Of all the Cover Girl products I have tried, this is definitely one I will be repurchasing after 3 months (mascara expiration date). It darkens, lengthens, and thickens, beautifully but naturally. And it is such a great deal! I was always afraid to wear mascara because of previous bad experiences with other mascaras, such as Voluminous (way too clumpy), Professional (old version, smudged like you wouldn't believe), and 2000 Calorie (another clumper). This is a great, natural-looking mascara that won't put me on the streets (starving university student here). Definitely give it a try!
