I have fine short lashes and i love how this mascara makes my lashes look fuller and longer.
I personally would reccomend this if you have short wish they where long lashes.
Just dont apply too much and its perfect.
About people talking about the smell, I havent noticed a weird smell lol all mascaras smell the same to me.
Love a good mascara. One that doesn't clump and creates a nice look - basically if I buy one I want it to do what they claim and not make me look like I've got tar on my eyes.
I love using this for night time looks. I would save this for occasions where you want heavier makeup, whereas for the kindy run I prefer a more natural lash look (using great lash usually). So it's definitely a thicker solution that slightly elongates and definitely thickens the lashes.
It doesn't clump which is amazing as like I said the solution is thicker. Given its thickness it lasts a long time. I only needed one coat to achieve the desired look. So I definitely think it lives up to the claim of maximising volume.
The brush/wand itself is good - no trouble to use it. I have had some trouble with brushes in the past but this one was nice to use and allowed for easy application. It spread the solution really evenly which was a surprise as given the thickness I was thinking it was going to be too heavy but it actually wasn't.
If it's length your after I would perhaps use a length formula mascara. I'm happy with my natural length and do love adding length sometimes but for dramatic eyes for a night out this is one of my favourites especially when I'm trying for a smoky eye.
I do find it best to remove using makeup remover/wipes prior to showering as if I got some wash off in my eyes I get stingy eyes. Most can do this to me so if you have sensitive skin remove any makeup properly.
Love this mascara though it really completes a look.
