THINGS TO RAVE ABOUT

• Lengthens and Voluminizes with Minimal Coats: "Four complete coats and I was already at a "Falsies" level of extension and height, without the thickness which can become burdensome after several additional coats." by ultraviolet
  
• Soft Lashes: "No flaking or hard lashes several hours after product dried. Enough lash flexibility where I would not be worried about raccoon eyes or fallen lashes if I fell asleep before removal." by annacristina
  
• Natural Looking: "Gives that great separation and length where I might actually look like I have really long lashes naturally. No clumping or sticking together for me and they stay soft." by bailey22
• Defining Brush: "The brush! The wand size was perfect for my almond shaped eyes. It really gets into the corners and picks out those stumpy little guys that need defining." by ferndarling
  

THINGS TO RANT ABOUT

• Very Wet Formula: "Very wet formula, so it takes forever to dry and thus leaves my lashes not so curled." by mcccbex
  
• Smudges: "Unfortunately, it leaves big black smears under my eyes. Yesterday I thought maybe it was my new eyeliner that left the ring, so today the mascara was the only eye makeup I wore. HUGE black smudges under my eyes." by chynnablue

IS IT FOR YOU?


YES:
Need an on-the-go, minimal-coat mascara

Want natural-looking separation and length

 Desire soft, non-sticky/hard lashes

NO:

Unwilling to deal with very wet lashes that tend to smudge after long wear
