Why does it say the packaging may vary??

I’m not certain but would guess they may have different manufacture dates, so packaging is different. Wouldn’t recommend buying online. I ordered two and they were both dry as a bone. Threw them both away. They were very old. I’ve used this brand before and I loved it, so I’d suggest buying in the store to be sure of quality control. Sephora carries it.

Is this supposed to come with plastic wrapping? I’ve purchased before and it always was wrapped in plastic. Recent purchase was not.

Hi- yes it used to come wrapped in yellow plastic wrapping. A while back they removed it for eco-friendly purposes. Per their website. I sure hope the tube works for you! I stopped buying it after years of use. My purchases were always at Sephora. But many tubes I returned because the product wasn’t tubing. Coming out of the shower I looked like a raccoon and had to apply eye makeup remover to remove. Never had to do that before. The texture was different too. I truly believe the products have either expired or the company changed their ingredients and it should now be called ‘non-tubing’ mascara. I found on Amazon and found the same problem. Hope your tube tubes for you!

What is the size? The picture says .17 oz. Some of the other products listed are more $ per ounce but those pictures still says .17 oz.

The size stated on the tube is .17 oz.

Does the opening of the Amplified still glob up when you remove the brush? They made the opening so small. It removes most of the formula.

BUYER BEWARE!! The one I received seemed to be old. It didn't glob up, but it went on really dry not wet or slick. It was so dry it didn't form tubes around my lashes, and when I tried to rinse/wash it off, it didn't come off in tubes, but in tons of flakes. I told the sender, who never responded, so I just wasted all that money without receiving an exchange or refund.
