This is my favorite mascara of all time. And I've used hundreds of mascaras, from MAC to Covergirl and Urban Decay. Nothing compares to this one. I have two mini sized ones, one that I received in an Ipsy bag and one that a friend gifted to me for Christmas (so glad I have one ready to use when I run out of the first one!). This does not clump or smudge at all, it lasts a long time, and it really extends your lashes! I literally see my eyelashes grow when I apply this, even with just one coat. It looks absolutely beautiful and natural on my eyelashes, and it's my go-to mascara for day time and night time/special occasions. I can put this on without any makeup and just some eyeliner, and it makes my eyes look bigger and more girly, no need for a bunch of makeup. I've also had a problem with previous mascaras where when I go to take it off, I also take off about half my eyelashes along with it. This mascara doesn't cause my eyelashes to fall out. There is nothing better, I would highly recommend this!
