What do you want from your mascara?
I am a cheap cosmetics user and this was an indulgence after doing some research on mascara. Your happiness/disappointment with this product is going to depend entirely on what you want from your mascara. Some brands claim to thicken by clumping at the base of your lashes. It does look dark and thick. This one has an entirely different tactic. It coats your lashes in an almost silicone looking liquid that hardens into the shape of the lash. When you wash it off, it comes off easily and in one piece,  like pulling off leather pants. It never smears after it's dried, so you never get that black tint under your eye. If you don't wash it off, it can potentially look good for two days. If you are looking for individually defined lashes, this works well. If you want the fake eyelash look, you'll be disappointed.
