0.37 fl. oz.

I believe its .37 oz.

This mascara is 0.37 fluid ounces. (: Hope this helped!

if you buy it the box should say it on there

i am not exacly sure but it is about the size of any normal mascara and is amazing you should really get it if you want i will let you know for sure soon i will go too the store to get more fab. eyeshadow and loook for you

thanks for the question though

The full sized product is 11 mL or 0.37 fl. oz.

0.37 ounces

Tough one! I would say benefit they're real wins this though. Buxom looks really awesome with another mascara on top but "they're real" looks better alone and isn't codependent on another mascara.

I believe the Buxom brush does a better job at naturally curling the lashes due to the dip. I also feel like my lashes don't need as much product with the Buxom.

I found that the They're real mascara weighs down the lashes more but it does thicken your lashes. And for the Buxom it is lightweight and volumizes while lengthening. Personally I prefer the Buxom.

I have used both and I personally prefer Buxom.

benifit there real is great i like the formula nd brush better if you have tiny lashes the spikey end on there real really gets in there and i thin there real lasts longer

go buxom way better

Buxom any day. Although the formulas are similar (as are the wands) Buxom stays clump-free longer and is easier to remove at the end of the day. They're Real left a ring after removal that was hard to get rid of.

That is a tough one. I love them both and use them both often. I find Buxom to be free of alot of chemicals so eye itchiness doesn't happen as much. but luckily I haven't had any problems with either.

LOVE this mascara. Please note that the first few times you use a new tube it won't perform well. After a few times it creates long and thick lashes, but at first it is a bit thin like liquid liner. BUT it is well worth it anyways!! I have used every thing from Chanel to Loreal and this is tops. Plus who wants to put something on their eyes that has a warning that it can make you go blind. Yes, they have a warning on regular mascara. (something I never noticed until switching to more natural makeup)

yes

it's not really necessary but i think that is up to you.

I have gone with and without a primer when
using Buxom lash. However, I would only
apply one coat of this mascara. Or the lashes
will stick together when using too much.

You do not need a primer at all. However, if paired with a primer you really get a WOW effect.

I pair, at night, with a light coat of Lancome primer.

No, but use Shu Uemura's tiny lash curler to curl every last lash!

I've never used a lash primer but no, not with this mascara. It actually does what the description says. Voluminizes, non- clumping or flaking and makes my lashes so long they rub my glasses.

No, not necessary! :)

No primer needed

I say NO WAY! This mascara needs no other help!

It is not waterproof however, it does not smudge once it has dried. I hope that this helps!

No, this mascara is not waterproof.

no

I don't think so but I'm not sure.

No

no - it's not waterproof... washes off with cleanser in the shower (I use Purity by Philosophy). I heard it's not good to use waterproof mascaras in general (unless it 's for something specific and it's only once in a while).

It's not waterproof, but stays on pretty well in my opinion.

No, this mascara is not waterproof.

Do not let dry between coats.

Do not let the marcara dry between coats. Give it around 30 seconds, but your lashes should still be soft to to the touch. Once they dry, they are hard and the product will go on clumpy.

Apply the first coat and let it dry for a couple of seconds and then apply the second coat.

YES let it dry! It only takes a few seconds! My technique is adding a coat to the tips of my lashes FIRST! Then two full coats!

I use only one coat.

I usually just put on two coats. I don't wait for it to dry. If you do that, there might be a risk of clumping because the bristles won't go on smoothly. I hope that helps!

personally , its easy to add more when its not dry. Because it drys hard, and you can't really do any more movement

Let the first coat dry. It really doesn't matter how many layers you put on as long as you do thin coats and let each dry in between.

Its a normal size mascara

.37 oz or 11 mL pretty good size

I'm not exactly sure how many fl oz (I lost mine), but I do know that you get quite a lot of applications out of it.

11 ml or 0.37 fl oz

Mine says .037 fl oz on the bottom of tube

0.37 FL. Oz

0.37 Fluid Ounces

There is not a size printed on the bottle but it is a full size tube and seems to hold plenty of product.

by the way I do wear contacts so that might be why, even though the other mascaras I have don't do that

I'm not sure but this makes my eyes water for like the first four hours of wearing it. Seriously, people ask me if I'm crying. Other than that i love this mascara so much... :\

It is from the Bare Escentuals line.

No, actually, you will need to hit the 'read more' button which says it has Butylene Glycol, PVP, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Sucrose Polystearate, Acrylates Coploymer, Stearic Acid, Tribehenin, Behenyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 80, Triethanolamine, PEG-800, Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract, Rhodochrosite Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Squalane, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Disodium EDTA, Bisabolol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hematite, Hexylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate.

Most cosmetics are not 'natural' - removing phenol and phtalates are big things to look for though as they have been linked to cancer.

yes ! its light enough to wear daily , and the more you apply the thicker it can be

I do not know. The mascara is formulated without parabeans, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, and phthalates.

I don't believe it is, or else it would have the Sephora Natural Seal next to the image of the product. However, it is paraben free.

Hope this helps!
