I'm very picky when it comes to mascaras and I was a bit afraid ordering this without trying it, but I shouldn't had. This made my lashes very long, I used an estee l. mascara before and the effect was very similar to that, but with a better price. It didn't smudge in the day, but I find it a little bit hard to clean it off my face. But thanks for that it really last long. Definetly a good buy. If you're looking for lengthening, this is a good choice.
