I have been searching everywhere for a mascara that kept my lashes curled from my Shu Umera curler all day. I recieved this as a gift with purchase, put it on the next day after curling at 5:30 AM, worked all day and took it off at 9:00 bedtime. My lashes were just as curled and long at 9:00 pm as they were at 5:30 AM! Yesterday the MA at the Chanel counter told me I had the longest eyelashes she had ever seen, that is definately a first! I dont care about the price because other than this I have 4 mascaras in my drawer that didnt work and the price of the 4 combined (wasted $!) is equal to my dior mascara. Also, the tube you get is huge!!!! and the colors are great! I have black for the smokey look!
