I got this product for free in a giftbag and its one of very few items that I've ever thought "I'm not giving this to a friend, it's THAT awful". Its clumpy and smudges terribly regardless of how much you put on!
I dont know if it actually does what it claims cause there is no way I was wearing this more then the requisite 3 days to tell that I hated it!
I naturally have quite long lashes, so am always on the hunt for something that can give me some serious volume. This mascara certainly does the job for me, and better yet actually makes my lashes look fluffy and falsie like which is the ultimate for me. Unlike some formulations this does the job straight from brand new, without the need to wipe a lot of product off the wand, or wait for the formulation to dry down over time. Because this isn't the wettest formulation I would imagine that this may dry up a little quicker than other mascara's however. I apply two coats of this on top of a regular waterproof mascara (as waterproof formulas hold my curl better) and don't have any issues with clumping. My biggest issue with this mascara is I do end up with panda eyes by mid afternoon- very common for me but nonetheless annoying. I would use other mascara's if I needed it to stay put all day. I find that this comes off easily enough at the end of the day with my usual cleanser and a swipe of eye-makeup remover.
