I have really long lashes, so in a mascara I look for a more natural effect, which is what this mascara definitely delivers. The mascara comes in a simple, but classy black box. The mascara itself is in a narrow and really long tube, which makes it a bit awkward to handle. The wand seems fairly standard; nothing special.
The mascara lengthens incredibly well, I end up with really long but incredibly natural looking eyelashes. However, this does not deliver on the volumizing part. This does nothing whatsoever to thicken up my lashes. I don't mind this, as I just want lengthening in my mascara, but I wouldn't recommend this if you were wanting volume as well. This mascara doesn't clump at all, which surprised me considering the low price. It builds up really well, and I find I can layer and layer it to achieve insane length, that still looks natural as this doesn't cake on my lashes. This dries quickly and doesn't smudge. I also found it rather easy to remove with make-up remover, which my lashes are thankful for.
Overall, this was affordable, lengthened amazingly, and gave me a really natural look so I'd definitely repurchase it.
I bought this mascara because it was cheap and I wanted a back-up mascara.
It didn't clump or stick together once on my lashes, but it was very dry and almost difficult to apply. I'm not sure if that was to do with the wand (which I didn't like) or the formula itself.
While the mascara did lengthen my lashes slightly, it didn't give them any volume, and it looked almost as if I wasn't wearing any mascara, even after several coats. The only difference between wearing this mascara and wearing no mascara was my lashes were slightly longer and my lower lashes were more defined.
This mascara did smudge, and at the end of the day I had panda eyes. I didn't wear any on my lower lashes after that and it solved the panda-eye problem, but I stopped using it as it did hardly anything to my lashes, even after layering it.
It was cheap, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it. There's other cheap mascaras you can get that don't smudge and give your lashes more length and volume.
